Shefali Shah Says Playing Lead Roles Is Her Priority Right Now

"I바카라m glad that people are finally looking at me as a lead or a parallel lead. That바카라s what I want to keep doing,바카라 said Shefali Shah in a recent interview.

Bollywood actress Shefali Shah who has previously played characters of women much older than herself and appeared in ensemble cast films, now wants to play just protagonists.

According to a report by the Hindustan Times, Shah said, 바카라Playing the lead is my priority right now. Writers are writing stuff for me. Directors are working on projects thinking of me. I바카라ve waited for a very long time for this. I바카라m glad that people are finally looking at me as a lead or a parallel lead. That바카라s what I want to keep doing,바카라 she said.

When asked why she accepted a supporting role in the film 'Doctor G', the actress said,  바카라It was a commitment I made long ago. It바카라s a very sweet, sensitive and funny film, where I바카라ve just a guest appearance,바카라 Shah says, adding, 바카라Unless it바카라s an ensemble film like a Monsoon Wedding (2001) which had an incredible cast, story and characters, I don바카라t just want to be a part of a project just because it바카라s a big commercial film.바카라

With projects such as 'Delhi Crime,' 'Ajeeb Daastaans' (2021), and the recently released 'Jalsa,' the 48-year-old may have challenged the status quo by shattering preconceptions about ageism and sexism in Hindi cinema, but she admits that she never feels the burden of establishing new norms with each project she does.

바카라When I바카라m offered a script, there바카라s no analytical thought or calculation involved there. The first reaction comes from my gut and heart, and if it churns me inside out, I바카라ll do it,바카라 she shares.
