Sejal Shah has been a part of Gujarati stage for over a decade now. And theatre is, still, her greatest love. The first in the family to put on pancake and take to the stage, Sejal faced a lot of hurdles. In fact, her debut was also a rush job. An amateur children's theatre production was falling short of a young girl. And Sejal stepped in. Only to never look back.Her first full-fledged commercial venture, Fareb, opened the doors for Gujarati theatre. To date, she has acted in nearly 10 Gujarati blockbusters. And she intends to stick to it. "It's more commercial. I have a show almost everyday," she says.
And despite her busy schedule, she manages to find time for television. Currently, in Hasratein as Savi's friend, Sejal has also signed another project, Shuruwat, which will be aired in May.
She is also open to films, if she is offered good character roles. "At my age -- even though she won't tell you her exact age -- I cannot play the heroine of a film," says Sejal, candidly.
