After
a
fleeting
cameo
as
Princess
Sanyukta
in
'Chali
Kahaani'
song
from
Ranbir
Kapoor-Deepika
Padukone's
Tamasha,
Arushi
Sharma
is
all
set
to
debut
on
the
big
screen
as
a
leading
lady
in
Kartik
Aaryan-Sara
Ali
Khan's
Love
Aaj
Kal.
In
a
recent
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
the
former
engineering
student
revealed
that
she
never
planned
to
become
an
actor.
Speaking
about
how
she
bagged
a
cameo
in
Tamasha,
Arushi
revealed,
"I
am
from
Himachal
Pradesh,
which
doesn't
have
an
active
theatre
scene," adding
that
Imtiaz
Ali
visited
her
college
in
Shimla
for
the
recce
of
his
film,
Tamasha.
She
went
on
to
audition
for
the
part
of
Sanjukta
and
that's
how
she
bagged
the
part.
"Engineering
colleges
are
usually
boring.
I
became
popular
after
working
with
Ranbir
Kapoor,"
the
actress
told
the
daily.
After
this,
she
started
sending
recordings
of
her
performances
to
casting
directors.
She
received
a
call
from
Mukesh
Chhabria's
office
in
February.
"I
auditioned
in
Delhi
and
within
15
days,
I
was
brought
on-board
Love
Aaj
Kal.
The
shoot
was
to
begin
within
a
month
and
suddenly,
I
had
this
huge
mountain
to
climb."
Arushi
further
revealed
that
she
had
to
unlearn
a
few
things
and
learn
new
things
for
Love
Aaj
Kal.
To
prepare
for
her
role
and
understand
the
love
from
that
era,
she
watched
Qayamat
Se
Qayamat
Tak
and
Maine
Pyar
Kiya.
She
was
all
praise
for
her
Love
Aaj
Kal
co-star
Kartik
Aaryan
and
told
the
tabloid,
"Even
he
is
an
engineer,
it
was
like
meeting
an
old
buddy.
He
is
an
actor
who
is
always
trying
to
improve
his
craft
and
a
good
co-star
who
elevated
my
performance,
too.
He
can
stay
focused
even
in
chaos,
I
can't."
While
she
doesn't
have
any
scenes
with
Sara
in
the
movie,
they
shot
together
for
a
track
and
Arushi
said,
"She
(Sara)
has
a
lot
of
energy,
is
involved
in
every
aspect
of
filmmaking."
When
asked
about
her
wishlist
of
actors
with
whom
she
would
like
to
work,
Arushi
said,
"I
would
love
to
work
with
Ranveer
Singh,
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Ayushmann
Khurrana.
Alia
Bhatt,
too,
is
a
favourite."
Directed
by
Imtiaz
Ali,
