Actor Avika Gor, best known for her breakout role in Balika Vadhu, recently opened up about her career trajectory and the evolving expectations from her at the Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit and Awards 2025. During a panel discussion, she addressed whether actors today have ample opportunities or face limited options.
Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit and Awards 2025: Avika Gor reflects on her journey and acting opportunities; says, “I did not take anything for granted”
“I have been very, very lucky,” Avika said. “My career started with Balika Vadhu. The audience put me in a place where I could grow into the actor I am today. Every project since then — even films like 1920, which I hadn’t expected — added to that journey.”
Avika emphasized that she feels deeply grateful for her career, which she’s built without any formal training or film industry background. “When I see myself doing characters that really satisfy me, and also I get the validation from the audience that I can actually do a good job without any training, without any background, without any support of our father. It just makes me feel very proud and lucky at the same time. Of course, I also go through that because, again, my image of handling films that are people who need it will never go off.”
She also touched on the expectations that now come with her roles. “And because of that, it becomes a big responsibility to make sure that the film that you are a part of become success. And, you know, in that kind of a process, I really believe that my audiences have been very comfortable. They really adore and love the idea of watching me on screen, be it OTT or television. So yes, I have been lucky, and I’m aware of that. I did not take that for granted.”
Reflecting on the pressures of her public image, Avika admitted it can be challenging. “The image I carry, of doing films that matter, never goes away. That adds responsibility to make each project a success.”
With a grounded sense of purpose and a loyal fan base, Avika continues to embrace meaningful roles — proving that talent, when met with hard work and humility, can carve a lasting legacy.
