Actress Sanaya Irani is currently seen in filmmaker Vikram Bhatt’s latest horror flick Ghost. As we all know that Irani started out on television. So, when she made a crossover to movies, many people thought if she would leave television to pursue a career in films.
Talking about the same, the talented actress tells an entertainment portal, “Everyone thinks that I am moving into films because this is the step and that I am done with Television. But this actually happened very organically. I was doing TV, I was very happy doing TV, I got offers for films while I was doing TV as well. So, if I had to make the shift, I would have done while I was at my peak on TV.”
However, the actress feels that now television does not have the kind of work that she wants to do. “I have been on TV for 10 years and it is no more the same. TV doesn’t have the kind of work I want to do. I realized that it has happened because it is swiftly shifting to the web. The kind of work I want to do is shifting to the web and hence, I took a back seat and then Zindabad (2018) came to me where I worked with Vikram Bhatt. I think he loved it, and hence he offered me Ghost and it has turned out to be better than my expectations,” says the actress.
Talking about transitioning from television to films, the actress says, “I took 10-15 days to warm up to it. An actor is an actor. You ask me to overdo or underplay it, I can do it. It is just that I was used to a certain kind of work for 10 years, I at least need 10 days to change that style. Vikram told me that I have the most expressive eyes and I don’t need to do much but just keep it subtle. It took me a while to undo what I had done for long.”
