Shortcut is based on cyber crime. Today cyber crimes have become an integral part of our day to day lives and they are increasing in number day by day. To get rich quick and to get instant fame youth of today are misusing ‘the shortcut’ methods. What happens when such shortcuts take you path of crmes and how these repercussions will affect their lives! Vaibhav Tattvavadi plays a hacker in this film. It has a very thrilling storyline and I think youth will be able to connect with this film. I play role of Ishika. She is a college-going girl; this role actually suits my present age. So I did not to do any special preparations. I feel I am representing today’s generation which was fun to do.

Luckily, I am not! I don’t have that urge to stay connected at each and every second. Social media is a wonderful experience, but one has to understand all the pros and cons about it before using all this apps. I like to stay in touch with my near and dear ones and fans through social media. However this interaction has to be in moderation.

I am already in love with this album. Actually, six composers have given music for this film. Nilesh Mohrir, Sushant Shankar, Premanand, Punit Dixit, Chand Sadhwani and Nick are the music directors. Makhmali, a song composed by Nilesh Mohrir had received so many views on youtube. The album has some nice sift romantic numbers and some foot tapping dance numbers. I hope audience will like these songs.

Ans: After release of shortcut, I am busy with four more projects. Curently, I am shooting for Damalelya Babachee kahani with Sandeep Khare. This is a very emotionally touching film. Then I am working on Bhaya, Hatke Love Story, and Shinma.

Ans: Yes. Actually, I would like to do some television as well but with such projects in my hand I cannot commit for television.

Q. You are basically from Pune and travels between Mumbai and Pune for work? Which city you like?

Ans: That’s a tough one. I like Mumbai and Pune both. Mumbai is very mysterious and intriguing- this city is just like a dream. However, I grew up in Pune. Pune is like my home. I just love the vibe of this town. I will always love Pune, no matter what where I am staying.

Q. Nowadays, everybody has become health conscious. How do you stay fit?
