It’s stressful without work and resuming work amid the pandemic; we just have to go on: Aarushi Sharma
Aarushi, who has four Punjabi projects waiting for release since last year, including two theatrical film releases and two web projects, is hopeful of the situation panning out well for everyone this time around. “I am very particular about safety protocols. Though the makeup artists are in masks, I ask everyone to leave the vanity van soon as makeup is done,” she says. Having got her first vaccine dose some days ago, she advocates getting vaccinated for everyone’s safety. “Everyone should get vaccinated irrespective of whether it’s made mandatory for work. It’s for our own safety after all, why should someone have to make that a mandate for resuming work or travel,” she says.
Though Aarushi started with Miss Diva, she is now comfortable about toning down glamour and playing a deglam girl on screen. “I am not here to look glam, but I am here because I want to be an actor. If the character demands no makeup, I am fine, including doing OTT. Though I wanted to be a Miss India from a young age and that’s what my mom also wanted me to do, after the Miss Diva pageant my career kind of accelerated and I became an actress and Punjabi music videos model very soon,” says Aarushi who hails from Delhi and has roots in Amritsar.
With a younger sister, whom she says, “is more stylish than I am,” and a mother back home, Aarushi says she is here in life because “my parents never stopped my sister and I from pursuing our passion.”
