"You
do
hear
horror
stories
while
stepping
into
Bollywood,
but
then
which
profession
doesn't
have
it's
own
set
of
battles
to
fight",
reasons
glam-girl
Shaana
who
would
soon
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
with
none
other
than
Amitabh
Bachchan's
in
Vivek
Sharma
directed
Bhoothnath.
A
relative
newcomer
in
the
tinsel
world,
Shaana
was
seen
first
in
Namastey
London
where
she
played
the
role
of
Laila.
Offers
started
pouring
in
for
the
glamorous
girl
who
comes
from
a
Swiss-Gujarati
lineage.
"My
mom
is
a
Gujarati
while
dad
is
a
Swiss
Jew.
After
living
most
part
of
my
life
in
Switzwerland
and
London,
I
decided
to
shift
my
base
entirely
in
Mumbai
the
moment
Bollywood
came
knocking",
reveals
Shaana
who
has
been
dreaming
about
being
an
actor
ever
since
she
can
remember.
In
Bhoothnath
she
plays
the
role
of
Amitabh
Bachchan's
daughter
in
law
while
paired
opposite
Priyanshu
Chatterjee.
It
must
have
been
quite
some
experience
working
with
Big
B,
isn't
it?
"It
was
an
honour
to
be
working
with
Mr.
Bachchan",
says
Shaana,
"It
was
an
amazing
experience,
mainly
due
to
sheer
professionalism
he
brings
on
the
sets.
Just
seeing
him
work
from
a
distance
is
such
a
rewarding
experience.
He
has
a
good
eye
for
detail
for
everything
on
the
sets",
gushes
Shaana.
She
continues
to
talk
of
her
high
regard
for
Bachchan,
"I
am
sure
I
am
not
the
first
or
the
last
person
to
be
saying
so
but
working
with
him
only
inspires
you
to
go
an
extra
distance.
Since
he
is
always
150%
sure
about
delivering
the
best
results
in
his
very
first
shot,
I,
too,
had
to
be
sure
that
the
director
didn't
call
for
a
second
shot."
The
film
also
stars
Shahrukh
Khan
in
a
guest
appearance.
Does
she
consider
herself
fortunate
that
while
her
first
film
had
Rishi
Kapoor
and
Akshay
Kumar,
the
second
has
living
legends
of
the
likes
of
Big
B
and
King
Khan?
Shaana
philosophizes,
"Everyday
I
live
in
Mumbai
is
fortunate
for
me.
See,
the
industry
is
a
roller
coaster
ride.
You
have
something
today,
tomorrow
it
may
be
gone.
If
today,
I
can
do
whatever
I
want,
work
hard,
hit
the
gym
and
live
life
with
a
smile,
isn't
it
all
fortunate
enough?
For
me,
the
work
I
do
in
the
course
of
the
day
is
a
reward
enough
as
it
only
acts
as
a
stepping
stone
for
me
to
look
forward
to
an
even
better
tomorrow."
