Tara Alisha Berry who lost her golfer-father Gautam
Berry just two months ago, is stepping into Hindi films with a very
unusual debut vehicle.
Tara who was lately in the news for an unsavory property dispute
with her stepbrother Sikandar (Gautam Berry’s son from his first wife
Kirron Kher) will be seen as Hindi pornographic literature’s
resident-guru Mastram’s wife in Akhilesh Jaiswal’s film on the porn
litterateur.
When asked about her unusual choice for a debut Tara says, “It was
the script that clinched the deal for me. I had no clue who Mastram was.
But I simply fell in love with the script. The director Akhilesh
Jaiswal and I connected instantly.”
Tara was not put off by the porn theme. Tara elaborates, “The film
is about a porn writer. But there is nothing lurid or sleazy about the
content. I found that to be deliciously ironical. It’s a film about
India’s most well-known porn writer. But it’s porn-free.”
The debutant says the experience has made her confident about the
film industry. “It was a very fulfilling experience,” she exclaims.
Being from a celebrity family, Tara doesn’t mind struggling her way
into stardom. “I think my journey so far has been similar to anyone who
joins the entertainment business. I think it’s equally hard work for
film kids and for those who come from outside the film industry,” she
adds.
Alisha hasn’t sought anyone help in establishing a foothold in the
industry. “Help, no. But I got guidance from people like Sameer Sharma
(the director of ‘Luv Shuv Te Chicken Khurana’) , Anurag Kashyap and
Shanoo Sharma,” she asserts.
Still bereaved dad Tara recalls many golfing moments as a child
with her dad. “I remember I spent a lot of time as a kid at the US Club
putting while Dad played. But I never thought of golf as a profession,”
she concludes.
