Aastha Sharma reveals rehearsing for 16 hours for a dance sequence in COLORS’ ‘Neerja… Ek Nayi Pehchaan’

Aastha Sharma, who essays the role of Neerja in COLORS’ ‘Neerja… Ek Nayi Pehchaan’ stunned the viewers with her graceful moves in a dance sequence. Basking in the appreciation that has come her way, the talented actor shares her transformative journey from being a non-dancer to grooving impeccably for the show. The storyline of the social drama focuses on Neerja trying to break free from Sonagachi and secure a life of dignity.

In the recent storyline, viewers will witness that Neerja must pay a price to rescue a few kids from Didun’s captivity. Despite her noble intentions, Abeer misunderstands her. At this point, the narrative features a dance sequence that Aastha was tasked to pull off. Aastha being a non-dancer had to take on the challenge of dancing and she levelled with it by rehearsing for 16 hours straight.

Speaking of her performance in the show Aastha Sharma says, “I needed to practise dancing because it’s not easy to pass off as a great dancer on camera when you aren’t one. Acing postures and dance moves can be very challenging for someone who is a non-dancer, but I had to rise to the occasion. I had my phone switched off and got to rehearsing the sequence for 16 hours straight. To my surprise, dancing felt like fun, and I thought I was frightened for no reason. I’m glad that I acquired a new skill through this show. I would like to thank the choreographer for being patient with me and making me feel at ease while learning the moves. The day I shot for this sequence felt like an exam. I’m happy that all my efforts paid off.”
