Sheeba always on the lookout for chances to show off her skills.
Everybody’s career has several phases. Some people follow the same course, while others take detours. Sheeba Akashdeep, a well-known Bollywood performer from the 1990s who co-starred in Suryavanshi alongside Salman Khan, discusses her love for acting, challenges she faces, and the kinds of roles and projects she is on the lookout for.
She said, “I will not say that I’m satisfied. I’m just going with the flow and there’s so much more that I would have liked to do or I should do and I want to do.”
Recalling her struggles, “I think I was young and not well guided. And yes I have missed out on some very good opportunities. I was very relaxed about my career when I should have been more ambitious. So definitely yes there were a whole bunch of missed opportunities.”
The rivalry has grown as have the variety of mediums, platforms, and internet channels. There are 100 individuals waiting to seize a chance if you don’t.
Sheeba says, “Yes everybody today is replaceable and brings an equal amount of talent and looks and experience to the table. The opportunities have increased but so has the competition. But let’s be fatalistic here and say what is meant to be yours will fall into your lap and there are certain cases in which if people really like your body of work, seen some of your work and liked it, you’re going to get the opportunity.”
Waiting for her projects she said, “I want to do a myriad of roles on a myriad of platforms. I want to now work full time. I have dreamt about every single role that I have done so far. So yes I have dreams of doing more roles and want to fulfil my wishes.”

“What comes to my mind off late is a show called The Kominsky Method. It was very interesting and I could learn a lot of nuances of acting from it. So that was the show I kind of watched with great observation and depth. Interestingly, a very light documentary which I saw recently called Cunk on Earth on Netflix was really amazing. Had the protagonist, the actress who I thought was outstanding in her craft. I loved the nuances which she brought to her act. So you get to learn something new with every great show or part that you see and how an actor has interpreted that particular part which teaches you something every time.”
