Bhagyashree's daughter Avantika Dassani accepts having 'access to industry people' but says she did not get work due to her mother

The daughter of famous actress Bhagyashree, Avantika Dassani, is all set to make her debut with Rohan Sippy's psychological thriller-drama series 'Mithya'. Recently, in a conversation with a news agency, Avantika confessed that she was able to get access to a few industry people because of her mother and brother Abhimanyu Dassani, who had made his debut with Vasan Bala’s 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota'. However, she revealed that getting access to industry people did not help her in getting work. She said, 'I do accept and acknowledge that there is a lot of love and respect for my mother and brother in the industry. And so, someone will have a cup of chai with me but I won’t get a movie or a show because you are so-and-so’s daughter or son, at least not for me. I still have to earn that. However, that access means a lot because you have millions of people today just trying to be seen. It’s the hard work that will make the director think I’m right for that part or not or the producer to see I’m worth his or her money.' Avantika also shared how her family understood her passion for acting and was supportive enough. She said, 'It wasn't something one fine day (I want to enter the film industry), it was something that had been coming out slowly. My parents kind of knew it, they saw it happening. But when it was the final decision, they wanted to sit me down and make me aware about everything -- what will happen and what can happen. But whatever I choose to do, I have to be a hard-working person, is what they told me.' Meanwhile, talking about her upcoming series, Mithya, it is a psychological thriller set in Darjeeling and navigates through the conflicted relationships between a Hindi literature professor Juhi, played by actress Huma Qureshi, and her student Rhea, which is essayed by Avantika Dassani.
