Family Man: How Dhriti did the MURDER scene

'After the shoot, I was like, "Yeh maine kiya hai?"'

- 

The innocence that is personified Tin Dhriti's character in The Family Man 2 echoes in Ashlesha Thakur, the 17-year-old actress who plays her. This is the first time I'm speaking to a journalist in a solo interview! she exclaims over the phone. Yet, the teenager handles the questions like a pro, spicing up her answers with interesting anecdotes. Ashlesha, who was only 14 when she starred in the first season of The Family Man, has been doing commercials since the age of eight. She has done over 50 ads now. She is thrilled with the response from the smash hit Web series, I relate to Dhriti to some extent. But she is very smart. I'm not like that.

How did your family and friends react to the second season?

So many people are messaging me, congratulating me. This is the first time I am getting so much love and appreciation for my work. It's very, very, overwhelming. My whole family was like, 'What have you done? This is so surprising, you are not our kid!'

You were a part of a gruesome murder scene. Take us through that.
