23th April 2023, Mumbai: During an interview, Erica Fernandes, known for her role in the TV show Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, shared insights about her decision to take a break from television and her subsequent return. Erica expressed that she felt stagnant and had hit a wall in her growth as an actor, which led her to take a break.
In her interview, the actress explained the reason behind her decision to take a hiatus from TV, stating that she felt trapped and lacked progress in her career. According to Erica, being part of successful shows did not define her growth as an artist. Despite doing good work, she felt that she was not getting any opportunities to portray challenging roles, which prompted her to take a break and wait for new opportunities. She further added that despite everything being perfect, she became tired of doing the same kind of work repeatedly and craved something different. Eventually, she found that change in a short film.
When discussing her comeback to television, Erica expressed that she did not intend to take a break deliberately. She mentioned that she would consider returning to the small screen if she received an opportunity to portray a character that differed from the ones she played in her previous shows, KZK 2 and KRPKAB. Furthermore, she emphasised that a good role does not necessarily require a glamorous appearance on-screen, and she is open to changing her look if necessary. According to Erica, the audience focuses on the character’s significance rather than the actor’s appearance
Having earned significant acclaim from her roles in Kasauti Zindagii Kay and Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, Erica Fernandes subsequently decided to take a substantial hiatus from television and relocate to Dubai.
