Mumbai, March 1 – Actress Karishma Tanna was honored for her performance in Hansal Mehta's "Scoop" at the Busan International Film Festival, and she decided to reflect on her acting journey, which began on television and involved overcoming several doubts before moving on to reality shows, movies, and web series.
She added that "Scoop" was a reminder that if one doesn't give up on their dreams, their moment will eventually come.
Karishma's emotional message on social media read: "From television sets…To reality shows…To being boxed in…To being doubted…To standing at the Busan International Film Festival for Scoop. There's something beautiful about not giving up on yourself. About choosing growth over comfort. About waiting for the role that changes your narrative. 'Scoop' wasn't just a project. It was a turning point. It was a reminder that if you stay long enough, work hard enough, and evolve honestly enough… your moment will come. And when it does – it feels like home. Thank you for watching, supporting, and believing!"
Karishma took a moment to reflect on the young woman who patiently waited for her turn and never lost faith in herself.
She pointed out that some journeys take time because they are building towards something concrete.
The actress, who starred in "Sanju," added, "Standing at the Busan International Film Festival, holding this moment in my heart, I remembered the young woman who started early… who wanted independence, who waited, who heard "TV ACTOR" more than once… and still didn't stop believing. This journey wasn't overnight. It was years in the making. Grateful. Humbled. Proud. Some journeys are slow… because they're building something permanent. I always believe – This is just the beginning... If you haven't watched my show, please watch it on @netflix_in."
Directed by Hansal Mehta, "Scoop" is a cinematic adaptation of journalist Jigna Vora's bestseller, "Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Prison".
With Karishma as the lead, the show also features Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Harman Baweja, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Tannishtha Chatterjee, and Deven Bhojani, among others.
