My First International Film Love Sonia Will Be Released Next Year

Throw some light on your journey from Marathi television artiste to Hindi film actor?

I used to participate in intercollegiate and state level drama competitions. I was honoured with the best actress award for my performance in the drama and was offered a Marathi television serial. In my career graph my work generated more work for me and that’s how I got into films too. My first break in Hindi film was ‘Black and White’ directed by Subhash Ghai. This journey has been a great learning experience and has enhanced as an actor as well as a human being.

Your experience about television industry

When a person works in the television industry becomes popular in a very short span of time. Working with a bunch of co-actors for a year or two, eventually that bunch becomes your family. When I was doing a television serial, I was recognized in every single corner of Maharashtra because this industry has bigger reach than cinema. It was a wonderful experience.

What inspired you to join this profession?

In my college days, I performed my first play. I realized this field demanded complete focus and determination and I continued acting in plays and gradually I started getting serious about turning this hobby into my profession.

What was your first break and how it happened?

My first appearance on television screen was through ‘Style Check on MTV’ show hosted by Malaika Arora Khan.
