Speaking about ‘favouritism’ and ‘opportunism’ in the film industry, the actress said that it was difficult for outsiders to get opportunities in the film industry. However, she also said that she felt lucky to get her Bollywood debut in the film The Body. She added that she felt that if she rejected the opportunity, she would have to wait for a long period of time in order to get another film.

However, Vedhika also said that she was not in a place to decide who to cast in a film. Vedhika felt that the success of outsiders was neglected in the film industry and that it was unfair to minimalize the success of outsiders. The actress felt that it was necessary to celebrate those who achieve success due to their own calibre. She believes that it is necessary to acknowledge good performers irrespective of their success at the box office.
