'I KEPT THINKING I WOULD GET FIRED

Though Shreya Dhanwanthary began her acting career with films. it was the success of Web shows like Scam: 1992. The Family Man and Mumbai Diaries that enhanced her reputation as an actor to watch out for.

- 

Shreya currently features in R Balki's film Chup: Revenge of the Artist.Shreya had no showbiz connections before joining the industry and is enjoying every part of her journey."My mom has a folder where she has cut and pasted anything and everything that has been written about me. whether it's a troll comment or a compliment. If my name is there, it has to be there in her folder," How does it feel to be a part of an R Balki film with such well-known actors like Sunny Deol, Pooja Bhatt and Dulquer Salmaan? | really enjoy being a part of such films because I have loved films ever since I can remember. I still can't come to terms with the fact that I am starring in a film that has such a stellar cast and my name is mentioned alongside theirs.l am glad I got a place for my long name (laughs).

These are the people I have grown up watching.

Working in the film industry was a dream for me, and that was my little secret.

kept it private because I never believed it enough for it to happen. And now that this is happening, I am very happy.

How do you deal with criticism of your work?

 Even when someone says something bad about me, I am like, 'Hey, it's there! My first negative comment is there! This is so funny and I shouldn't be saying this, but let me tell you anyway.

My mom has a folder where she has cut and pasted anything and everything that has been written about me, whether it's a troll

comment or a compliment. If my name is there, it has to be there in her folder.

Why? Because we all dreamed of films together and we are still having to come to terms with the fact that it has happened.

Because there are so many people who dream of being an actor, but they never get that chance.

I know that I am not extra talented.
