Sayyeshaa Saigal, who made her big Bollywood debut in “Shivaay” said here on Wednesday that working in the film was a learning experience for her.

“For the first time, I saw a film camera on the set. I didn’t have any reference when I went to the set of Akhil (her first Telegu film)… I learnt there about the angles and lighting. However, of course, ‘Shivaay’ set up and the unit was much bigger … it was a very big learning experience for me,” she said in an exclusive interview.

“As I continue to work, I think I will be able to learn with every film,” she added.

Sharing the experience of working with Ajay Devgn, Sayyeshaa, 19, said, “The best part about Ajay Devgn sir is his calmness. In spite of being a superstar, he is such a humble person. If you ever have a tea with him, you won’t even realise he is such a big star.”

“As an actor he is spontaneous. He didn’t have to do rehearsals before the scenes which I learnt from him. He always used to tell me throw dialogues as if you would do at home. Speak naturally and don’t overact,” the young actress added.

About the film’s feedback and the clash with Karan Johar’s “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, the actress said, “The comments which I received so far are good. Both the films are good so both will get a good run at box office.”

Sayyeshaa, who is the grandniece of veteran actors Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu, said she took tips from them about how to prepare before going on the set.

“They told me that how they used to prepare the dialogues before going to the set. They used to make notes putting right conjunctions between the lines. Saira ji suggested me to learn Odissi dance,” She said.

While she rubbished the news of being part of Salman Khan’s next or doing any single opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, Sayyeshaa said she has finalised one script which she will be announcing soon.

Actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn says he fears losing stardom and it would affect him if he stops receiving love from his fans.

“I fear losing my stardom. Yes, you do have that fear … at the end of the day, you get this habit of getting love from people and suddenly if it stops, it really affects you,” Ajay told IANS.

“I think I have opened up. I have been forced to open up, but still I think I am quite reserved,” added the 46-year-old.

The movie marks acting debut of Sayyeshaa Saigal, grand niece of veteran actor Dilip Kumar. “Shivaay” will release on October 28.

Ajay Devgn’s upcoming Bollywood film “Shivaay” does not feature Pakistani actress Saba Qameer, the official representative of the movie said on Friday. “Actress Saba Qamar or any other Pakistani actor or actress is not a part of ‘Shivaay’,” read a statement issued by the movie’s publicist on behalf of the filmmakers.
There was speculation that Saba is a part of the action-oriented thriller. But the clarification comes in the wake of ongoing developments wherein the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena and the Indian Motion Pictures Producers’ Association have demanded a ban on Pakistani artistes working in India.
In an ensuing development, certain cinema chains in Pakistan have decided to withdraw the release and exhibition of Indian movies.

“Shivaay” is directed and produced by Ajay Devgn, who also stars in it. Also starring Vir Das, Sayyeshaa Saigal and Erika Kaar, the movie will hit the screens on October 28.
