Shreya Gupto, Salman Khan
Shreya Gupto is a Bengali actress who was born in Kolkata but raised in Chennai. Recently she grabbed attention when the young actress revealed her inspiring journey and how her mother’s career also complimented her dreaming about working with none other than Salman Khan .
The actress who completed her education both in Chennai as well as in Bengaluru has been quite clear since her childhood that she wanted to become an actor. And it started very early for her when she got a chance to work as a child artist in a few Tamil films. Shreya Gupto after completing her education came to Mumbai and enrolled in Anupam Kher’s acting academy Actor Prepares.
While being an actor was one part of her dream, another was getting to work with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
Shreya Gupto is playing an important role in Salman Khan’s upcoming Eid release Sikandar. Taking to Instagram, the young actress revealed how earlier her mother worked in a movie with Salman and that was when she had dreamt of working with the Bollywood superstar someday herself.
Shreya penned, “Manifestation or hard work? Ma did everything she could to make ends meet—she worked as a teacher, at a call center, and even took up small roles in films in shot Chennai. Every time she took me along to a film set, I couldn’t wait to grow up and become an actor.” When she saw her mom playing the role of a nurse in Salman Khan’ s Kyun Ki she wanted to do the same.
Years later when Ghajini was released she had also messaged AR Murugadoss saying that she would like to work with him.
Shreya Gupto thinks that she was naïve when she started but things changed when she landed in Mumbai. Over the years, she has worked in many projects released on OTT including Ragini MMS Returns, Mom and Co and many others.
But this is the first time that she has got to work on a proper movie set in Bollywood and that too with Salman Khan. For the young actress who had manifested working with the Dabangg star as a child life has now come a full circle.
