Medha Shankr’s Father Gave Her A Two Years To Land An Acting Gig

The 12th Fail actress is a Master’s degree holder, all thanks to her strict father! Her father made it clear that she would not pursue acting unless she completed her education!  After moving to Mumbai, she revealed that she was given a strict two-year deadline in Mumbai to land an acting gig.

Her move to Mumbai was a bold step in her family, where acting as a profession was never pursued. The actress recalls, “I bought an extra year from my dad after the two-year deadline had passed without any roles. But in my mind, I was ready to die in this city if I didn’t make it.”

The actress was hell-bent on pursuing acting as her career. She said, “Acting makes me happy and it is something that I love to do. If I take up any other career, I would never be happy.” We need to start taking some decision-making and career guidance tips from her!
