MEET THE SINGER TURNED ACTRESS, AMIKA SHAIL AS SHE OPENS HER HEART OUT IN THIS CANDID CONVERSATION
MARCUS CLAY
"Every day a good day for me"

Singer turned actress, Amika Shail is quite the bombshell we’d expect to see on the big screen, but she has surprised movie makers and the audience alike with great performances in television series like Madam Sir, Balveer Returns, Divya Drushti, Udaan to name a few, and web-series, Mirzapur 2, Zee5 and AltBalaji‘s superhit franchise, Gandi Baat 5 and more.

Amika is a 'Sangeet Visharad' having completed her post-graduation in music. She is a trained classical singer mentored by gurus Kaushik Bhattacharya and Nanda Das. Having received over 2 million views for her maiden cover song, she is among the top YouTube singers in the country. Now, this gorgeous and determined actress is blazing the trail with meaty roles and her audacious attitude.

You are living in exciting times...

Absolutely! I love my work and I've been working on good projects. I completed a project for Amazon Mini. I played a fitness model who is enamored by handsome gym hunks. She loves the beefed-up boys; she is a comical character. I'm currently working on a project for Alt Balaji where I play a sexy police officer. She is not the officer you would normally see and she has several tricks up her sleeves. I also completed a web series Chingari Chaubey which will release on OTT. I play the role of a very serious and intelligent CID officer. So yes, I've had the opportunity to play roles that are very different from each other. This helps me challenge my limitations as an actor.

You played a naïve village belle in In Chattis Aur Maina but in real life you are a city-bred shrewd Provoke Lifestyle | August 2023 girl. How do you do justice to roles for which you may not have real life experience?
