Sharvari reveals Aamir Khan's reaction to her role after watching Maharaj: 'You did a really good job

Sharvari reveals Aamir Khan's reaction

Sharvari had an eventful year in 2023, with several projects marking major milestones in her career. The horror-comedy Munjya became an unexpected box-office hit, grossing over Rs 100 crore domestically, while Vedaa earned her significant critical acclaim for her portrayal of a Dalit woman. Meanwhile, Maharaj shot her into social media fame, particularly due to the song Haan Ke Haan, which showcased her captivating chemistry with Junaid Khan. Her bold dance number Taras from Munjya presented a completely different side of her, earning her the title of the ‘national crush.’

In an interview with News18 Showsha, Sharvari opened up about her whirlwind of success, explaining that she’s determined to remain grounded despite this incredible run of achievements. "I’ve waited for this moment for a really, really long time. I don’t think this success will lead me to get ahead of myself. I may have come into the limelight only recently because of my films doing well, but I’ve had a long journey of auditioning, facing rejections, and missing out on films I wanted to do,” she shared.

Reflecting on her journey, she added, "My journey keeps me grounded and reminds me of the difficult days I’ve had, which is why I keep my feet on the ground very strongly. I’ve always waited for days like these when my work gets appreciated or even released for that matter. And now with the audience reaction I’m receiving, I think it’s a huge validation for an actor like me. It makes me feel that I must be doing something right."

Sharvari also recalled her early career days, mentioning how she had auditioned for Aamir Khan’s Thugs of Hindostan but didn’t land the role. When Aamir praised her performance in Maharaj, which stars his son Junaid Khan, it left her both stunned and reassured. “Aamir sir met me even before the screening. And I remember him telling me, ‘You’re very good in the film. You did a really good job.’ And I hadn’t watched the film till then. So, when he complimented me, it gave me a lot of assurance ki kuch achcha kiya hoga," she shared.

When asked about her now-viral line "mama maasi ka hi toh fark hai" from Maharaj, Sharvari said, “It’s incredible. When I heard the story and I was shooting for it, I thought Viraaj’s character was fantastic. I really enjoyed her dialogues and the way they were written in the script. I was very excited! I was just having fun on set. I never ever thought that these lines would go on to become so popular. A lot of people wrote to me about my character."

Speaking about balancing the mainstream success of Munjya with a more niche film like Vedaa, Sharvari commented, “In today’s time, films are just stories and audiences are also treating them like that. And that’s why we have so many genres of films working. So many unexpected films are doing well like Munjya. At the end of the day, it’s all about what speaks to me and what character I’ll be living with in the next six months."
