Reflecting on the grit it takes to break into the industry, Sharvari shares, “The toughest part of the journey isn’t just bagging your first film – it’s finding your footing before that, proving to yourself that you belong here.”
Recalling her early stints behind the camera, she fondly adds, “Being an Assistant Director was my way of staying connected to the industry, of learning, of picking up everything I could that would eventually make me a better actor.”
About navigating the pressure of staying relevant, Sharvari avers, “Showcasing different facets of my craft isn’t just about growth – it’s a necessity. Every role, every film has to work for me to sustain myself in this industry.”
Opening up about the kind of characters she’s naturally drawn to and how they resonate with her, she reveals, “Looking back at all the roles I’ve played so far, I realise that each of them has been a woman with agency – strong, driven, and in pursuit of something meaningful. At the end of the day, I, too, am chasing a dream.”
Speaking about Alpha, Yash Raj Films’ groundbreaking female-led spy thriller in which she shares screen space with Alia Bhatt, Sharvari enthuses, “It is one of the first female-led action films, where you have two women taking charge and being absolute badasses. It feels like breaking a glass ceiling, and that’s incredibly exciting. What makes this film special is that it’s not just about the action – it carries a strong message of empowerment. I truly hope it resonates with young women and inspires them to embrace their own strength.”
