Oh my God, it’s a dream come true. I can’t put into words the amount of gratitude I have. Life has been treating me king-size since my debut,” chirps Pashmina Roshan. Her bubbly voice gives away the sheer thrill and joy she’s feeling. You can tell she’s been waiting for this moment. Her debut film, Ishq Vishk Rebound, a reboot of the cult classic 2003 rom-com Ishq Vishk starring Rohit Saraf, Jibraan Khan, and Naila Grrewal, was released recently. Besides Ishq Vishq Rebound, her claim of fame is the Roshan Surname. She’s music director Rajesh Roshan’s daughter and Hrithik Roshan’s cousin. Talk to her about her family and she gets nostalgic about the time spent on the sets of Hrithik Roshan’s iconic film Koi... Mil Gaya. “My first experience of being on the set was Koi... Mil Gaya. It was like magic personified. They made the makeshift town of Kasoli in Film City. Me and my sister, Suranika, were on the set every day. The kids in the film were older than us, so we would look up to them. It was this little makebelieve world, like a storybook world but it felt so real. I never felt like going home,” she grims.
She adds, “We were not allowed around my dad’s music recordings because we were naughty.
