From FTII Graduate to OTT Star: Rasika Duggall’s Journey

Rasika Duggall’s story is one of perseverance and timing. A 2006 graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India, she spent a decade navigating an industry that offered intermittent roles. In a candid interview on Double Date, Duggall recounted early screen appearances in titles like "Kissa" and "Kshaya", which helped her hone her craft but failed to generate lasting buzz.

Everything changed in 2016 when streaming platforms exploded across the subcontinent. The actress began to feature regularly in high‑profile OTT projects, securing a place in series that garnered both national and global attention. This surge of visibility culminated in her casting for "Mirzapur: The Movie", a cinematic extension of the beloved web series that further cemented her reputation as an adaptable, on‑screen talent.
