Fame hasn’t changed Swara, says friend Amol

In showbiz, fame is said to bring about a change in an actor’s persona and affect personal relationships. However, actor Amol Parashar (right) feels otherwise about his friend and co-star Swara Bhaskar (far right), whom he has known for almost five years now. Amol says that even after doing so well in films, Swara hasn’t let fame affect her inter-personal relations and is still the same person.

“I met Swara at an audition, and she’s a dear friend. Even after doing such good work in the past few years, she is still the same person — bubbly, active and smiling, who never thinks twice before speaking her mind,” says the actor, who was seen in web series such as Tripling and Bisht, Please. Amol and Swara will soon be seen together in filmmaker Gaurav S Sinha’s Aapkey Kamrey Mein Koi Rehta Hai. The film also stars Sumeet Vyas of Permanent Roommates (web series) fame.

Referring to Swara’s films such as Raanjhanaa (2013), Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), Nil Battey Sannata (2016) and Anaarkali of Aarah (2017), Amol feels that such variety of films prove her capability as an actor and he’s happy that Swara’s talent has finally paid off. “She has always been a good actor. But recognition came in late for her. It’s just a beginning, Swara has much more within her to surprise all,” says Amol, who began his career with Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009).
