Who Is Ahilya Bamroo? Influencer Making Debut With Abhishek Bachchan
Ahilya Bamroo, who portrays Arjun's daughter in the film, marks her debut in cinema with I Want to Talk. Known for her dynamic presence on social media, Ahilya is a model, actor, voiceover artist, and digital creator whose short-form videos and reels have earned her a significant following.
Born in Mumbai and raised in Pondicherry, Ahilya's upbringing was shaped by a unique blend of cultures. "I was in an ashram school where we learned French, English, and Bengali, creating this cultural mix while still feeling detached from the outside world," she said in an interview with Homegrown. Later, she moved to Auroville, a global community with residents from over 42 countries, which further shaped her evolving sense of identity.
In her latest interview with Tulsea, Ahilya spoke passionately about her love for acting, describing it as a transformative experience. "There is a certain amount of courage that I feel when I'm acting that doesn’t appear in my everyday life. It’s almost as if the moment I make the choice to be in a character, I’m suddenly fearless," she shared.
She also highlighted the challenges of portraying realistic actions on camera, “What’s harder to do, and no one really talks about it, is just being normal. Like, open the fridge and make a sandwich, but you’re being filmed. It’s the little things that feel the toughest sometimes.”
With I Want to Talk, Ahilya is ready to take her unique experiences and perspectives to a wider audience, cementing her place as an emerging talent in the film industry.
