Shefali Shah’s trajectory proves what we always knew — it may take long for talent to find success, but the two are bound to meet down the road. Earlier relegated to bit parts that did little justice to her acting prowess, Shah has come into her own in the past three years. Reflecting on her current streak, she says, “After all these years, I am finally doing the kind of work that I want to do. OTT entertainment changed things. Delhi Crime [2019] became a game-changer for me; makers started seeing me in lead roles and parallel leads after that. I shot for six projects last year. I hadn’t done so much work in my life so far.”
