Shikha Talsania, the Veere Di Wedding actress has recently opened up about how the Hindi film industry has treated her, while she comes from the theatre background, and how she feels to be in the industry being an established theatre actress.
Talking to IANS the Veere Di Wedding actress said, “I would say Hindi cinema has given me more than what I expected, really. See, I am an actress, and nothing is more exciting for me than acting. Of course, when it comes to the stage, I have a sense of belonging there but acting on-screen is different than that of live performance. And there is a power and entertaining factor in cinema. There is no comparison.”
She added, “As an artiste, I look for and grab every opportunity to perform in every avenue given. Also, during the pandemic, when there was no stage show, no rehearsals, theatre actors especially are going through a different level of crisis, we also saw how through art and entertainment, we managed to remain hopeful. So many films and web series have been released on OTT. Under a crisis, if a film, a show, even for one moment sparks hope in the minds of those who are in darkness, I think we as artistes and humanists win.” as quoted by Koi Moi.
