Vandita Shrivastava, an MBA and Corporate Professional
turned actress and model, will be soon seen in R Balki's forthcoming film
"Shamitabh" starring Amitabh Bachchan. With this role, the 5 feet 7
inches tall actress, who found her passion in being infront of the camera, has
achieved her A-wishlist of working with Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Amitabh
Bachchan (and of course Anupam Kher and Anu Kapoor in "Shaukeens").
The daughter of an Army officer, Vandita feels blessed to
have experienced life in different cities and holds very high regards for the
Defence Forces. This intuitive actress, who is often mistaken for Sangeeta
Bijlani or Chitrangada, is keen to take the mantle of doing intense roles a la
the late Smita Patil. She got into offbeat mainstream films such as Vishal
Bhardwaj's film "Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mann Dola" and Reema Kagti's
"Talaash". However, she charted a totally commercial path by working
in the just released Akshay Kumar film ‘The Shaukeens’.
Imagine rejecting three of the most talented actors in
Bollywood – that is exactly what Vandita did in a role. The scene is
significant in the plot because its aftermath propels the protagonists to take
a decision to leave India and head to greener pastures abroad in Mauritius to
pursue their aspirations.
She says talking about her experiences. “The scene was shot
with all 3 actors Anuji, Anupamji and Piyushji. My main interaction during the
shoot was with Anuji. Apart from being one of the most versatile and celebrated
actors that we have ever had, he is also a very down to earth and spirited
person. He made us feel very comfortable during the shoot as it wasn’t easy for
us to shoot with three senior actors. He was very accommodating and patient and
has a great sense of humour and would make us laugh during the shoot! Anupamji
is super talented and everyone’s all time favourite actor, but unfortunately I
did not get a chance to interact with him during the shoot. Piyushji is a
lovely person and apart from being a great actor, i am a bigger fan of the amazing
singer that he is!”
This April born model & actress, is carving her own
niche in tinsel town. Meet the enigmatic Vandita Shrivastava… who has done
Movies, Short Films, Print Ads, TVCs, Catalogue shoots, Runway et al.
Endowed with a plethora of expressions, her look, feel and
persona transforms with each character or get-up and makes her stand out in a
world wherever wants to look the same! And yet her slim and slender frame (inspite
of being a gourmet) is the kind of personality that many mainstream actresses
crave for!
She adores SRK for his Charisma and Wit; John for his charm
& simplicity; Salman for Being a great Human, Akshay for his fitness and
energy; Anu Kapoor and Paresh Rawal for superb comedy timing! She feels all of
them are great actors and would love to work with all of them if she gets the
chance.
The daughter of an armed forces official, Vandita brings a
diligent discipline to her performance even though she doesn’t claim to be a
method actor. She claims that the camera sets her free to explore a world
beyond boundaries wherein her creativity transcends the divide between real
life and reel life!
Unlike others who deploy multiple performances to define
their body of work, Vandita is looking for one high impactful performance that
will etch her mark in the sands of time. And she believes that it is just
around the corner…
