Sahher is Preity inspired!

and we were thrown into glacial water and we had to cross a river which had such a high current! It was really cold. There was a waterfall which was so cold, even the water was frozen and there were icicles over there, and we had to rappel down.

“After rappelling down there was a pool of water, at the end of the waterfall, where we were thrown, not twice but thrice. So all the action in the film, whether it was rappelling or anything else was very challenging and getting to these locations was a tougher task because we had to trek for eight to nine hours, then set up the base camp and then every morning we would trek from there for 40-45 minutes. So action, and in general shooting for the film, was pretty tough.” Sahher tells us she’s always had an inclination towards films. “I would watch Preity Zinta in Dil Chahta Hai and I would braid my hair overnight for those curls that she had in the film. So this (acting) is something I really wanted to do, and as I am from Shimla, and there weren’t as many opportunities there, after my schooling I thought I should go to Mumbai for college, because of the exposure. After winning a pageant, I got a call from the casting director of Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas. So I went and gave a couple of rounds of auditions and the last one was with Sunny Deol; within a week I got a call that I was selected.”

While speaking about her Bollywood favourites, Sahher admits to being a big Karan Johar Fan. “I’ve seen all his films and Kal Ho Na Ho is my favourite, most watched film of all time. In recent times I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Gully Boy. Among actors, Varun Dhawan is an all time favourite. Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal… they’re doing such amazing jobs. Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, all the outsiders who have made it so big... I think there’s so much to learn from them.”
