Zaira Wasim: I Speak My Mind If I Feel There Is A Need!
Secret Superstar actress Zaira Wasim says she's an introvert by nature, but will never shy away from speaking her mind as to what's right if the need arises.
Up-and-coming
actor
Zaira
Wasim
says
she
is
an
introvert
but
will
not
shy
away
from
speaking
her
mind
if
the
need
arises.
The
17-year-old
actor
says
she
does
not
raise
her
voice
time
and
again
but
would
not
be
afraid
to
do
so
when
pushed.
In
an
interview
with
PTI,
Zaira
says,
"I
am
an
introvert.
I
don't
speak
openly
or
give
my
opinions.
But
if
I
feel
there
is
a
need
to
speak
or
take
a
stand
I
do
it.
Otherwise
I
am
not
an
opinionated
person,
I
don't
voice
my
opinion
so
frequently."
Her
recent
release
"Secret
Superstar",
also
featuring
Aamir
Khan,
is
garnering
a
positive
response
from
the
audience
and
that
is
what
matters
to
her.
"I
don't
understand
box
office
numbers
all
I
know
is
we
are
getting
good
reviews.
A
great
story
defines
the
success
of
a
film.
We
knew
it
has
a
wonderful
story
but
we
did
not
expect
this
kind
of
overwhelming
response
to
it."

"Some
people
have
liked
the
mother-daughter
relationship,
while
some
the
domestic
violence
part
or
strength
of
women."
The
Advait
Chandan-directed
film
is
Zaira's
second
film
after
last
year's
release
"Dangal"
and
the
actor
says
she
is
open
to
doing
all
types
of
films,
albeit
they
are
content
driven.
"I
am
not
being
able
to
register
my
method
(in
acting)
or
what
I
want
to
do
in
terms
of
roles
and
films.
I
am
yet
exploring
myself
as
an
actor.
"I
will
be
interested
in
doing
an
entertainer,
provided
the
story
is
good
and
I
am
convinced
about
it.
My
strength
for
acting
is
my
conviction
for
it."
Zaira
says,
since
the
"Dangal"
days,
her
home
state
of
Jammu
and
Kashmir
has
been
proud
of
her
work
and
she
is
happy
"Secret
Superstar"
has
also
been
well
received.
"I
am
from
Kashmir
but
after'Dangal' was
released
I
went
to
Jammu
and
we
had
kept
a
screening
of
the
film
for
some
people
and
they
loved
the
film,
the
character,
it
was
emotionally
steering.
It
(the
working
environment)
is
very
easy.
They
take
so
much
pride
in
my
work."
"Coming
to
the
sentiments
of
the
people
I
know
what
I
would
feel
(for
a
film
or
character)
it
would
be
the
exact
same
feeling
that
they
(people
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir)
would
feel
back
home.
And
I
am
very
careful
about
that.
Because
I
know
what
they
will
like
in
a
film.
Same
way
if
I
feel
let's
ignore
it,
they
would
feel
exactly
like
that
and
might
not
like
it."
The
actor
says
she
would
be
happy
if
more
people
from
her
state
followed
her
into
the
film
industry
but
she
does
not
want
to
be
a
role
model
for
anyone.
"It
is
their
(audience)
wish
if
they
want
to
get
in,
it
is
their
choice.
I
don't
want
people
to
look
upto
me
and
say
that
she
has
gone
so
even
I
want
to
go.
It
should
be
their
individual
choice."
Zaira
says
she
considers
Aamir
as
her
friend,
who
is
just
a
phone
call
away.
"Everyone
calls
him
Mr
Perfectionist
but
for
me
he
is
Mr
Passionate,
he
is
so
dedicated.
If
you
work
with
a
person
like
him
you
also
want
to
give
your
best.
You
want
to
match
step
by
step
with
his
dedication
to
work," she
says.
