The Indian television industry is often seen as being dominated by actors from Mumbai, but Jaipur is proving its mettle with a fresh wave of talented artists. One prime example of this is the daily television show Doosri Maa, produced by Zee Studios Jaipur and directed by Imtiaz Punjabi for &TV. While the senior cast hails from Mumbai, the child actors—who form a crucial part of the storyline—have been sourced entirely from Jaipur, thanks to the efforts of casting director Kritesh Agarwal and his acting institute, Act to Action Acting School.

Act to Action’s Role in Shaping Young Talent
Kritesh Agarwal, an experienced casting director and the founder of Act to Action Acting School, saw an opportunity to showcase Jaipur’s acting talent on a national platform. Recognizing the immense potential among local aspiring actors, he ensured that young talents from his school auditioned for key roles in Doosri Maa. His belief in their abilities was validated when several of his students were cast in lead roles.

Media Recognition & Industry Appreciation
The five-year journey of Act-to-Action has caught the attention of media and industry experts, who recognize the institute’s pure intent—to serve the children, the nation, and the future of India. With an unstoppable passion for growth, Act-to-Action has become a movement that is reshaping acting training in Rajasthan.
The show revolves around the emotional journey of Yashoda, a mother raising two daughters and a son. The pivotal roles of her daughters were bagged by Aadvika Sharma and Aanya Galav, while Bhavya Nandiwal was selected for the role of her son. In addition, Pranay Malpani, Yatharth Jain, Ved Sharma, Avni Sharma, and Sanvi Dargani were chosen for various significant roles, making Jaipur’s young talent an integral part of the show.
A Proud Moment for Jaipur’s Acting Community

This achievement is not just a milestone for Act to Action Acting School but also a testament to Jaipur’s growing presence in the television industry. Despite the industry’s heavy reliance on Mumbai-based actors, these young Jaipur-based artists proved their skills and seamlessly performed alongside seasoned professionals from Mumbai.
Their performances were widely appreciated by audiences and media platforms alike, highlighting the exceptional training provided by Act to Action. The school has played a crucial role in nurturing raw talent and transforming them into confident performers ready for the big stage.
Opening New Doors for Local Talent
The success of Doosri Maa is a shining example of how regional acting schools can contribute to mainstream entertainment. With a strong foundation in acting techniques, confidence-building, and on-screen presence, Act to Action has paved the way for more Jaipur-based actors to break into the television and film industry.

As the entertainment landscape continues to evolve, this success story reinforces the importance of investing in local talent. Jaipur is no longer just a cultural hub—it’s fast becoming a breeding ground for the next generation of television and film actors. Thanks to Act to Action and visionaries like Kritesh Agarwal, young aspiring actors in Jaipur now have a real shot at national recognition.

This is just the beginning—Jaipur’s acting scene is on the rise, and the future looks incredibly bright!
