Some Lesser Known Facts About Anjali Barot

• Anjali Barot is a young and dynamic Indian actor popular for her comical sketches for Scoopwhoop and Filtercopy.

• Anjali was seven years old when she decided that she wanted to be an actor, but according to her, she never shared this with anyone because she was not confident enough. In an interview, when she was asked about where she got this dream of becoming an actor, she said,
  

  I get it from my mother. She always harboured this dream of pursuing acting but she couldn’t really do much about it. Back in those days, it was a lot of factors such as resources, knowing the right people or simply even taking the plunge that was a challenging affair. But she always had this one dream of watching herself onscreen and among the many other things that I have her to thank for, this is one of them that I have imbibed from her. I was certain that I wanted to be an actor since a very young age and I couldn’t picture myself doing anything else.”

• After completing her Bachelors in Mass Media, she took up a job as an associate producer at Never Ending Story (a famous production house) so that she could be in the Entertainment Industry. In an interview, she said,
  

  So, I pursued my Mass Media studies and went on to work as an Associate Producer in an ad production house with the hope that I would get an acting gig someday. But eventually, I realized that that’s not how it works and you need to simply audition. So, I quit my job and thus began the vicious cycle of calls, auditions, some hits and some misses. Today, as I complete five years in the industry (as of 2020), I feel blessed to have had exposure across digital sketches, commercials, web series, short films and now, Sony Liv’s ‘Scam 1992’. I feel fortunate that I’m not only living my dream but my mother’s too.”
