Sajal Aly credits Hollywood project for boosting confidence more than a decade of work in Pakistan

Sajal Aly shared that her artistic inspiration derives from the diverse individuals in her life. While she holds immense admiration for her mother, her ongoing source of inspiration comes from the people she encounters during shoots and the compelling stories that surround them.

"Every day brings a new inspiration. Currently, my house help serves as a source of inspiration," she said.

Opening up about her inspiration drawn from her house help, Sajal shared that she developed a strong bond with her during childhood. Reflecting on the reason behind their beautiful connection, she explained, "It's because I witnessed her working tirelessly, leaving her children behind to ensure their education and other needs were met despite facing numerous difficulties."

Discussing her experience working on the Hollywood romantic comedy film 'What's Love Got to Do with It,' the 'Kuch Ankahi' actor revealed her initial fears about the international project. However, she credited the supportive people around her who instilled confidence and encouraged her to embrace the opportunity and explore the global stage.

She shared her immense enjoyment of the unique experience working on a foreign project, explaining that the director of the movie, Shekhar Kapur, played a pivotal role in creating a comfortable atmosphere for everyone.

"Shekhar Kapur had a very subtle approach," Sajal disclosed. "When he needed to offer feedback to an actor for improvement in their craft, he would convey it so quietly that others couldn't hear him,” she added. 

The 'Ishq E Laa' actor highlighted that working on a foreign project for 3 to 4 months proved to be a transformative experience, significantly boosting her confidence that surpassed what she learned in her entire career of 10 to 12 years working in Pakistan.
