The Star ng Line

I never thought I could be an actor. I was a good
student, so my family thought I’d be a doctor or an
engineer. Plus, I was a super shy person. Having said
this, I did look to movies as an escape—whether I was
upset or in a good mood, a film was my go-to pas me
for relaxa on. Be it Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, or
Malayalam cinema, I would relate with the
characters on screen. At mes, I felt I’m so much like
Geet from Jab We Met! It’s also surreal for me to act
alongside so many people I literally grew up
watching. I started by ac ng in a couple of shows on
television. And then, gradually, my parents
encouraged me to act in Marathi movies… and then, I
never stopped dreaming!
