The box-office fate of Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021) was hardly encouraging. But Sharvari Wagh is content with what the comedy did for her. The Forgotten Army (2020) actor, who made her B-Town debut with the Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji and Siddhant Chaturvedi-starrer, points out that there has been a distinct shift in how filmmakers perceive her. “Getting meetings is easier post the film. I come from a place where I have seen a long line of auditions. So, I perceive competition and opportunities differently. It was a little unfortunate in terms of the [box-office] numbers, but I received appreciation for my work,” she smiles.
