SAHIL MEHTA IS HAPPY WITH THE SUCCESS OF TABBAR AND FARREY. HE TELLS TANZIM PARDIWALLA THAT HE TRUSTS THE TURNINGS OF LIFE TO DO GOOD BY HIM

- SAHIL MEHTA

It takes a while to land a meaty role and even longer if your roots are not in the city of dreams. A sea of people come in every month if not every day, to take a crack at showbiz. Impossible as it seems, distance does nothing to stop a budding performer from finding the spotlight. For Sahil Mehta, it took a couple of obscure roles before he landed in the main cast list of critically acclaimed works like Harman Wadala's thriller drama Tabbar and Soumendra Padhi's teen film Farrey.

"There is a beautiful dialogue in Tabbar," recalls Sahil Mehta. "Stepby-step honda sab kuch." The line, delivered by his onscreen mother, played by the delightful Supriya Pathak, resonates with the newbie every time he faces rejection. And he has faced a fair share of rejections.
