Pashmina Roshan To Uphold Family Legacy In Bollywood Debut Ishq Vishk Rebound

Pashmina Roshan, the first in her family to enter Bollywood since Hrithik Roshan's debut in "Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai", is ready to make a name for herself. Daughter of composer Rajesh Roshan and Hrithik's cousin, Pashmina acknowledges the expectations as she readies for her first film, "Ishq Vishk Rebound".

Pashmina says, "I come from a family of great artistes. The audience cherishes everything my father, my uncle, and my cousin have done. Their art is immortal and I hope one day I will be able to match up to that. I don't see it as pressure as much as a dream to work towards."

For Pashmina, shaping her career means blending personal aspirations with family legacy. "Hrithik stands for his own values while carrying forward the family legacy. I hope I'm able to do the same. I want to create work that I am proud of. I am nervous. It's nervousness filled with happiness though," she said.

Breaking into Bollywood

In an earlier interview, producer Ramesh Turani revealed that he learned Pashmina was a star kid only when the company started drawing up her contracts. Regarding how she landed this role, Pashmina clarifies, "They are all so busy doing their own work. My family is of course invested, but you don't sit and tell them of every audition you do, or every person you meet. This is one of the many auditions that I gave. Also, you don't enter a room or meeting and say, 'Hi, I'm Pashmina Roshan, I am Rajesh Roshan's daughter.' No one does that. Adding to that, I'm not known in the movie circle. I know there is a lot of privilege, but it is like a ladder; ultimately, a person has to climb by themselves."

In essence, Pashmina Roshan looks forward to establishing herself while respecting her family's cinematic heritage, aiming to leave her mark in Bollywood on her own merit.
