sargam: Hi Shahaha, Good Afternoon
Ans: Hello good afternoon everyone. The name is Shahana S. H. A.H.A. N.A =)
Kumaramn asks: Hi shahana, it was really refreshing to see a new confident female face in a male dominated film industry and the best part was that you gave your best and made your mark in a hero centric movie. I loved the character portrayed by you where you have done nothing less than superb to strike balance between a aspiring designer and a fish seller. luv u...
Ans: Hi kumaramn, Thank you very much for your very detailed flattery. I'm very happy to know you have appreciated the character and my portrayal of it.
rohit008: You have become a star overnight after Rock On! how does it feel?
Ans: Star?? Really? I didn't know that! But yes it feels weird and GREAT all at once. I often turn when I hear people whispering my name, thinking its someone I know! But its nice to be recognised to be appreciated and the best part if that it didn't even feel like hard work!
raj: How was it working with the hot Randeep Hooda in Ru Ba Ru?
Ans: Hi raj, it was actually very very insightful working with Randeep. He's a great actor and has a very sound understanding of the craft of acting. He has helped me and encouraged me apply and I owe a lot of my own understanding to him!
Naughtyboy: Hey Shahana you really acted nice in the movie I liked it very much, hows the experience with the new guys in rock on?
Ans: Hi, it was like a roller coaster ride actually. I never felt like I was working actually. They are all wonderful people and I have found great friends in them. Plus as you saw they are all very very talented!
hitman asks: I think ur too hot for a 35yr old. Are u single?
Ans: Thank you very much hitman.. But I'm actually 22. I only pretend to be older. And no I'm not single!
Vinay Sawant: Have you worked in some drama or TV serials before this film or directly got this huge break...In short tell us something about your experiences after entering the industry and your struggle.
Ans: Hi Vinay, so nice to know people want to know about things in your life. I didn't do any tv but I acted in two films before this - Yun Hota To Kya Hota and Honeymoon Travels. But I played really small parts in both so you might not remember. Then I got Rubaru which is out this friday please go see it! And Subsequently other films happened. There has not been a real struggle so to speak but I have waited patiently for the right things to come along and the rest I must say I've just been very lucky.. at the right place at the right time!
