Women should never fear to follow their dreams: Actor
Kolkata | Friday, May 22 2009 IST
Portraying the changing face of Indian women, debutante actor Wasna Ahmed has spread across the message to follow one's dreams in the face of all obstacles. ''For all women, who want to make it big, I have one message -- trust your dreams and do not let it go even for a single moment and one day your wishes will surely come true,'' actor Wasna Ahmed told UNI yesterday. ''A woman, I feel, should know how to juggle the different hats to perfection. She should know how to handle home and outside. Shrugging off her household responsibilities by just saying that I am a modern woman is not right,'' the pretty actor said. She was in the city to promote her popular Hindi serial Shree, where she plays the role of a naive homemaker trying her best to save her marital life from an evil spirit. Although, the soap portrays Wasna as a traditional unassuming married Indian woman, she feels, ''Wasna is very much like Shree, the main protagonist in the soap -- nave and innocent. But at the same time she is determined to pursue her goals.'' ''I feel the character of Shree is similar to me as she has the determination to follow her dreams and gradually matures from an inexperienced young woman to being a confident lady who weathers all storms in her way,'' the actor maintained. ''I hope the serial appeals to the audience as it has got a unique blend of different elements of a typical family soap, drama, romance as well as supernatural elements,'' she said. The Kolkata girl, who spent her school-going years in the city, is eager to work with reputed Bengali film director Rituparno Ghosh. ''I am ready to work in Bengali films, especially with Rituparno Ghosh, if and when an opportunity comes,'' she said. ''Bengal is always like a second home to me. In fact, I was undergoing depression when I first went to Mumbai to carve a niche in the world of glamour and glitz,'' Wasna said all in praise for Kolkata.

Ask her about her first crush and the man of her dreams, a bold Wasna shoots, ''It's Sharukh and only Sharukh.''
