Srishti Dixit Confesses Feeling Threatened by Competition: From Content Creation to Acting, Back to Square One

Even before the term 'content creator' became mainstream, Srishti Dixit had already mastered the art, captivating audiences one video at a time. From embodying the iconic 'Poo' from the movie K3G to participating as a 'Bigg Boss contestant,' her entertaining videos quickly propelled her to fame in the realm of social media. Having achieved tremendous success on the internet, Srishti now sets her sights on a full-fledged acting career, actively engaging in auditions. Recently, she showcased her talent as a science teacher in Amazon miniTV's series, Staff Room, marking yet another milestone in her blossoming acting journey.

In an interview with indianexpress.com, Srishti revealed that her passion for acting has been ingrained in her since she understood the concept of having a career. Fondly reminiscing a heart warming incident from her third-grade days, she shared, "During an assignment to write a Hindi essay on our aspirations, I expressed my desire to become an 'abhinetri' (actress) and give people my 'hastakshar' (autograph), not even knowing the Hindi word for autographs.

Reflecting on her remarkable journey, Srishti Dixit revealed that she arrived in Mumbai after completing her graduation to pursue a one-year course in journalism. As a young aspiring adult, her initial plan was to secure a job as a reporter while also fulfilling her passion for acting by joining a theatre group. However, fate had something unexpected in store for her. 

"At that point, people had just started posting videos on Facebook, and as I was working with a publication, we decided to give it a try, and to our astonishment, it took off," Srishti fondly recalled. The unexpected success in the digital realm brought her immense joy as it provided her with a unique avenue to showcase her performing talents.

However, truth be told, I never envisioned my acting journey to extend beyond that point. I always believed that creating videos would be the limit of my acting endeavors. The idea of giving auditions for substantial roles or being a part of a fiction show seemed like a distant dream. I have always been grounded and aware of the presence of numerous highly skilled and professionally trained actors around me. 

Considering this, the notion of taking on longer format projects and immersing myself in diverse characters brings me immense joy and satisfaction. It is a gratifying experience to see my aspirations expand beyond what I initially thought was possible. As she steps into the world of acting, she faces the struggles and challenges that come with being a newcomer, determined to overcome them and grow as an artist.

I am actively putting myself out there, engaging with people, and this, in itself, presents another unique set of challenges. Pursuing my dream of acting has been a long-standing endeavour. There have been moments when I strongly believed I deserved certain opportunities, only to face rejection. However, I am determined to learn and grow from these experiences. Resilience is becoming a significant aspect of my journey as I bounce back from setbacks. Thankfully, I am incredibly privileged to have another job that I genuinely enjoy, and this provides some comfort during tougher times. It's a constant learning process, and I remain hopeful and committed to making my mark in the acting world.

In recent years, there has been an exponential surge in the number of influencers and content creators on social media platforms. In any industry, there will always be newcomers making their mark. For me, this influx occurred during the second wave of the pandemic when I was experiencing a bit of burnout and had taken a step back from active content creation. Suddenly, I noticed a surge of creators producing content that I would have typically done. At that time, I must admit, I felt a sense of threat. However, as time passed, I have matured and grown. I've come to understand that there will always be an audience who resonates with me and my stories. My relevance is not going to diminish anytime soon. The key is to remain authentic and true to myself in everything I do," Srishti concluded.
