MUMBAI: Actor Akansha Ranjan Kapoor made her acting debut in 2022 with Dharmatic Entertainment’s film Guilty, co-starring Kiara Advani and Gurfateh Pirzada. The film received an overwhelming response from audiences and critics alike, earning praise for its sensitive portrayal of a complex subject. Akansha’s portrayal of Tanu Kumar, a rebellious girl from Dhanbad, Jharkhand, was a stark departure from her real-life personality, yet she impressed everyone with her authenticity—especially nailing the dialect with precision.
Her debut performance was so impactful that it earned her several prestigious award nominations and accolades, solidifying her presence in the industry.
Reflecting on five years of Guilty, Akansha shared:
"Honestly, Guilty is the best thing that happened to me. It changed so much for me. Even today, I get work based on my performance in that film. The energy on set was unmatched—something I’ve never felt on any other project of mine because, for so many of us, it was our first! Everyone gave it their all, and I’m so happy it paid off."
She further recalled the camaraderie on set, saying,
"It honestly felt like a school trip. Everyone was so connected yet unattached to the results or anything outside of the set. We just wanted to do our best and have a great time—which, in my opinion, is the best way to make a movie."
Beyond Guilty, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor has also been seen in Ray and Monica, O My Darling. Up next, she is set to headline Gram Chikitsalaya, an upcoming Amazon Prime Video series, where she plays the leading role.
