Tara Sutaria last worked with Ahan Shetty, Suniel Shetty’s son in the movie Tadap, and earlier worked in Student of the year 2 along with Tiger Shroff and Ananya Panday. And while the actress has marked an eminent footnote in the country working with the top known star kids from Bollywood, here’s what she said about her experience.
She said, “No one talks to me about any sort of differences. Most of my films are with star kids from earlier generation actors only. It’s not right to keep tagging them as star kids; I feel doing so is really very unfair. None of these actors I have worked with ever made me feel like an outsider. We are all performers, and by the end of the day, the performance matters to all of us.”
She further added saying, “Rahman sir, yes, the first time I met him, I was performing a concert in NCPA when I was just 13 years old. I had forgotten about it, but it was so humbling that he remembered me when we met recently. I felt good,”
She further explains that she has worked in the theatre before, saying, “When you are on the stage from a young age, you understand aap hai kaun? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime feeling which gives you a lot of strength to be able to do a film. Theatre art form is different but acting toh acting hi hai. If you have been working on stage, it helps you gain confidence. Since the time I was young, I have known people working in theatre. I, too, have worked in theatre, and I feel and know theatre performance is a real craft and is special to me,”
The actress further stated about her dream come true moment, saying, “I grew up not wanting to be an actress. I wanted to sing all my life. That was the trajectory, but I was always supported by my parents. They helped me prepare anything I wanted to do with art. Ours is an artistically inclined family. I started acting when I met Karan (Johar), and he signed me for Student Of The Year 2.”
Speaking of Bollywood and rejections, she said, “Rejections would make me feel sensitive about not being taken. But honestly speaking, earlier, if someone felt I was not suitable for the role, I would sit and think about where was I lacking for this decision to be made. I also felt something unfair has happened to me. I don’t always ask questions. Rejection isn’t easy for anybody, but you have to be honest, is it my problem or that person’s problem, or you understand that someone else can do better and shine better than I can in this,” as quoted by Free Press Journal.
