Samvedna is a trained Indian classical dancer and started performing on stage at the age of five. “I always loved stage and my inclination towards performing arts was quite obvious. But on my parents’ behest I completed my MBBS degree and then I couldn’t stop myself from taking up acting. So, I reached Mumbai for my internship and alongside joined theatre mainly under Lucknowite Salim Arif and Lubna Salim’s group. As I was looking for projects, I got a Gujarati film and that was followed by Hindi films and shows, eventually,” she says.

The young actor gladly shares that she was doing OTT when it had just started to flourish, “After films and TV, I wanted to explore web as well. The series Heartbreak Hotel gave that opportunity even before OTT became such huge medium. Soon Kaun… happened and that gave my career a 360 degree turn because I got to play a very interesting character of a loud yet a subtle cop.”

Covid lockdown has put her work on hold too. “My shoot for a few episodes of the season 2 of a series has stuck and they are to be shot followed by season 3. We are not among those stars who make big money in all seasons, at times many of us are paid daily, ‘Agar camera roll nai hua..’ that means no money. We all want work and shoots to resume fully,” she said.
