SANOBER PARDIWALLA
BOLLYWOOD STUNT WOMAN
Sanober Pardiwalla cannot keep still. Bollywood's ace and first - stunt woman is constantly in the spotlight for her daring stunts and her can-do-it attitude. Her days are filled with activity, whether with movie projects or with her celebrity training schedule - and she is passionate about her interior designing career as well.
I was just 12 when I auditioned to stand in for Aishwarya Rai. I was a gymnast and a black belt in karate with very sharp reflexes. That first day on the set, I instinctively understood what facing the camera was all about, the light and the shadows, the concept of retakes. I loved it all and, though I was very young, I knew I could make this passion my profession. It was and is like art to me.
My grandfather and mother have been my biggest supporters. Although I was really young, they believed in me. Initially, my mom thought it was a passing phase but, the more they saw me doing the most high-risk stunts effortlessly - I had the confidence to say 'no' in front of a hundred people if it was not safe - they realised they should encourage me. And, touch wood, they always have.
I have spent over 22 years in the industry and done over 200 films. I do all the high-risk stunts myself, but I also train actors on fight sequences.
