Actress Raushni Srivastava: Navigating challenges and pursuing passion

Actress Raushni Srivastava's journey in showbiz is not just a pursuit of fame and success; it's a heartfelt dedication to her late beloved father, SK Srivastava. Since his passing in December 2020, Raushni feels his presence as a guardian angel, guiding her through her endeavors in the entertainment industry. Her father's unwavering support and encouragement fuelled her passion for acting. Fond memories of him cherishing her roles in regional language Rajasthani film "Aulaad" and shorts such as "The Long Drive" and "Mr. & Mrs. Charlie" continue to inspire her.

Raushni has received accolades from international festivals for her performances in a leading actress category for “The Long Drive” directed by Ravie Ravan Kathuria, “Mr. & Mrs. Charlie” directed by Amar Jeet and “My Mom” directed by Abhishek Kumar Singh. 

Raushni's talent transcends acting; she recently ventured into singing, making a remarkable debut in music videos like "Love The Mystery" and "Don’t Don’t". The latter, directed by Abhishek Kumar Singh, received accolades at esteemed festivals, including the London Music Video Festival and the Global Music Video Awards. 

Known for her roles in TV shows like "Raghukul Reet Sada Chali Aayi", "Zindagi ke Rang," and “Koi toh hai ardhnarishwar” Raushni's versatility shines through. Her latest Short Feature, "Tyypes of Love," where she not only acts but also debuts as a writer, holds a special place in her heart. She is immensely grateful to her friends for supporting her vision. 

Raushni is grateful to her mom for supporting her. Being an outsider and striving to make her place is not a cakewalk, but her resilience is worth applause. 

She says, “It’s not an easy journey; only a stubborn heart can be an artist.” Raushni remains grounded, acknowledging the support of friends, directors, and the Universe. 

Actress Raushni Srivastava says, “Industry is not an easy place. For outsiders, it’s quite difficult to crack. My special ode is for those who helped me live my dream. I’m indebted to all the people who gave me work. I’m thankful to my directors, Siddharth Nagar Sir for giving my debut acting chance in his serial ‘Raghukul ki reet sada chali aaye’, Mohan Singh Rathod Sir for giving me the lead in the regional language Rajasthani film “Aulad”, Ravie Ravan Kathuria Sir for giving me the best shorts, ‘The Long drive’, ‘Coffee & Secrets’ and short feature, ‘Is it a Murder? The murder of a Journalist’, Vinay Tiwari Sir, for recommending my name for anchor in the show “Night Out”, Amar Jeet for giving me a chance in short, “Mr. & Mrs. Charlie”, a finalist at Filmfare awards, Shailendra Singh Sir, who believed in me when I was facing financial difficulties, and gave me other opportunities. I'm thankful to Ketan Anand Sir, who always gave me the best advice. Also, Vivek Singhania Sir who was there in my tough times when I lost my dad."

Recently honored at the Golden Book Awards for her book "My Heart Out," Raushni's recognition on her father's birthday adds a special touch to her journey. With each endeavor, she honors her father's memory, continuing to shine bright in the world of entertainment.

Raushni’s upcoming ventures include “Kalika” on mental abuse. The film “Kalika” highlights verbal/emotional abuse and its impact on victims. The invisible scars left by mental abuse affect one's mental health. The film shows how the narcissist manipulates, portraying himself as the victim to always get things done to his advantage. 

Raushni Srivastava, Raja Guru, and Saarrh Kkashyap came together for this venture as a way to spread awareness about mental abuse. The awe-striking background score is being composed by Afsar. 

The film is slated to release soon. 

Actress Raushni Srivastava had to put on 9 kg to play the role of Mary Jose in Dhiraj Singh’s upcoming film, “Main Aaungee Hawa Banke.” She is grateful to the director Dhiraj Singh for giving her the opportunity to portray Mary Jose in his upcoming film, “Main aaungee Hawa Banke.” The film stars Raushni and Suresh Keshav in the lead. The background score is being composed by very talented Nitish Pires. 

Talking about her experience, she says: “The experience is a culmination of many memories, laughter, and tears and a variety of emotions that will remain with me forever. He used to be really strict sometimes, and I used to be fearful inside. And, sometimes he used to be playful. I followed my heart and now I leave everything to my director. I would be grateful to the Universe if my film finds its audience.” 

Actress Raushni Srivastava concludes by saying, “Success is a transient thing, and it comes by grace, not logistics. If success comes, then celebrate it. If failure comes, then celebrate your efforts.”
