Pashmina Roshan, cousin of Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, candidly shared her struggles with depression and her journey towards finding her passion for acting as she prepares for her Bollywood debut in “Ishq Vishk Rebound.” In an interview with ANI, Pashmina revealed the internal battle she fought in her early years, grappling with uncertainty about her future and her capability as an actor.
Pashmina reminisced, “In the initial years, I was very confused if I can be a good actor or not. Though, I did theatres in school but I was not sure. So, I had applied to different universities in the UK for marketing. I got my visa, rooms were booked and it was summer holiday. I was very depressed. All my friends would go for parties and they would do everything. I used to just sleep in the afternoon.”
The young actor revealed that despite securing a spot in a UK marketing program, she found herself deeply unsatisfied with the direction her life was taking. “I wasn’t artistically satisfied in marketing, I don’t think I was good enough, good for it,” Pashmina admitted. This dissatisfaction prompted her to take a step back and re-evaluate her true interests. “Since then, I took a photo shoot actually to see what was in me. I showed it to my father and my uncle and they said yes, there is something in everyone but you have to polish it. From that time, I did back to back acting and dance classes. I learned Bharatanatyam and other dance forms. I started giving back-to-back auditions.”
Pashmina’s resolve to pursue acting seriously led her through a tough path, filled with numerous rejections and continuous self-evaluation. “After a lot of rejections, after continuously evaluating myself and taking feedback from family, after many years, I got this opportunity and this film. And I am very grateful for that,” she expressed with a sense of accomplishment.
A significant influence in Pashmina’s decision to dive into acting came from her early experiences on movie sets. Reflecting on her childhood, she shared, “At a very young age, me and my sister used to go on the sets of ‘Koi…
. Mil Gaya’. The makers have created Kasauli (the town of ‘Koi… Mil Gaya’) in the film city. We used to enjoy there so much that never wanted to go back home. From there my interest in films started.”
Her passion for acting was further nurtured through her involvement in theatre. “Later, I did theatres and we had a very good teacher because of whom we all became very dedicated to acting,” Pashmina noted, highlighting the importance of guidance and mentorship in her development as an actor.
The film “Ishq Vishk Rebound” also stars Rohit Saraf, Naila Grrewal, and Jibraan Khan. Pashmina fondly discussed her professional relationship with her co-stars, detailing how they supported her through challenging times. “I used to call them multiple times. I used to cry over phone and they both pacified me, which I found the cutest thing about both of them. I also fought a lot with Rohit,” she revealed, underscoring the camaraderie developed on set.
The recently unveiled trailer of “Ishq Vishk Rebound” showcases the actors, including Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan, Naila Grrewal, and Jibraan Khan in romantic portrayals. Rohit Saraf, speaking about the film, clarified that despite some connections to the original “Ishq Vishk,” this film is neither a remake nor a sequel. “It’s a new story altogether, a love story about Gen Z,” he stated at an earlier event.
