Shefali Shah on working with Alia Bhatt in Darlings: She is fantastic

Shefali Shah is undoubtedly one of the most talented actresses we have in the industry. She has made a mark in Bollywood, the Television industry, and on digital platforms.

The actress has some interesting projects lined up and one of them is Darlings which is produced by Alia Bhatt's Eternal Sunshine Productions and Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment.


Recently, while talking to Times Now, Shah opened up about Darlings and said, "Oh it's been great fun. I’ve never done something like this before because people have this image of me being very serious and that I only do the strong serious roles. But this is a dark comedy - it's wicked, it’s funny, it’s very pertinent and talks about a very strong subject, and at the same time, the way it’s written, it’s hilarious. And I am having so much fun doing it."

When asked about her experience of working with Alia, who is a producer and her co-actor, Shefali said, "She’s never behaved like a producer on set and I don’t think anybody behaves like a producer on set, even the producers. As a co-actor, she is fantastic. We had great chemistry."

"In fact, all the actors - Alia, Vijay, Roshan - it’s a fantastic cast and crew. With our director and our DOP, it’s like a dream team," the actress added.

Directed by Jasmeet K Reen, Darlings also stars Vijay Varma and Roshan Mathew.

While talking about the other projects of Shah, the actress will be seen in Doctor G and Delhi Crime season two (Netflix’s series).
