In the speech, the actress said “Today, I am not here as an actor. Today, I am here just like myself. In all my honesty, in all my vulnerability, and like my son says ‘100 forms of a human emoji. I copied that line from him. What you see on screen is scripted but life isn’t. Well, what you see on screen is scripted but life isn’t and yet in life, we play so many different roles”.
Have you all registered that we call it playing roles, not working roles? And to play is to enjoy ourselves. So what are the roles that you are playing? Several, many, exactly!! Me too (chuckles)
She also added “I am a woman, apparently a strong one. A mother, a homemaker, a wife, a friend, and an actor. You have been made to believe that all these roles define us and they really do in a very very big way. But actually to think of it, isn’t it we who define these roles?
How you play the role is what makes it unique. Because no one will be you. Despite the paradox, norms, and conditioning. Conditioning that starts so early in life”
Shefali Shah has enjoyed multiple awards this year including National and International Awards such as Emmy for Delhi Crime, which became the only Indian show to ever win an Emmy.
Shefali Shah has relished a very successful year with content like Doctor G, Delhi Crime 2, Darlings, Jalsa, and Human winning the hearts of audiences all over.
