ALL EYES ON AHANA KUMRA

What has the journey been like for you? From your first ever project ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’, and now ‘Khuda Haafiz’?

Honestly, it has been a smooth ride. In my case, one project led to the other, so the journey has been pretty organic. Anyone who watched me on stage would hire me in a film or a series. I bagged Yudh, my first series opposite Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, because the maker of the show, Anurag Kashyap, watched me in a play directed by Naseeruddin Shah. There was no looking back thereafter. After Yudh, I did Lipstick Under My Burkha and a television series called Agent Raghav. My attitude on taking the risk, and not turning down work, irrespective of the money, character, length of the role, etc. has helped me get a lot of projects. There have been times when I was not too sure of the future of my character, but I took a leap of faith and it worked in my favour.

Was acting something you always had in mind or was there a turning point for you where you decided to become an actor?
