There is a reason why my mom was ready to give up all of her life for a man so interesting like my dad Himalay Dassani: Bhagyashree’s daughter Avantika Dassani

Avantika Dasani, daughter of popular yesteryear actress Bhagyashree, was in Lucknow recently.

Avantika, who made her OTT debut this year, talked about her relationship with her mother and how she plans to make her mark in the industry.

Calling herself an ‘OTT Baby, she says, “I am very excited to see where the web space takes me as on the web today, characters that we see, are not all goody two shoes. OTT gives you a lot more than what commercial cinema currently has. There is room being made for everyone and yes, I am very excited about that. The kind of stories, the character, the engagement, that is something that is really exciting. Also, it is a platform where there are different types of people, there isn’t any age barrier, look barrier or anything to be an OTT star. You have to be good at what you do as an actor. Take for example Raveena (Tandon) and Shushmita (Sen) ma’am, who are doing awesome stuff on the OTT.”

Avatika’s mom Bhagyashree got married at a very early age. Now when we look back in time, we wonder what Avantika has to say about her mom’s decision. “Well, there is a reason why my mom was ready to give up all of her life for a man so interesting like my dad Himalay Dassani. Also, when my mom got married that time was really different than what it is today. The kind of opportunities that I have got is very different from what my mom got. For example, I went to London to study for three years, while my mom didn’t. Today, my mom is a certified nutritionist and has had a successful business and has also done different things in life. So things are really different today,” she says.
