In spite of my parents being actors, I never took acting as a profession for granted and still don't.
I have always had a performers instinct since I was a child.
Obviously, there are advantages when your parents and you share the same profession. I can always go to them for advice but my struggle and hard work will always be mine.
Since I am a big foodie, trying out different places to eat is the most exciting part of my travels.
Not too many people know that I sing.
It's always fun when you pick up a skill for a particular character.
Every element contributes to building a character and I'm especially fascinated when it comes to recreating period looks.
A lot of people can relate to the feeling of JOMO - Joy of Missing Out.
I know how it feels to be helpless and it is the biggest fear one can experience.
I feel, we actors are out there a lot, and people are hell bent on trying to create perceptions of our lives. We tend to influence people through our lifestyles or mannerisms. It is important that we be honest about our emotions.
When I do web shows, I want to do something that is good and different.
Because I am the daughter of Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar, people have expectations fixed on me as I gear up to carry the family legacy.
For me, it has always been a dream to 'travel to work' and 'work to travel.'
Though the contemporary shows are good, I prefer sitcoms like my father's.
I would want to create something new instead of following others.
If I come across a good project, I will surely take it up.
The love and respect that my parents have gained through their body of work is unmatchable. My goal is not to surpass their stardom or anybody's stardom for that matter, but to create an identity of my own.
People think that I'm not interested in doing Marathi films, but that's not true. Marathi cinema is very close to my heart.
I am extremely fortunate to have such talented people as my parents. I will always turn to them for advice. But I am my own person and have my independent views.
Some basic things I have picked up from Dad is how to interpret my character correctly, use the camera to my advantage and how not to hurry up with work.
