Shriya Pilgaonkar says she doesn’t let long gaps in her acting career affect her work decisions. The actor debuted with the 2016 film, Fan, but she’s in no hurry to work on a film just for the sake of staying relevant and in the limelight. Instead, Shriya believes that every project has its own destiny and not everything will go according to your plans. “My instinct and gut guide me very strongly. I look at my career as a 50-year-long one and not a 5-year stint. So, I am not afraid of waiting. I want to be part of projects where I can showcase my growth as an actor. We need to realise that not everyone can take the path to overnight success. Take actors such as Rajkummar Rao and Vicky Kaushal – they have built their work and profile over the years to get to where they are. The most important thing is to be steady and consistent,” says Shriya.
