Actress Ahsaas Channa is one of the most skilled and adored star of Indian digital entertainment space. She has starred in several successful web shows and YouTube skits in recent years. As of now, the actress is known for playing beautiful yet bold feminine characters but at the start of her career, Ahsas played some male characters in big budget movies.
She made her debut at the age of five by playing Sushmita Sen's son in the film 'Vaastu Shastra' and then she went on to play Shahrukh Khan's son in 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'. During a recent conversation with IANS, Ahsas said, "Honestly speaking, I do not really know what else to be except for being an actor. From the time I did my first audition, I loved the camera. I also felt special as a child because everyone would say ‘she is such a cute baby’. In fact, when I gave an audition for ‘Vaastu Shastra’, of course, I was too young and my mother took me there. Initially, the makers did not mention if it was a part for a boy or a girl. But eventually, because they loved the audition so much, they asked my mother if it was okay to cut my hair and play a boy on-screen.”
The actress further added, "That film went so well that everyone started offering me the role of a boy. My next film ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ in which I play Arjun, the son of Shah Rukh Khan, also got a lot of attention. But eventually, we realised that I am growing up and my on-screen image is becoming that of a boy! In real life when people would see me wearing a dress, they would wonder, because my on-screen cute boy image was strong. Also, my pressure of studies was increasing so after a point I stopped acting for some.
