Having done modelling assignments and ad commercials, Kashish Khan is set for showbiz. She will be seen as the leading lady in two films. While she is paired opposite Raj Tarun in Anubhavinchu Raja directed by Srinivas Gavireddy, she is Kalyandhev’s romantic interest in Kinnerasani directed by Ramana Teja. The actress says it was her childhood dream to become an actress and she’s pleased that it has been fulfilled. “While I was doing an ad commercial, I happened to meet Nagarjuna Sir. I was wondering whether to go into films, and if so, how to go about it. When I asked Nag Sir whether I could try films, he encouraged me. So that gave me confidence,” shares the actress.

Modelling is all about oneself, but films are teamwork and a bigger process, she notes, adding, “The things I like about filmmaking are the ambience of the sets, the passion of everyone involved, and the creative freedom that’s available. It’s just magic.”

While she reveals that she plays a strong and independent girl in Raj Tarun’s romantic drama, she says her role in the crime thriller, Kinnerasani will be a surprise.

“Both the roles were a learning experience; I have put a lot of effort into preparing for both the roles as they are diverse. I have ensured that I get my lines and diction right for the parts. I researched the roles to get all the nuances in the script,” says Kashish who was born in Jabalpur and moved to Delhi for undergraduate studies.
