Jennifer Winget has long been one of the most popular actresses in the entertainment industry, boasting a flourishing career. However, like many, she has faced her share of challenges and setbacks. Recently, in an interview, Jennifer revealed her experience of not landing a role despite auditioning for it.
In an interview, Jennifer Winget was asked about facing rejections for roles she felt confident about. She candidly shared, “Yes, I’d auditioned for The Night Manager. I didn’t get it (laughs). Aise bohot baar hua hai (This has happened several times).”
When asked specifically if she auditioned for the role played by Sobhita Dhulipala, Jennifer confirmed, “Yes.” She added, “I love the original show, and there was Aditya Roy Kapur in it. Yeh pehli baar nahi hua hai, pehle bhi bohot hua hai (This has not happened for the first time. It has happened quite a lot of times).”
Jennifer elaborated on her perspective towards rejections, “I started my career at a very young age, so I have seen rejections. If you want to play a character and if it doesn’t work out, you feel a bit sad, but life goes on and something better comes along. I truly and honestly believe in that. Every time that has not worked out for me, something even better has happened.”
She continued, “I really don’t look at it like a setback or a failure or anything. I just know that something better is coming, and it always has.”
The Night Manager, featuring Sobhita Dhulipala as Kaveri Dixit, is the role Jennifer had auditioned for. The show also stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Anil Kapoor, and Tillotama Shome, among others. It premiered on Hotstar on February 16, 2023.
Jennifer Winget’s latest project is a web show titled Raisinghani vs Raisinghani, which also features Karan Wahi and Reem Shaikh in lead roles.
