Shefali Shah: Amitabh Bachchan Recommended Me For Waqt
19 Oct
Summary
- Amitabh Bachchan recommended Shefali Shah for the film Waqt.
- Director husband Vipul Shah initially advised against the role.
- The role led to Shefali being typecast in maternal roles later.
Shefali Shah disclosed that Amitabh Bachchan's recommendation was instrumental in her accepting the role in "Waqt: The Race Against Time." Her husband and the film's director, Vipul Amrutlal Shah, had initially advised her against taking the part.
Shah explained her decision was driven by a desire to be a versatile actor and explore characters different from herself, rather than considering career implications. She admitted to not having professional guidance at the time and focused on proving her acting mettle.
However, this choice subsequently led to a phase where Shah was primarily offered maternal roles. While she embraced playing mothers, she desired roles appropriate to her age and circumstances, avoiding characters much older than herself.
