Yogita said, ‘There was a call from Mukesh Chhabra Casting Company that some film is being made and the director wants an audition from you. He had already seen my audition and said that he wanted to meet you. I had a little idea on which topic the film was being made, but didn’t know that much then. You don’t understand until you read the script. Then I auditioned, they had to finalize me for Neema. I read the script, then I felt what film they are actually going to make.

‘I understand what happened to these girls man’

Yogita said, ‘When I read the script, it took me 10 minutes to understand what was happening. Then I understood what happened to these girls. That’s when I thought that I have to do the character of this girl. Very rarely do you get a chance in your career that you get to be a part of such projects. It is like you can do something for the society. If you can save 3 or 4 or even one to tell the story of these three girls, then I have played my part there. So it was very clear.

‘My family is very conservative and a bit orthodox’

He said, ‘I didn’t think… When you read such a story that this has happened to three girls, you will also want to tell that story. It was a very simple choice, I did not think of anyone else. Describing herself, Yogita said, ‘I am a resident of Delhi. I have done Computer Science Honors from Delhi University. My father wanted me to become an engineer and have a very good desk job. But I was never interested. I used to do theater when I was in college. But could not dream of becoming an actor. My family is very conservative and a bit orthodox and it was very difficult to dream like this.

‘My dream was to open my own restaurant’

She further said, ‘I was doing a job but my dream was to open my own restaurant. While doing the same job, I came to Mumbai and started working with an NGO there. Once I went to the wrong address for some work, where auditions were happening for an ad. He said can you give this audition, then I like to do these things if I have guts in life.

‘But could not even leave the job’

Yogita said, ‘I told him that yes I will. I did and after two days they told me that I got selected. I became very happy. I was happy because I got 15-17 thousand in a day, and I was 20-25 years old. Then I started getting calls too, but could not even leave the job because a stable life is also necessary. I used to think that I will become an actor, don’t know when the money will come or not. Got work in the first attempt, but I also knew that acting is not an art for me. Then I worked for some time and started thinking that if I grow old, then I should not regret that I used to get these offers, those offers used to come and I did not.

Dus Ka Dum Bada Ad with Salman Sir

‘The Kerala Story’ actress said, ‘I thought I will give myself 6 months and if I improve in that time, I will continue, else I will leave. I love stability. I have been standing on my feet since 16-17 years, I did not take money from my family members. I did a lot of work in those 6 months and then the big ad of Dus Ka Dum with Salman sir, then after that I was picked up by Ekta ma’am because it came on Sony TV. Sony TV liked my profile very much, so their 2-3 shows were coming. He said for all the three shows that we need this girl, tell me who will take it.
