AVIKA GOR

Actor wants performance-driven projects

rom winning hearts as Anandi in the TV show ‘Balika Vadhu’ to taking on challeng-
ing reality shows and films, actor Avika Gor says she now wants to be remembered
Ffor powerful performances and is consciously choosing roles that offer substance
over mere screen presence. Avika, who is set to return to the stunt-based reality show ‘Kha-
tron Ke Khiladi 15’, said she has become more conscious about selecting scripts that offer
substantial performances.
“I just believe that people expect a lot of performance out of me. There are some char-
acters that I keep doing in my films where I get to perform, I get to act, and I get to show
what I’m capable of as an actor. So I think for me, the focus is always going to be choosing the
right scripts, choosing the right characters where I get to do something more than just being
furniture in the film. So I will always be extremely conscious about choosing the right scripts
and choosing the right characters,” she said.
