The transition from traditional acting to voice work presented unique challenges for Dayama. "It's definitely different," she explains. While traditional acting involves physical expression, voice acting relies solely on vocal delivery. "Your energies have to be very on point because you can't show your physical body. It's a more nuanced and specific process." This shift demands precision, showcasing her adaptability as an artist.

This serendipitous start led to significant opportunities, including working alongside industry veterans. Dayama's experience working with the legendary Shefali Shah in Delhi Crime was a turning point in her career. "She's an entity," Dayama says of Shah. "But at the same time, she's so warm and loving."
Balancing Success and Expectations
With the upcoming Delhi Crime Season 3, Dayama feels the weight of expectations. "I don't think the pressure is on me as such," she clarifies, noting that the real pressure lies with the writers and producers. Yet, she remains committed to her growth. "Even if it's worked, I know I can do better. I always aim to bring more honesty and depth to my roles."

Dayama's influence extends beyond her performances. Her response to recent events, such as the Kolkata rape case and the Hema Committee Report, showcases her deep understanding of women's safety issues. While she finds it challenging to discuss such sensitive topics publicly, she emphasises the need to address the underlying problems. "It's always been such a personal thing because when anything like this happens, it's a whole gender that's being targeted," she states, highlighting the collective impact of violence against women.
Advocating for incremental change, Dayama recognises that significant progress takes time. Her call for "another step and another step in the right direction" reflects her hopeful outlook. By emphasising the "bare minimum," she underscores the urgent need for basic measures to protect women's safety. "We just want the bare minimum," she asserts, aligning her stance with the growing movement for gender equality and justice.
