Athlete turned Actor: Kundali Bhagya actress Adrija Roy was a National Level Sprinter

Zee TV’s popular fiction drama, Kundali Bhagya, has been entertaining audiences with interesting twists and turns in the lives of Preeta (Shraddha Arya), Karan (Shakti Anand), Rajveer (Paras Kalnawat), Palki (Adrija Roy) and Shaurya (Baseer Ali). It turns out Adrija Roy, who recently joined the show as Palki, is a surprise package! What sets her narrative apart, is not just her promising portrayal of the character, but the manner in which the actress found her calling. Adrija wasn’t always destined for the glitz and glamour of the acting world. She was a dedicated athlete following her parents’ dreams of making a mark in the sports arena.

Adrija Roy said, “My parents wanted me to become an athlete, in fact, I have played at the national level in West Bengal and received medals in sprinting. During my college days, after participating in the annual function and theatre, I realized that I wanted to try making my career in acting. I believe that was the turning point in my life. Being part of these fests, I fathomed that acting is something I enjoy, which led to, me giving various auditions. Eventually, the hobby turned into a passion, and my hard work paid off. My parents weren’t happy at first, but eventually, they accepted my decision. Life has its own way of leading us to where we belong. It was initially difficult to move to Mumbai from Kolkata, but all’s well that ends well.”

She further added, “For me to become an athlete, was something that my parents always wanted me to do. But now they are thrilled to see me as an actor and play the beautiful role of Palki in Kundali Bhagya. It is a stepping stone for me to turn my dreams into reality and I am really happy how my journey is panning out.”
