Zaira Wasim: I don't know if I’m going to become a full-time actress in the future

Zaira Wasim whose latest film 'Secret Superstar', has just hit the theatres, says that she still isn't sure if she'll continue acting in the future. Zaira, who comes from Kashmir, says she did not grow up watching Hindi films as such and had no desire to become an actor. “I still do not know if I am going to become an actress in future as a serious full-timer, but every time when I act, I try to deliver my best... Both the films that I have done offer beautiful stories,” she stated.
Talking about her audition for 'Dangal', she stated, “I did not go there with any expectation, but with a curious mind to explore and know what is acting and how they audition. Rest was a process and I think I am one of the luckiest children who got the best opportunity. And then working with AK (Aamir Khan) twice... I am blessed.”
When asked how she handles this new-found celebrity status, she said, “Oh yes, I want to share this. So, we all know that my hair was cut for Dangal and my look was different, right? One day, a fellow came to me with a mobile phone, saying, ‘Arrey bhaiya, aap woh Aamir Khan waale picture me thhe na? Ek photo le le?’ I mean because of my short hair, that guy calls me brother? I mean my first fan... and bhaiya?”
She also stated that by nature she's an introvert and so she finds it more difficult to talk about her films during movie promotions. “Nothing has changed in me, trust me... I can spend the whole day in a room with some good food, and play with my cats. I have three cats -- one is black, one white and a brown kitten. I love them... I keep playing with them,” she concluded.
