Aarushi Sharma on her entry into the industry “I was in the right place at the right time.”

The effervescent Aarushi Sharma is ready to stun audiences with her versatility in her upcoming project Jaadugar, after impressing fans with her sauve and graceful portrayal in Love Aaj Kal 2. Aarushi will be seen as Disha Chabbra, a doctor.

“It was a heartwarming experience for me to play Disha,” Aarushi says. To begin with, playing a doctor is an honour. She is a down-home girl who adores her father and is ambitious in her career. As fate would have it, her paths crossed with Jeetu’s, a magician’s path, and her life took a huge leap forward. In fact, I can relate to Disha because, like her, my life took a major turn in the blink of an eye due to a seemingly random incident. When Imtiaz Ali was holding auditions for Tamasha, I was studying Engineering in Information Technology. He liked my work, and that’s how I got the role of ‘Sanyukta’ opposite Ranbir in Tamasha, I was in the right place at the right time.”

The actress continues, “Despite coming from an illustrious educational background in Shimla, where both of my parents are district judges, no one could have predicted my entry into Bollywood. But the overwhelmingly positive response to my first film reaffirmed my decision to work in film. I am truly grateful to my fans for supporting my work and encouraging me to do better. I just wanted to let them know that I do my best to read their messages and acknowledge their gratitude.”

Aarushi commented on her on-screen chemistry with Jeetu, saying, “I’m excited for my fans to see us together. Jitendra is a fantastic actor, and it was a pleasure to work with him. Everyone is going to adore Dimple and Jeetu. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect OTT debut!”

Jaadugar, Aarushi Sharma’s next film, is set to be released on July 15th.
