Mumbai, May 28
Television actress Asha Negi opened up about her initial hesitation in taking up the project, ‘Criminal Justice 4.’
In a candid conversation, the actress admitted she was unsure at first, but a deeper understanding of the script and her character eventually won her over. Negi revealed that she initially had reservations about taking up 'Criminal Justice 4' due to the limited screen time her role offered. Asha admitted that she was unsure if the character would make a lasting impact or simply fade into the background.
Asha Negi told, “Yes, I was a bit skeptical at first because of the limited screen time. I wondered if the character would fade away—what then? But once I read the screenplay and received the character briefing, I realized that although the screen time was less, the role itself had a lot to offer. It was a performance-oriented character. I understood that it's not always about screen time—if the character is strong, that’s enough for me. So, I went ahead with it.”
Asha admitted that it did take a toll on her. She shared that being part of such a gritty, layered narrative required her to stay mentally invested in the character’s emotional journey, even off camera. “It was definitely emotionally and physically draining, but I had a lot of fun. Working with talented directors and actors now gives me a lot of creative satisfaction. So yes, Criminal Justice was a fulfilling experience.”
