In a lively talk with Ashok Kumar of Expressindia.com Sharbani tells how Border was the best thing that happened to her.
Let’s talk about your first ever role which you played in your debut film Border. You played Bhairon Singh's wife in Border. How easy or difficult was it for you to get under the skin of a typical Rajasthani woman?
You don’t have to be from Rajasthan play a Rajasthani woman. ‘Border’ being my first film and working with JP Dutta, it was very prestigious project for me.
What place does Border has in your life?
I hold it most special to me. First of all it gave me a very good platform to the start of my career in films. It changed me in many ways.
Being the cousin of Rani and Kajol do you feel bothered by the expectations from your film career?
I come from the family of filmmakers. These relationships do not get into my ways in any manner. If you have pressure you just can’t work in this business. I just feel proud of them (Rani and Kajol).
Down some years, what type of actor would you like to be known as?
I would like to be known as an artist who was open to play versatile roles.
If not in films what is that alternate field where you would possibly be?
I can’t think beyond films. But I am involved with other things too, like dancing. I am a dancer and have performed a dance show called Radhika.
What type of roles you hate to play?
(Smiles) Nothing (no such roles) is crossing my mind as of now.
How was it working for Mazhar Kamran’s directorial debut Mohandas?
It was a fantastic experience working with him. Mazhar is in no way a debutante. He knows his craft very well. He gives full freedoms to the actor to prove the potential. Our wavelength matched very well.
How was it working with Suneil Shetty in your debut role for Border? Did his presence help you in getting the desired attention onscreen?
Working with Suneil was very helpful. JP Dutta is very strict about the ‘details’ of the characters of his film and I was blanked out before the camera while shooting for Border. Suneil made the atmosphere very friendly.
Any dream role which you would just love to play in future?
I would like to play split-personality some day because this kind of role is very challenging.
