"Begum Jaan" actress Ridheema Tiwari says at some point, she was wary of doing films.
"I used to find Bollywood movies intimidating until I successfully did 'Begum Jaan'.
I used to think maybe I didn't have enough in me to be a part of films. I have always carried within me a belief in self and in my grounded hardworking roots.
However, I can say that my years on TV have taught me a lot, " she said.
"Set, make - up, hair styling dialogues and then my favourite word - - 'Action', have given me highs, loads of fame, love from fans across the globe, and also the times when I assessed and maybe even punished myself, times with 'what ifs', " she added.
Ridheema, who started her career with "Do Dil Ek Jaan", has done some well known TV shows.
"I wasn't even sure if I wanted to be an actor.
Directionless, purposeless and with no guidance or acting experience, most of my initial roles were in a trial and error mode.
I was fortunate to work with some phenomenally fabulous actors like Meghna Malik, Pratima Kannan, Nilu Kohli, Sooraj Thapar, Sudhir Pandey, Sadiya Siddiqui, Ragini Khanna, Supriya Pilgaonkar and Pankaj Kapoor, " she said.
"I worked hard and observed various artistes.
Those around me who were considered successful were clearly focused, dedicated and had patience.
