Shruti
Sharma
aka
Kahani
of
Colors'
drama
show
Namak
Issk
Ka
is
on
a
high.
Apart
from
essaying
the
top
GEC
lead,
she
recently
also
featured
in
a
Netflix
feature
presentation
Paggalait.
Lucknow
lass
Shruti
started
her
career
with
the
talent
show
India's
Next
Superstars
(Star
Plus).
Her
first
brush
with
success
came
when
she
bagged
the
lead
role
in
Gathbandhan
(Colors).
Followed
by
a
string
of
association
with
Four
Lions,
she
has
done
a
substantial
role
in
Star
Plus
fantasy
show
Yehh
Jaadu
Hai
Jinn
Ka!,
lead
role
in
the
short-lived
Nazar
2
again
on
Star
Plus,
and
now
again
the
mainstay
of
Namak
Issk
Ka.
Shruti
has
also
acted
in
a
Tollywood
flick.
Filmibeat
had
a
quick
interview
between
shots
with
Shruti
in
Hyderabad
(the
unit
had
to
shift
to
Telangana
to
beat
Mumbai
lockdown),
to
find
out
what
makes
her
tick.
You
have
done
TV,
OTT
and
cinema.
How
does
it
feel?
I
am
blessed
and
overwhelmed
to
have
got
an
opportunity
to
dabble
in
various
mediums
so
early
in
my
career.
Did
you
face
issues
enacting
Kahani
being
a
rustic
gal?
You
can't
describe
Kahani
as
such.
She
is
just
an
ordinary
UP
side
girl.
I
also
did
not
have
any
issues
with
her
diction
as
her
Hindi
is
clean,
and
since
I
too
hail
from
the
same
side
of
the
woods,
it
was
easier
for
me
to
get
into
her
shoes.
I
am
pretty
honoured
to
be
able
to
promote
my
culture.
What
is
the
biggest
challenge
in
this
role?
To
get
social
acceptance
for
Kahani,
given
her
dancer
background.
We
started
with
that
high
point
and
have
to
keep
ensuring
that
we
don't
lose
our
moorings.
Over
time,
audiences
have
come
around,
sadly
many
still
judge
her
over
tiny
issues,
and
her
character
always
comes
under
a
cloud.
Your
equation
with
Namak
Issk
Ka
co-star
Aditya
Ojha?
It
is
fun
to
share
screen
space
with
this
talented
Bhojpuri
film
actor.
We
both
gell
well.
How
is
it
shooting
during
COVID
times?
It's
tough
being
away
from
family
and
friends.
But,
our
production
house
takes
care
of
all
our
needs
here
in
Hyderabad.
The
weekly
COVID
test
takes
me
back
to
my
school
days
when
we
anxiously
awaited
our
regular
exam
results.
You
have
a
good
thing
going
with
producer
Gul
Khan.
I
am
thrilled
to
have
been
able
to
live
up
to
the
trust
of
Gul
mam,
no
wonder
she
gives
me
back
to
back
projects.
I
hope
Namak
Issk
Ka
continues
to
do
well.
There
have
been
reports
that
Shruti
is
dating
Gathbandhan
co-star
Abrar
Qazi.
However,
when
we
questioned
her
about
the
same,
she
refused
to
answer.
