I feel all labels are temporary assumptions, so I try not to take them seriously-Sapna Pabbi

“Digital shows have a massive reach globally which is why I love them,” says Sapna Pabbi, who has appeared in digital series such as Breathe, Four More Shots Please, and The Trip, among others. “I am really grateful for the opportunities I have been blessed with in my career so far. I came to Mumbai without a plan and it’s been seven years and I’m still enjoying the projects I get to be a part of. I think, it’s the best time to be an artiste, thanks to the web. It has opened so many doors for me. Though, I believe that it is the content that matters over the platform, overall,” she says.
After her last web show, Bombers, Sapna wrapped a cameo for a movie, which was recently shot in London, UK, and earlier shot for a short film with Aparshakti Khurana. “Apar is such a natural entertainer. We had a lot of fun on the shoot. He is so talented. He kept us up through the night shoots with his acoustic sing-alongs,” says Sapna, who is also excited that her film Drive co-starring Sushant Singh Rajput finally releasing on an OTT platform tomorrow.
Ask the actor if she has been typecast in the industry and Sapna says, “I really haven’t thought about that. But I do get that ‘series girl’ often, and, of course, the Khamoshiyan (2015) actor stuck for a bit. The songs of the film are still very popular. Personally, I feel all labels are temporary assumptions, so I try not to take them seriously. I make the choice whether they stick or not. Working on the web show, The Trip, changed things for me. I went for content that I enjoyed and believed in rather than thinking about the platform. And I’ve continued to work by that motto ever since,” she signs off.
I'm closest to Karan Darra, director of Khamoshiyan-Sapna Pabbi

Sapna Pabbi who has gone topless for her debut film admits to her growing friendship with her director
Sanyukta Iyer (MUMBAI MIRROR; January 5, 2014)
British-Indian actress Sapna
Pabbi is a familiar face on TV thanks to her role
as Anil Kapoor's daughter in 24 Season 1. Her big
screen debut in the horror film, Khamoshiyan, will be a lot more fiery,
thanks to a topless scene.
The 24-year-old plays Meera, a seductress who wants to own the souls of the two men in her life, played by Ali Fazal and Gurmeet Choudhary. But it was not the two shirtless men who caught Sapna's eye.“We all play sexy, interesting characters and have become good friends off-screen as well. But I'm closest to Karan (Karan Darra, the film's 23-year-old, single and ready to mingle director),“ she admits.
Khamoshiyan is loosely based on Ashok Kumar's 1949 film, Mahal, which revolved around a man who becomes obsessed with a beautiful ghost. Madhubala's Ayega aanewala haunts us even after six decades.
Stepping into the icon's shoes was a tough job for Sapna.“The Bhatts are very demanding and I was constantly pushed to do better. Fortunately, the character and I have a lot in common. Like Meera, I am not as smart as I think I am,“ she laughs. “And we both love to play mind games. I lose often, Meera never does, that's the basic difference.“
Sapna wants to continue playing powerful, dominating characters. “I could be an item-girl by day and a bandit-queen by night,“ she points out. “Like Rekha in Khoon Bhari Maang I'd love to chase a man on a horse with a whip in my hand,“she adds enthusiastically.
The model-turned-actor who has a three-film-deal with the Bhatts, has also started shooting for John Abraham and Shoojit Sircar's film, Satra Ko Shaadi Hai. “Someday, I hope to get a chance to work with all the Khans --Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir. And yes, Farhan Akhtar who is always ready to experiment with his roles. He walks into a film and it's an assured hit,“ she gushes.
