”Not Thinking About It” – Shubhangi Dutt on Her Debut and Box Office Clash With Saiyaara | Exclusive

This week saw three striking debutants take over the theatres. Ahaan Panday stepped into the world of showbiz with Saiyaara and Aneet Padda, who impressed in the show Big Girls Don’t Cry made her theatrical debut with the Mohit Suri directorial as well. Another actress who debuted in films is Shubhangi Dutt, the lead of Anupam Kher’s Tanvi the Great. Both films were released on July 18. Right before the release, Filmfare caught up with her for a candid chat where she shared her excitement of being a part of Kher’s film.

When asked whether she is concerned about the box office clash and comparisons with the other two debutants, she explained that she has been enjoying the process so much that she didn’t get the chance to think about anything else. Shubhangi shared, “I have just enjoyed the process of acting so much. When I was shooting, I was so submerged into just enjoying and doing what I love the most that all of these things never came to my mind. I love my job and I’m grateful to get this opportunity. That’s the only thing on my mind. I’m more excited to see what is in store for me. I’m not thinking about all of those things because then I’m just stealing myself the joy of enjoying this process. I don’t want to rob myself of that feeling because this is my first time and I will never feel this way again.”

Shubhangi then shared her admiration for Kher and said that she is looking forward to working with him again. “I would want to work with Anupam sir again. He is a great actor, greater director and the greatest human being. I keep telling him to take me in his films. I would honestly love to work with all the directors possible. I want to do different genres, work with different directors and actors,” concluded Shubhangi.
