Many actors who transitioned from television to movies resent being labeled 'TV actors' since it frequently breeds bias among those in the movie business. Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, however, isn't afraid to embrace her television background.
Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia will play the lead alongside singer-actor Guru Randhawa in the Punjabi movie Shaunki Sardar, marking her move from television to the big screen. The actress, in an interview with Jagran English, emphasised that she has never hesitated to own her television background. She also opened up about stereotyping and boxing TV actors in the same conversation.
Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia said, "I am someone who has never shied away from the fact that jo maine kaha tha woh yeh tha ki log hume label kardeta hai you know. I will never shy away from admitting and I take a lot of pride kyunki television ne hi mujhe banaya."
Crediting her success to her debut TV show, Nimrat added, "Mujhe mera carrier ka pehla mauka Choti Sarrdaarni se mila hai aur vahin se mujhe pyaaar mila hai logon se sooo you know that is something that I would not disregard ever."

Nimrat Kaur Ahluwalia, who gained the spotlight with her time in Choti Sarrdaarni, stated people who label TV actors and want to limit them should stop. "Aap jo preconceived notion lekar ate hai ki television kar rahi hai toh isa kya pata, infact agar television actors ko dekhenga aap unhe script dijiye min me apke saare dialogues taiyaar honge kyunki aap paake pakai pahunchte hai set pe jab apne 800 se upar episode karlia hote hai toh technically aap kitne strong hote ho," she continued.

Nimrat mentioned that she felt glad that she did TV before her movies because she doesn't struggle technically. "Lens konsa laga hai, light kaise leni hai. I think that is something that needs to change so people need to stop judging and people need to give equal opportunities to every actor. An actor is an actor."
"What medium you are on should not matter which language you are working should not matter and that’s something that collectively we have to change as an industry," Nimrat Kaur Ahluwalia concluded.
