Delhi girl Vaani Kapoor says she was a bundle of nerves while shooting her debut film 'Shuddh Desi Romance' opposite Parineeti Chopra and Sushant Singh Rajput as she had no prior acting experience.
Kapoor, who was picked through an audition to play the third angle in the Jaipur-set love story by Yash Raj Films, says she felt a sense of responsibly to perform as well as the other big names that the banner has launched.
"When I got selected for the movie, it seemed more of a challenge and responsibility than fun. But, now that the film has done well at the box office, I am enjoying the process more. I was scared about disappointing my director Maneesh Sharma and Adi (Aditya Chopra)," Vaani told PTI.
The 21-year-old model-turned-actress has signed a three movie contract with the banner and is currently filming the Tamil/Telugu remake of 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. The film marks banner's debut in South.
"My role is on the lines of Anushka Sharma. It is a December release and I am almost on the verge of wrapping the filming. The story is same but the cultural references are different. We have taken the essence of the original movie and made it for an entirely new audience," she said.
Vaani says acting did not seem like a practical choice while she was growing up as she had no film background.
"I always had a thought about acting but it never seemed practical to take it as an option because I do not have acting or theatre background. I am not from Bombay and shifting my base there from Delhi where I don't know anybody in the city and in the industry seemed quite impractical," she said.
