“Because I am the daughter of Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar, people have expectat…” — Shriya Pilgaonkar

Mom is really my closest friend and has been there at every stage. She is the adventurous kinds and made me travel by train alone when I was just five.

Some basic things I have picked up from Dad is how to interpret my character correctly, use the camera to my advantage and how not to hurry up with work.

I am extremely fortunate to have such talented people as my parents. I will always turn to them for advice. But I am my own person and have my independent views.

I will definitely direct feature films one day.
