EXCLUSIVE: Shriyam Bhagnani On Establishing Her Identity As An Actor; Says, “I Don’t See My Surname As The Defining Factor”

Being born into a film family often comes with its own set of expectations and challenges. While having a connection to the industry can bring recognition, it can also lead to questions about an actor’s journey and individual achievements. Actress Shriyam Bhagnani, who comes from the Bhagnani family, recently opened up about establishing her own identity in the entertainment industry.

Shriyam Bhagnani On Nepotism In Bollywood

In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Shriyam was asked whether carrying a well-known surname made it difficult for her to prove herself as an actor rather than being recognised through her family background.

Interestingly, the actress shared that her surname has not played a major role in the challenges she has faced during her career. According to her, the conversation around her family background usually begins after a project releases rather than during auditions or the actual process of getting work.

Sharing her experience, Shriyam said, “Interestingly, I don’t think my surname plays a significant role in the challenges I’ve faced while establishing myself as an actor. When I’m working on a film or auditioning for a project, my experience doesn’t necessarily feel different because of my surname. It tends to become a point of conversation after a project releases and people begin discussing my background.”

She further explained that nobody has directly placed specific expectations on her because of her family. The actress believes that building a career in acting depends on individual efforts, work and experiences rather than one’s surname.

Talking about how she approaches her journey, Shriyam added, “As for expectations, I haven’t had people explicitly express that they expect something particular from me because of my family. I’ve always looked at acting as something I need to build through my own work and experiences. I don’t see my surname as the defining factor in that journey.”

Shriyam’s perspective highlights her approach towards building a career on her own terms. Rather than allowing her family background to define her professional journey, the actress believes in letting her work and performances speak for themselves.
