The
surprise
success
(in
fact
mega
success!)
of
director
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
horror
flick
Phoonk
has
not
only
been
a
boon
for
its
distributors
and
the
down–but–not–out
Ram
Gopal
Varma
but
it
has
also
made
a
star
out
of
Ahsaas
Channa.
The
child
artiste
received
innumerable
accolades
for
her
frighteningly
brilliant
performance
as
the
tormented
child
and
won
all
the
sympathies
as
well
as
the
hearts
of
the
paying
audience.
Ahsaas
is
naturally
on
cloud
nine
after
the
success
of
the
film
and
is
receiving
a
lot
of
offers
from
filmmakers.
In
fact
she
is
bagging
many
roles
reserved
for
children
through
her
scary
avatar.
As
for
Ahsaas,
this
recognition
and
fame
is
not
new
as
she
has
seen
it
all,
having
earlier
worked
with
the
likes
of
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Preity
Zinta
in
Karan
Johar's
Kabhi
Alvida
Naa
Kehna
and
the
successful,
My
Friend
Ganesha.
She
has
also
worked
under
the
Ram
Gopal
Varma
banner
in
Vaastu
Shastra,
starring
Sushmita
Sen.
However,
the
fact
is
that
true
success
has
come
her
way
only
through
Phoonk
which
has
made
Ahsaas
an
instant
star,
a
celebrity
in
her
own
rights.
Here
is
hoping
for
many
more
Phoonk
(mind!)
blowing
performances!
