Raashii Khanna says 'Acting is the Most Insecure Job'
Recent remarks by Raashii Khanna revealed her significant career shift, describing how she moved from aspiring to be an IAS official to being a prosperous actor. Raashii discussed her thoughts on fate and life decisions during ABP Network's Southern Rising Summit, acknowledging that she formerly desired a stable career.
For those who are not familiar, Raashii Khanna, who hails from Paschim vihar in New Delhi, was accepted to Lady Shri ram college after achieving an impressive 91% on her board examinations. She acknowledged that she was always at the top of her school and university and was a front-bencher.
"Fate leads the willing and drags the reluctant" struck a chord with her, and she acknowledged that life is unpredictable.
The actress revealed, "I was prepared to let fate have its way. Since nothing I planned in life turned out the way I wanted it to, I did just that. My goal of becoming an IAS officer was not fulfilled. Actually, you always desire a stable career when you're growing up in a middle-class home. Your cushion is that. You search for it. You search for safety.
"Being an IAS officer was my father's dream, so I thought, 'Why not?'" she continued. It's safe. I'm pretty good in this topic; perhaps I'll do well here. However, god had a totally other idea, and I became an actress in the end.
The actress also said that her parents were her biggest supporters, stating, “They are the ones who said, 'jaa jee le apni zindagi.'”

Because you never know if you'll get another movie, it's the most precarious profession in the world. Sometimes you have to wait months or even years for it to happen to you. I've simply been really fortunate. I've seized chances when they've presented themselves.
"I love working," the actress said in closing. I've just been lucky enough to get the type of films I've done from all the industries."
