As a teenager life in Kashmir was little different: Zaira Wasim

February 9, 2017

Mumbai, Feb 9: "Dangal" star Zaira Wasim says she grew up in Kashmir without going out much and had a slightly different teenage life as compared to others.

The young star said she always remained in her zone and didn't even see a huge hill next to her house.

When asked how was it growing up in Kashmir, Zaira said, "I was always in my own zone. I think my life was a little different from how the life of a 16-year-old person should be. I never went out much.

"My dad used to tell me stories that they used to go here and there. There is a huge hill right next to my house and I have never been there." The 16-year-old actress was speaking at the launch of Zuni Chopra's book "The House that Spoke".

Zaira said perhaps the biggest difference between youngsters belonging to different regions would be that they have different stories to share.

"Now, a 16 year old would be similar to the one in Mumbai or Delhi. There's no huge difference. But I think it could be that you might see a vast variety of opinions and views.

"They have different stories to tell you, they have their own ideas about almost everything. So, apart from that ideology I don't think there's any vast difference."

The Kashmir-set book published by Penguin, is the debut novel of Zuni, 15, daughter of filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and film critic Anupama Chopra.

Popular Bhojpuri actor Amrita Pandey was found dead in her apartment in Bihar's Bhagalpur last week on April 27, the police said. The cops suspect the actor, 27, died by suicide but the matter is under investigation.

The police said she posted a cryptic WhatsApp status before her death, which read, "Do naav me savaar thi uski zindagi, humne apni naav duba ke uska safar aasaan kar diya" (His/her life was sailing on two boats, we made the journey easy by sinking one). The cops have not recovered any suicide note. She is survived by her husband.

Amrita's family said she worried about her career as she was not getting enough work and was suffering from depression. The family said she was undergoing treatment for depression.

The actor lived in Mumbai with her husband, Chandramani Jhangad, an animation engineer. She went to Bhagalpur to attend her sister's wedding on April 18. Her husband returned home after the wedding but Amrita chose to stay back.

The actor has been alongside Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav in 'Deewanapan'. She also acted in Hindi movies, TV shows and web series. She is also known for her role in the web series 'Parishodh'.

City Superintendent of Police, Shri Raj, said we will conduct a high-level investigation into this case. A team has been formed, the family members are being interrogated and further action is underway in the case.
