Asha Negi

Life is a journey! An unexpected one, with unseen twists and turns that could potentially change your life forever. But you can get through it, with a little help from your friends. Khwabon Ke Parindey, an all-new offering from Voot, will take you through a voyage of hope, rediscovering life and being each other's truth serum, three friends - Bindiya, Dixit and Megha turn a road trip from Melbourne to Perth into an opportunity to heal wounds, fall in love and combat their worst fears.

After finishing post-graduation from the University of Melbourne, wild child, Bindiya, convinces two of her most trusted friends to accompany her on an ambitious and crazy road trip from Melbourne to Perth. This trip means everything to Bindiya, as this may be her last chance to let her hair down and live it up, before taking up responsibilities back in India. Pavitra Rishta actor Asha Negi considers her journey from television to the web a welcome change.

Commenting on the difference in characters played before and reminiscing real friendships, Asha Negi says, "Khwabon Ke Parindey is a journey of life and hope, but sometimes all you need are close friends to help you rediscover yourself. Bindiya, my character on the show is this complete wild child, who believes in embracing life every single day. When you shoot for a show like this, you tend to relive the moments with your best friends and I did too. However, over a period of time Mrinal, Mansi, Tushar and I got along really well and from being just co-stars we gradually became good friends; making the journey exciting. The entire experience of shooting for the show, made me realise the importance of friends and why it is necessary to have them around you. They are like your truth serum, who help you unravel your deepest secrets and fears and then help you get through it."

She adds, "The 60 days of shooting throughout Australia with this amazing young crew has been an unforgettable experience and I would go back to that time in a heartbeat. I thoroughly enjoyed playing Bindiya; although challenging, the transition of my portrayal of roles from television to web has been extremely refreshing.

A big thank you to my Rockstar director, Tapasvi Mehta and Voot for giving me this opportunity that has not only challenged me as an actor but as an individual as well."

For the uninitiated, Asha Negi made her Bollywood debut with Anurag Basu's Ludo, opposite Abhishek Bachchan.

Asha made her digital debut with Baarish, and later, the actress went on to play the character of a journalist on the web show, "Abhay 2".

"The show has instilled confidence in me and made me believe that I am not just meant for 'girl next door' roles. I felt great to explore a new territory. I will now try to do different kinds of roles in future projects. Initially, I was nervous. I had doubts whether I would be able to the role. But while working I realised nothing is impossible. I worked hard and gave my best," Asha shared.

Several episodes of the crime thriller "Abhay 2", which also features Kunal Kemmu and Ram Kapoor, were shot amid the pandemic. Asked how her experience was to shoot amid the new normal, Asha replied: "Honestly, I was paranoid. I was like, 'bahar nikle aur corona hojaega (if I ventured out, I might contract corona)'. But we followed strict safety precautions and shot successfully. It's the new normal and we are getting used to it."
