Shefali Shah: AI can't replace human emotion in film

Acclaimed actress Shefali Shah recently shared her perspective on the evolving landscape of filmmaking, particularly addressing the integration of Artificial Intelligence. She views AI as a valuable support system but firmly believes it can never replace the essential human touch and emotion in creative projects. Shah prefers a spontaneous approach to acting, drawing from the scene's dynamics and her character's internal state rather than relying on pre-defined methods.

Discussing her craft, Shah highlighted her evolving portrayal of DCP Vartika Chaturvedi in 'Delhi Crime,' noting a mature, less overt display of strength. She also expressed excitement for her upcoming film 'Hisaab,' a bank heist thriller directed by her husband Vipul Shah, praising co-star Jaideep Ahlawat. The couple maintains a professional respect for each other's work, balancing collaboration with creative independence.

Looking ahead, Shah is planning a unique 25th wedding anniversary celebration with her husband, embarking on a trip to Norway and Finland to witness the aurora borealis and swim with orcas. She also touched upon industry debates, advocating for working hours as an anomaly rather than a norm and asserting that AI cannot be the core of any creative endeavor.
