Shivaleeka finds herself in the spotlight once again, with her second film Khuda Hafiz which recently released on Disney+ Hotstar. “I have so much gratitude for the universe. When I see both my films, to me it is like my dreams playing on screen,” she says with a smile. Excerpts from a conversation:
Are you happy with the kind of response Khuda Haafiz has received?
This is my second film. The expectation was to have a grand theatre release but the warmth and reception Khuda Haafiz has gotten on OTT is overwhelming. There is a blessing in disguise in everything that happens. Khuda Haafiz coming on OTT too is a blessing! This has made sure that the film reaches anyone and everyone. The response from the fraternity and the audiences are amazing. I’m quite overwhelmed by all the love that has come my way after the release of the film.
Did you identify with your character Nargis?
Nargis is a character I relate to very well but she is also quite different. She is a very simple girl-next-door who has never stepped out of Lucknow. For me, who has travelled the entire world and is so bubbly, I had to completely tone myself down.
Did your experience as an assistant director help you when you were in front of the camera?

STAYING AWAKE WITH NO SLEEP!
Love gin? Who doesn’t, right? Well, think of the lovely, crisp Greater Than gin and add your other favourite brew, coffee from Sleepy Owl to it and what you have is a combination that just won’t let you sleep! But guess what, No Sleep is a gin that is worth staying awake for. Available as a limited edition release, this gin contains no sugar, coffee extracts or artificial flavours. The cold brew is made using 100 per cent Arabica coffee from Chikmaglur, Karnataka and added to the gin. The result is a burst of flavours with the taste of red cherries, followed by salted caramel and finishing with hints of delicately-spiced pink peppercorn. Anand Virmani, co-founder and distiller at Nao Spirits shares his thoughts on this cool collaboration.
