India, July 29 -- Shubhangi debuted in Hindi films with actor Anupam Kher's directorial, Tanvi The Great. Being an outsider, the actor feels it was a dream working with an ensemble cast that led her on every step of the way. Shubhangi refers to the seasoned actors - her co-stars Pallavi Joshi, Boman Irani, Anupam, Arvind Swami and Jackie Shroff - as "lions". She shares, "We all used to eat together when we were shooting in Lansdowne (Uttarakhand) and I remember feeling like a cub protected by lions. It instinctively felt so because that's the vibe and energy I got. They protected me." Having started her journey in acting with them, she says it has shaped her well as an actor and as a human being. "On screen or offscreen, there's just something so captivating about all of them. I used to be awestruck and starstruck. I'm just counting my blessings as working with them is more than a dream come true." Hailing from Anupam's acting school, she was chosen by him for the role of an autistic girl, which is inspired by his niece, Tanvi. Shubhangi underwent rigorous physical training and spent time with autistic kids to prepare for her part. Having worked with Anupam in his acting school and now the film, she says, "Anupam sir is a mentor and my guiding light. He was also strict, but everything you see on screen, unki hi wajah se hua hai."...
