Opening up about her dark days of struggle in the TV industry, Charu said, “There came a time in my career when there was a break of one year which was a very difficult phase. I would buy a small packet of Maggi which I would eat half in one day and keep the rest for the next day. I had survived on these instant noodles and there was not even enough money to buy proper make-up stuff. I had to manage by using garam masala for the cutting on my face but I did not give up and I used to even enjoy the process of auditions. My friends used to call me to parties but I did not go as my focus was very clear which is the reason I was in the city.”

The Mere Angne Mein actress further said, “I had to face a lot of rejections in the initial days. Every day I used to dress up and go to auditions but travel in local trains, and buses and then wait for auditions and by that time I would turn into a mess. I used to give walk-in auditions and if a show was not working I had to start from scratch. I used to be short-listed in my auditions but nothing was getting finalized. I never gave up on my passion to become an actress. I knew what I wanted to do despite living under difficult circumstances. I would do even small cameo roles but never sat idle.”

Opening up about her casting couch horror, Charu said, “I was very naive at that point and I met a producer from a known production house. He kept the contract in front of me and I could have bagged the opportunity but after what he said I fell sick for three days. I told him with folded hands I won’t do it and he said it is fine the girls waiting outside will do it. After that, I decided I would do only television and I signed Agle Janam. Television is very safe and Mere Angne changed my life. I am thankful to the producers.”
