They say luck counts a lot in showbiz. While some people slog all their lives to make the cut in the industry, others zoom along on a route paved by destiny. One such person who got her first project when she wasn’t looking for it is Aahana Kumra. She made her debut with Amitabh Bachchan on the small screen in the 20-episode series called Yudh in 2014. Six years from then she has done some quality work in the digital space as well as in films like Lipstick Under My Burkha, which changed her life both as an actor and as a person. Talking about how she landed such a prestigious project with Amitabh Bachchan she reveals, “Anurag Kashyap watched me in a play at Prithvi Theatre and cast me as Bachchan saab’s daughter in Yudh. And till date, he remains my most favourite co-actor. And Yudh remains the project closest to my heart,” she gushes.
There’s a bounce in her voice as she recalls her first meeting with the megastar. “He had an hour-long chat with me about our characters and the history of our relationship. We shot our first scene together after that. He asked me if I had any problems with too many rehearsals. Till date, he’s the first person to message me on my birthday, even before my parents and always reverts immediately whenever I text him. I follow his rules of punctuality and discipline. He doesn’t take any single day on set for granted and enjoys being in front of the camera,” she rattles of. One can make out she’s been markedly influenced by Big B.
