'This Is It': Shefali Shah Demands Fair Treatment On Sets, Says She Is 'Not Asking For Stars And Moon'

Shefali Shah, the National Award and International Emmy-winning actor, is currently basking in the success of Delhi Crime Season 3. Fresh off success, she has become an unexpected force for change in an industry where demanding basic necessities is often seen as disruptive. In a candid conversation with NDTV, she admitted that even now, standing up for herself comes with an undercurrent of guilt.

"Luckily, I’ve worked with people who are respectful and sensitive," said Shefali. She also pointed to the other side of the industry—producers who quietly discourage actors from asserting their needs with phrases like, "Avoid this for now, it can’t happen." "Now I’m like, this is it. You can’t tell me I won’t have a van with a toilet. Let’s be realistic," she asserted.

"If I know we’re in a village with only one shade, of course I’ll sit under it," she said, adding, "I’m not asking you to build a hotel." "But if you can give something and you choose not to because you think I’m not worth it, then it’s okay—let’s not work together," she went on to state.
