“Raazi pulled me out of a dark phase”- Amruta Khanvilkar reveals why the Alia Bhatt starrer was a life-changing filmOpening up about the casting and her mental state at the time, Amruta said, “Raazi was a very shocking casting for me. I wasn’t in a very good space at that time, professionally and personally. I had started doubting myself, doubting my choices, and everything, and Raazi just came along and pulled me out of so many things.”

She further shared how the film helped restore her confidence and gave her the strength to move forward. “That film gave me confidence, which I needed back then to keep going. It was like a whiff of fresh air, and it boosted me. Some bigger things are working out for you at times, and that was very godsent for me. It really pulled me up in my life.”

Amruta also spoke about her clear approach to choosing roles and why she has always been selective with her work. Explaining her mindset, she said, “I’ve been selective with the kind of projects or roles I play. When people know that she won’t choose something random, they don’t come up with random stuff or roles that make no sense.”

For the actor, the impact of a role matters far more than its duration. “The length of the role or the number of scenes don’t matter to me. Even if I have one scene to play, my only focus is, ‘is it impactful?’ Is it going to make an impact on the audience or the story?”

She added that being selective has never led to regret. “While everyone knows that I’m selective with roles, it doesn’t mean that I regret saying no to roles that I couldn’t play. They weren’t meant for me.”

Amruta Khanvilkar recently received widespread appreciation from audiences for Emraan Hashmi-starrer Taskaree, followed by the release of Space Gen: Chandrayan which is currently streaming on JioHotstar. As she continues to choose roles driven by substance rather than scale, the actor’s journey underscores how the right project at the right time can redefine both career and confidence.
