Kirti Kulhari opens up about Shaadistan, says 'Life is no longer happening to me; I am making it happen'

Kirti Kullhari's filmography is as varied as it could be. From playing a harassment survivor in Pink to playing an empowered woman in her series Four More Shots Please, she has done it all. The actress will next be seen in Shaadistan, which would head to OTT for a direct release. In a recent interview, she has opened up about it.

Talking to Mid Day, she opened up about the film, and her character in it. She is playing Sasha in Shaadistan. Kirti said, “My character Sasha is sorted and empowered. She came across as a person I am hoping to become some day,” begins the actor. The Raj Singh Chaudhary-directed venture revolves around four free-spirited musicians, including Sasha, whose lives collide with that of a small-town couple and their daughter as they travel together from Mumbai to Rajasthan. “I knew it was a small film, but I gravitated towards it because it’s the kind of movie that has to be made. The budgets and resources were limited, but our heart was in the right place.”

Talking about her choice of projects, Kirti said, “Life is no longer happening to me; I am making it happen. I am choosing my work carefully. It’s not about playing an empowered woman all the time. The reason I did Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors was to explore the other side of the spectrum, where she was a victim. That said, I want viewers to take something back with them, through my subjects. I could play a victim, and yet the subject of the series will stay with people. As artistes, we are always in a position to choose. As an actor, I want to leave people with a fresh perspective.”

We are eagerly waiting to see her in Shaadistan, which would release on Disney+ Hotstar.
