Aiming for the skies...
Debutant Shubh is all set to showcase his talent in Aasma!
Hold on... there���s a new bird in the Bollywood sky ��� Shubh, a Bollywood aspirant who makes his acting debut with Aasma.
Having come as an ���orphan in this industry��� ��� ���My parents are in no way connected to Bollywood; I came without references; people didn���t even want to meet me��� ��� Shubh���s first flight has been ���a learning experience���...
He began the Shahid Kapoor way. ���I was in Shiamak Davar���s dance troupe. So yes, I���ve taught for a couple of years, have also been a part of the Commonwealth Games performance and have danced with Hrithik and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan in Dhoom 2,��� informs the newbie, who not only runs a theatre group in Delhi but also has to his credit a short film, Brown Sugar which he directed at the tender age of 14.
Shubh defines himself neither as an actor, nor a dancer. ���I aim to be an entertainer ��� be it acting, directing, scriptwriting... In fact I���ve written the story, screenplay and dialogues of Aasma myself. I wasn���t supposed to act in it... I wanted to prepare myself, but my producer and director insisted that I could pull it off,��� he tells us.
Though the 23-year old draws his inspiration from Akhtar, it���s Shah Rukh Khan���s ���priceless tips��� that he���ll never forget. ���I got the opportunity to meet Mr. Khan, my role model. He told me that though I was pursuing a career in films, I should focus on education, too; If there���s no one to give me a break, then there���s no one stopping me from achieving what I want to either. And lastly, he suggested that I always work on my own terms and conditions.���
Having faced a lot of difficulties and negativity throughout the filmmaking process, Shubh has only emerged stronger. He says, ���People were always trying to bring my confidence down.But then there there���ll always be those kinds who���d like to watch you fail... All that you have to do is have faith in yourself and stand by what you believe.���

While his debut film will hit the screens on January 23 next year, the boy has already been signed for four other movies, Nakshatra, The First Kiss, What���s Your Age and an untitled English film. So, who���s his inspiration in Bollywood? ���Right now, I���m maha impressed with Farhan Akhtar,��� says Shubh, ���He hasn���t limited himself; and has just gone with the flow.���
