'Mirzapur' Actress Shriya Pilgaonkar Believes That Only Your Talent Speaks, Star Kid Or Not

Mirzapur Actress Shriya Pilgoankar Believes Your Talent Will Speak For You, Be It Star Kid Or Not Shriya Pilogankar got recognition with Mirzapur as Sweety and she says she worked very hard to get and wouldn’t want anyone to take that from her. Shriya is a daughter of Sachin and Supriya Pilogankar but never took her parents favour and has auditioned for the role she has got. Indiatimes got candid with Shriya and spoke to her about the recognition she got , her journey and the ongoing star kid and outsider debate. It’s unaware to say that I got recognition early We asked if she has got the recognition quite early with Mirzapur, she begged to differ and said, “ I started acting three years before Mirzapur, so I think it’s unfair to say that I got the recognition early because I have equally worked hard. I have already done three films earlier and I would not want anyone to take hard work from me. Of course Mirzapur happened and it worked work and its very special, but it is something that it didn’t come easy”. I believe talent speak When asked about the ongoing debate n insider and outsider to which she said, “ Every actor has their own struggle. I don’t want to sit and do comparisons. Yes my parents are always there for me for an emotional support and they are sure that I am strong girl who can make her own decisions. I believe that talent speaks, and if people like my work, they will accept me, basically we all need support of the audience, and people have seen my journey. I have auditioned for every role that I have got. So I don’t get affected by this debate around.” It is not that it was one day I decided to be an actor. I have been longing for it long time. Shriya says that acting came organically to her and she never asked her parents permission to be an actor, “ I didn’t really tell them, they just saw that. It is not that it was one day I decided to be an actor. I have been longing for it since long time. It was an organic process for me. All they told me that I have to be prepared about the uncertainty of the industry, but I had faith in my hard work and my skill. Industry is an inclusive place and everybody has their own way, there is so much content right now for everyone.” Acting is a combination of talent luck and opportunity. We asked Shriya if the struggle bogged her down to give up, “Acting is a combination of talent luck and opportunity. I always gave my 100 percent in the audition, but sometimes it worked out and sometimes it didn’t, there were times where I didn’t understand what more I have to do. But talent gets its recognition.” It’s the best time to be an actor Having said that she even said it’s the best time to be an actor, “ Especially today there is no typical hero and heroine thing, everyone is given importance, today if you get one second you have an opportunity to prove yourself, so it’s the best time to be an actor. All you have to be patient, because this industry is unpredictable. So all I have to do is to is keep faith and keep going. Because I don’t see my career as a 5 year career but a 60 year career.” Shriya will be seen next in The Gone Game along wioth Arjun Mathur and Shweta Tripathi.
