Shehnaaz Gill

Actress Shehnaaz Gill is currently enjoying her getaway in Mauritius and shared a sneak peek into the holiday. Shehnaaz took to Instagram and shared a video of herself at her resort.

The actress is seen walking on the beach in a white shirt paired with black shorts, and then playing with water.

The video, which features 'Aye Udi Udi' from the film 'Saathiya' as the background music, ends with Shehnaaz sharing a glimpse of the picturesque locale.

The actress captioned the video with the lyrics of the song: "Aye udi udi... Aye khwaabon kii burii…"

The song was originally picturised on actress Rani Mukerji and Vivek Oberoi and is sung by music composer Adnan Sami. Released in 2002, 'Saathiya' was directed by Shaad Ali. It revolves around a couple, who despite heavy opposition from their parents, run away and get married. However, their fairy-tale romance develops cracks.

Shehnaaz began her journey in the Punjabi showbiz industry with the music video 'Shiv Di Kitaab' in 2015. She then appeared in 'Majhe Di Jatti' and 'Pindaan Diyan Kudiyaan' in 2016. In 2017, she made her acting debut in the Punjabi film 'Sat Shri Akaal England'.

The actor, a known name in Punjabi movies, shot to fame with her stint on the 13th season of reality show "Bigg Boss" in 2019 and made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan's "Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan" last year. The 29-year-old actor said she is often approached with roles which are closer to her real self and she now wants to break the cycle. "Don't judge a book by its cover, read me carefully. They (makers) are thinking of me in a certain way. I feel they want to show my real-self on screen but I can't be doing only this kind of role. Like, recently I heard a script, in which I'm playing a beautiful girl who is an internet sensation. "This is my reality and I want to break this notion in films. I want to do something different on screen. I would like filmmakers to take risks and present me in a different way. I'm willing to do a workshop and all. I believe my talent just gives me a chance to do different things," Gill told PTI in an interview. As an actor, she wants to develop her own process for playing a character, which includes preparation and improvisation.
