Athiya Shetty made her debut with the 2015 film Hero, opposite Sooraj Pancholi, another star kid (son of actor Aditya Pancholi). However, in a span of three years since then, she has done only one other film, Mubarakan opposite Arjun Kapoor.
Athiya is currently in talks for a film opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Why did she take this break, when it’s critical for a newcomer to be visible everywhere? She says, “I think that I was super competitive when I first came into the industry. I would see what this or that person is doing. But as I have grown and matured, I have realized that it’s not important. Timing is very important, everybody has their time. It’s important for you to do what you have to do. Competition doesn’t bother me, I feel confident enough. It motivates me to work harder, and I know I need to work better,” Athiya signs off.
