Lekha Prajapati has been doing different projects in films and TV and has slowly made her space in the industry through consistent work. The actress is known for her works in Fukrey 3, Class of 83, etc. Presently, she is working on a film down South. One of her most special moments came when she got a role in CID Season 2, a show she had grown up watching.
For Lekha, this wasn’t just another role. It was something deeply personal. Recalling the moment she first heard she had been selected as a CID officer, she admitted it felt almost unreal, especially because the show had been a constant part of her childhood viewing.
“CID is definitely one of the most iconic shows. I’ve been watching CID since I was a child. We’ve been hearing lines like ‘Daya, darwaza tod do’ and ‘Kuch toh gadbad hai’ since then. So, it was absolutely a surreal moment. My first reaction was like ‘Wow! I’ve gotten the part, and I’m playing a CID officer.’ For the very first time in my entire acting career, I was playing a cop. I had never played a cop before that. I was really happy, elated, and amazed. I was really excited to go on set and act with actors whom I’ve been watching onscreen since my childhood,” she said.
Sharing how the opportunity came to her, Lekha explained that there was no shortcut involved in her journey. Everything happened through proper auditions and screen tests.
“I honestly tested for the role. See, I come from an absolutely non-filmy background. Everything that I’ve cracked and done in my entire career has been through a proper process of casting, audition, look test, and then a trial shoot. So, that’s how this opportunity came my way. I’m really happy and elated that I was a part of CID,” she added.
For Lekha, the experience stands out as a proud moment in her career, especially because it allowed her to step into a world she had admired since childhood.
