Actor who portrays Shanaya in Ghun Gaon
“What drew me to Ghun Gaon was that it’s a dark psychological thriller, a genre I’ve always been drawn to. But beyond that, Soumya Roy Chowdhury has explored a very unusual and gutsy subject through this genre — something I had not done before. I also felt it was the kind of film that could spark a conversation, and that really excited me.”

“The psychological aspect was more challenging because it required me to constantly tap into Shanaya’s fear, uncertainty and survival instinct. The physicality was demanding, but getting the mental state right was the bigger challenge.”
