Exclusive! Akansha Ranjan Kapoor: I don’t believe in superstitions

Akansha Ranjan Kapoor made her acting debut with Netflix’s Guilty last year. Currently, she is busy garnering praises for her performance in Netflix's anthology Ray which started streaming on 25th June 2021.

In the segment Spotlight, Akansha plays the role of an actress who believes in the spiritual power of a god-woman named Didi (Radhika Madan).


We recently interacted with Akansha and while talking to us about the response she has received for Ray, the actress said, “I think overall everyone has really liked the product. I have got calls where people are talking about cinematography, background music, and everything, so I think overall it was a great episode to watch.”

“I am very grateful that people found my role impactful in that short period of time. So, I have got a lot of calls and a lot of messages, and you know I was not sure what the outcome will be. But, I am glad people have liked and appreciated my work,” she added.

When asked if she believes in any god-woman and godman, the actress said, “No, I am a cynic, and I don’t believe in religion or religious deities.”

Many actors change their names, so it can help them in their career. When we asked Akansha, if she has met someone who has told her to change her name, she stated, “My mother was like change your name, and feed roti to cow; I said I am not that kind of a person. I don’t believe in superstitions. So, it’s not something I have faith in.”
