Reshham Sahaani is a strong performer well beyond her age. The actress who made her debut with Faraaz opens up about her experience, and says, “You could say it happened naturally. No one from my family is an actor, or a part of the industry in any way. I was always one of the studious students who always came first in school and excelled in academics. Nobody ever thought I’d choose to become an actor”

The actress further added, “When I was about to graduate from college, I got an audition from Netflix. And I went for it. But I just couldn’t perform because I was so nervous. And then my dad pushed me to take up an acting workshop. He was like, “Why don’t you take a workshop and try because this is your thing?” And I went for it, and I realised that I’m enjoying this. So I was like, let’s do this and become an actor.”

Reshham continued, “On the first day of shooting, my first scene was with Zahaan and Palak. And I had not met either of them earlier. I was nervous when Hansal sir said “Action,” but I just entered the scene and began performing. And it was then I realised right in the middle of the scene that Zahaan was also getting very nervous. And seeing him so nervous just added on to my nervousness, you know (laughs). I was very nervous, we were all newcomers, it’s quite a normal, human reaction. But we all had a lot of fun and Hansal sir made sure to make us very comfortable. He was very sweet.”

On the work front, Reshham Sahaani made her Bollywood debut with Hansal Mehta’s Faraaz, starring Zahan Kapoor and Aditya Rawal.
