India, Oct. 26 -- Actor Paridhi Sharma will make her film debut next month with Haq, a transition she calls a 'big one.' She plays Iram, the sister of actor Emraan Hashmi's character. The story struck a personal chord with her, given its roots in a real-life case from her hometown. "When the film came my way and I was on-board, I was like, 'Oh! This story is a real-life incident of the famous Shah Bano case, and it took place in Indore in the '80s.' It's my home town, so I had already heard about it," the 38-year-old actor says. The film has come under legal scrutiny after the late Shah Bano's daughter sent a notice to the filmmakers and the Central Board of Film Certification, seeking an immediate stay on its release. On this, Paridhi says, "We live in a democracy; someone, somewhere will and can object to certain things, especially if a film is based on true events. Yeh toh hona tha hi because the film is based on a true incident. With such films, we always have different thoughts and perceptions. While shooting, we focused on treating the story with complete honesty." Paridhi marks 15 years in the industry, known for shows like Jodha Akbar and Patiala Babes, though she has been away from screens recently. "After doing TV for the longest time, I decided that I needed to unlearn and switch to films. That's why I took a break for over three-and-a-half years," she says, adding, "I trained, did workshops, and then got this film. Next month will start shooting for a film in Kashmir which also features (actor) Rajeev Khandelwal."...
