Shriya Pilgaonkar - daughter of seasoned actors Sachin Pilgaonkar and Supriya Pilgaonkar, carved a niche for herself in the industry on her own merit. The actress did not stick or depend entirely on the traditional medium of entertainment, that is, television and films to satisfy her acting needs. She also delved into the medium of the digital world. Although she gained mileage in the Hindi film industry after her role in Shah Rukh Khan's film Fan, it's Mirzapur - the web show that gave her more prominence.
In an interview with mid-day journalist, Snigdha Hasan, Shriya spoke about her love for theatre and how the medium is different from the mainstream. She also added that she never thought of becoming an actor, and went on to speak how her college played an integral role in shaping her up as a person.
