Shefali Shah is among those select actors who always prefer quality over quantity when it comes to their career graph. Maybe that\u2019s one of the primary reasons why her filmography is not that dense as compared to other actors in the film industry, who have been around for as many years as her.Shefali says that she does not treat her [acting] profession as a 9 to 5 job where in she will agree to do whatever comes her way. She admits that she is selective and feels that it has paid off well with films such as Satya (1998), Monsoon Wedding (2001), 15 Park Avenue(2005), Gandhi, My Father (2007) and Dil Dhadakne Do (2015) to her credit.She also feels that storytelling is changing in Indian cinema, which has helped her bag her first out-and-out romantic film, Once Again, something that she has never been offered in her over two-decade-long career.The film, starring Neeraj Kabi, which is an Indo-German production, is a story about two people, who come from different background but fall in love and how their relationship faces societal pressures.\u201cI am a die-hard romantic, so I have always wanted to do a love story and this one came about. It was originally written in German, Kanwal Sethi (director) had written it in German and then it was made into Hindi,\u201d she says.Actor Shefali Shah plays Tara in her film, Once AgainShefali feels that today \u201cactors are dominating the films because they are actors, not because they are stars.\u201d She explains, \u201cThe films are story-oriented. Take for example Lipstick Under My Burkha (2016), Pink (2016), these are incredible works.\u201dAbout her being selective, the actor says, \u201cI have also come to terms with the fact that the kind of work that I want to do doesn\u2019t come every day. It just won\u2019t. So, I prefer to wait for the work that makes me happy and what people respect, than be part of 10 films.\u201dThe actor adds that to her, work does not mean the length of the role, it means \u201cthe mettle, the potency and the relevance\u201d of the role in the film.\u201cI was lucky to get really good films, even though I don\u2019t have 100 films in my resume. The films that I have done are commendable. I love my work way too much to just go into it as a 9 to 5 job. I\u2019d rather not do things [that] I am not going to be happy about. My goal is that my films should at least match up to my previous films if not be more,\u201d shares Shefali.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
