In conversation with the leading lady Disha:
Q.1: You wanted to be a pilot, before being in front of camera mesmerized you? What made you pursue acting as your career?
I took up modelling while I was studying and started auditioning for Films/commercials that’s when I realized that this is what I want to take up as a career.
Q.2: How was the support from your family of getting into the glam industry?
I had full support of my family in every facet of life and I thank them for it.
Q.3: You bagged an international film with Jackie Chan landing a lead role. How important and challenging was it for you?
Yes, It was important because it was with ‘The Jackie Chan’. But he’s such a humble man and it was an absolute honor working with him.
Q.4: Who do you look up as your role model? What motivated you the most in your journey so far?
I think Jackie Chan is the most interesting person I’ve ever come across. He’s so humble and hardworking. He’s told me that he hasn’t gone on a vacation in his life because he’s been working 365 days a year. He’s an inspiration in so many ways.
Q.5: How do you look back on the last few whirlwind years in your career? Tell us something about your dream role?
Yes, I feel very fortunate to be here. I didn’t know anything or anybody when I started. Things have changed since then. It’s getting better day by day and I’m enjoying it. As far as roles are concerned I would like to take up challenging roles that will help me grow as an actor.
Q.6: MS Dhoni: The Untold Story was a big hit. Did you expect of such a huge success?Reconnect your most memorable experience with it.
Honestly speaking I did expect it to be a hit. Neeraj Sir has beautifully displayed the difficulties MS Dhoni sir has been through to become the legend he is today. We all collectively worked very hard on the film. Also, the massive fan following of MS sir. So, it had to do well! Working into this movie was one of the memorable experiences.
