Aastha Sharma is making waves with her portrayal of Neerja in COLORS’ ‘Neerja… Ek Nayi Pehchaan’. Viewers are hooked on the gripping story of Neerja’s quest for a dignified life away from her place of residence, Sonagachi. Besides her acting prowess, Aastha, a talented artist, pleasantly surprised her onscreen mom, Sneha Wagh, with a parting gift. She presented a hand-drawn replica sketch of a photo featuring her as Neerja and Sneha Wagh as Protima, a cherished memory of their shoot in Kolkata. She shares that whenever she gets some time off the camera, she spends her free time sketching and drawing.
Aastha Sharma shares, “Bidding farewell to Sneha ma’am on the show felt like parting from someone who will always be special to me. Her guidance and teachings have been invaluable to me, shaping my artistic journey in more ways than one.
I wanted to commemorate the time we spent together with a sketch. When she saw the sketch, she was overwhelmed by emotions and told me that I should pursue art as well. I feel that’s the biggest compliment for me. Creating art has been my passion since I was a child, and it remains my sanctuary, a place where my creativity thrives. Despite my demanding schedule as an actor, whenever I find a moment away from the camera, I find myself sketching or doodling whatever thoughts strike me. If I weren’t an actor, I’m certain I would be an artist.”
