Speaking
about
playing
the
role
of
middle-aged
Sumitra
when
she
was
just
28,
the
actress
told
a
news
portal
in
an
interview
that
she
has
no
regrets
about
playing
the
part.


Shefali
told
Pinkvilla
that
she
didn't
think
it
was
a
big
deal
about
playing
a
character
much
other
than
her
back
then
adding
that
she
loved
the
script
of

Waqt

and
the
role
offered
to
her.


The

Dil
Dhadakne
Do

actress
told
news
portal,
"I
believe
that
as
an
actor,
the
joy
of
being
an
actor
is
that
you
play
roles
that
you
are
not.
It
could
be
caste,
creed,
colour,
sex,
and
age
falls
into
the
same
bracket.
So
I
didn't
see
what
was
the
big
deal.
I
mean
that
was
the
exciting
part,
being
somebody
I
am
not."


She
further
added
that
she
took
up
the
movie
because
she
wanted
to
work
with
Amitabh
Bachchan,
and
the
film's
director
Vipul
Amrutlal
Shah,
to
whom
she
is
now
married.


"I
really
loved
the
script
and
I
loved
the
role.
Before
that,
I
did

Hashratein

(where
she
played
a
30-35-year-old
when
she
was
20),
and
there
was
not
so
much
thinking
that
went
into
it," Shefali
told
the
news
portal.


However,
Shefali
said
that
she
is
now
going
to
focus
on
playing
her
own
age
as
she
is
very
happy
and
comfortable
with
it
and
doesn't
want
to
be
a
youngster.
Talking
about
the
changing
times,
the
actress
told
the
portal
that
nowadays,
more
scripts
are
written
that
have
strong
characters
for
women
in
her
age.


Workwise,
Shefali
Shah
was
recently
seen
as
one
of
the
main
protagonists
in
Disney+Hotstar's
medical
thriller
series

Human.
