Shriya Pilgaonkar Instagram – #ZeeZestDigitalCoverStar For an actor, trials and tribulations of critical and box office success make or break a career. Shriya Pilgaonkar’s approach is inordinately mature, especially as a woman. We suspect that it has to do with entertainment industry veterans and stupendous actors as parents—Shriya was born to parents Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar, who are stalwarts in the space. “It’s an absolute privilege to have had this sort of grounding and perspective to my work,” she accepts. Sachin Pilgaonkar, Shriya’s father, has been in this industry for almost 60 years with more than 200 films under his belt; he started his film career at the age of five. Mother Supriya also has an exceptional body of work in Hindi and Marathi films, television and theatre as an actor. “The whole idea is to enjoy the journey of the creation but to detach yourself from the result,” @shriya.pilgaonkar says is the single biggest professional learning from her parents. “It is a hard ask but it is the only way to go because, otherwise, you will be lost,” she adds. The prune-coloured stunning watch on Shriya’s wrist effortlessly transitions from day to night, making it a go-to for any occasion. #FindYourJoy For the full cover story log on to zeezest.com Credits: Creative Consultant: @mitrajitb Photographer: @kunalgupta91 Watch Partner: @titanwatchesindia Stylist: @yuktisodha Makeup: @makeupandhairbyshruti Hair stylist: @darshana.mule Artist Reputation Management: @kpublicity @bhavikak27 Outfit: @arokaofficial @ishhaara
