Daisy Shah started as a dancer got her break with superstar
Salman Khan and is now experimenting with theatre. She says she was attracted
to venture on the stage because the role of a courtesan was promising and she
trained with a professional Kathak dancer to portray the character. Music being
an integral part of the courtesan culture and Daisy insisted on singing on
stage as well. While some of her detractors laughed at her attempt to
experiment so early in her career Daisy is happy to have taken the plunge. “Theatre
is more challenging than cinema as everything happens on the spot. The
reactions are spontaneous and you can make out if the audience is affected by
your performance. In films I have mostly done glamour roles but on stage I have
the option to play a complex character like begum”
Begum
