Anshul blatantly addressed the challenges of being an outsider in the industry and the influence of nepotism. “Jinke connections nahi hote hain aur jo clueless ho kar ghumte hain, vo phase…mentally it’s not a happy space to be in. Aapke sath jin hone journey start kari hai vo bhi aapse shayad aage nikal jaye toh aapko next level patience rakhna parta ha aur vishwas karna parta ha khud main.” (People who lack connections and find themselves wandering clueless may often confront challenging phases filled with anxiety about their future, You have to be very patient and head-strong during the time, even if your peers who began their journey with you may progress in their respective fields. )

Even living in Mumbai for 8 years, Anshul revealed she still hasn’t found the right opportunity, she’s been looking for, “There was an incident in 2018, I got a very big project but I couldn’t get it because they asked who is Anshul Chauhan, They said I was nobody as I haven’t done any big projects.” She addressed how she was stereotyped as a side-actress and called “How can she play a main character, because she has only done side roles.” Anshul is quite vocal about how along with lead actors, supporting actors should be given importance in the industry.

On the professional front, Anshul is also recognised for her brief roles in Zero (2018), Shubh Mangal Savdhan (2017) and web show Soulmates (2018)
