Actress Shafaq Naaz currently playing Kunti in serial Mahabharata is just 20 years old, we asked the actress was it an easy task to play the character that commands utmost maturity on screen?
“Believe me I just went and read the script. While shooting for the serial, never has this thought came to me that I am playing a character of mother of five son! I think that sense of maturity has always been there in me. Also feel acting is not age specific,it is how well you can justify the character.”
Talking about her foray in acting, the actress says it was not planned, “I used to take dance classes in Saroj Khan’s dancing institute when she saw me first. She really liked my expressions and told my parents ki isko Mumbai lekar aao yeh bahut aage jayegi. After finishing my twelfth exams I went to Mumbai and within 5 months I got the serial Bidaai . Otherwise I was aiming for doctor after giving twelfth exams” she says.
The actress says she wants to do a film after serial Mahabharata. “If I get a chance I would like to do a film after Mahabharata.” On being asked any actor that she dreams to work with? She says, “I would love to work with Ranbir. I had a serious crush on him after movie Saanwariyan that continued for 3-4 months. Par ab kuch aisa nahi hai” she clears.
