"Very frankly I want to tell you after Manikarnika I never got any scripts in my hand. The reason was that I did not have any Godfather to push me to that level. I was talented I know that, but you know you should receive certain things to say no to. But I never received any such thing, it was never so I am receiving a number of scripts and I am reading it. The market outside is quite different, nobody is coming to you and giving you scripts. I can’t go to people and please them and ask I can’t do that."

Ankita mentioned how she can't go and ask people for work

In the same conversation, Ankita mentioned how her talent was never nurtured properly. However, she also explained that she can't go to people and pursue them to give her work. Elaborating on her thoughts, the actress revealed that she doesn't want to work in any big production house under the shadow of some other actress. She added:

"Today I feel that whatever is coming to me I want to do that wholeheartedly. That’s my thing because I cannot go to people and ask for work. Also, people don’t have time to give talent importance as there are some other things too. I am very talented I know that it’s better where I feel I will get work, where I will also receive respect. I don’t want to do small roles in any film. Or to stand beside some heroine I don’t want to do so. I want to do my film, no matter if it is small, or if it is a television series that is mine, I don’t mind doing that as it is mine and my talent is appreciated there. So I will work, where I am valued. I know how to make my own value and maybe that is the reason I am standing on my own doing my own things. I do not want to work with any big production house, it’s ok I really don’t want to work. As everyone has their own camp and I want to make my own camp and will work in that."

Ankita also opened up about turning a producer

Further, the Pavitra Rishta actress revealed her plans to become a producer. She mentioned that it is her dream to genuinely give a big break to good actors, the chance or platform she hadn't received until now. And even if her independent cinemas are not big enough to attract millions of audiences, Ankita firmly believes that good actors can pull off anything they want with their performances. She revealed:

"I am playing a lead in my next film and I got this film, The Last Coffee, it’s an independent cinema where people might not value it much as it is not a big production and known actors are not a part of this. The actors in this film are from different categories as I wanted to do like this for independent cinema as maybe tomorrow I might turn to an independent producer. Would love to launch real talent in this lifetime. I will really want that the opportunities that I never received would love to give people those opportunities. Genuinely I want to give a big launch with a nice story and good actors. Today the industry needs some good and talented actors, who are currently not there. I want to make my own camp where I can genuinely give people a chance. A place where there will be no corruption things will be quite clear and only talent will be there. I feel I can do this and I will do it."
