Ms. Namita Nayyar
Mahira, you started your career as a model, henceforth you appeared in a lot of tv shows and reality shows, tell us how has your journey been and how did you decide to be an actor
Ms. Mahira Sharma
I started my career at a young age I was just a teenager when I started working in Yaaron ke Tashan. Since childhood, everyone told me to do acting. This was when I was in Jammu and that’s when I decided I’ll become an actor and move to my mother’s place. But when the time came my interests kept changing. After some time I thought of giving it a shot anyway and gave two auditions and got rejected as I looked younger than the character demanded, although they were offering other roles which didn’t interest me. And then in my third audition, I got finalized for Yaaro ke Tashan. Eventually, I came back where my heart was. I did this show for one year in 2016. Then in 2017 I took a break again and just enjoyed my teenage but at the same time, I even signed a few shows from which I got replaced overnight for no reason at all. Which was a very hard time for me. Then in 2018 was offered a role in Naagin, which was a negative role.
I was very scared and a bit skeptical about the role. I was worried whether I’ll be able to do a negative character rather should I do it at the point where my career was just starting. But I overcame these thoughts and decided to do it. On my first day at the shoot, I was very nervous because there were all the crew and the other actors as well. But my nervousness vanished when all the crew and co-actors clapped after I gave my first shot. It was a very proud moment for me and that cheered me up a lot. Then I was offered a negative role in Kundali Bhagya. My performance in the show received so much love and praise from the audience that my track got extended. My character originally had only a two-month track which later got extended to 8-9 months. After which the show’s fans still wanted me to make a comeback on that show and I did do that. Later I was again offered a role in another Balaji show Bepanah Pyaar which I could do only for a month because by that time I had to go to the Bigboss House. After Bigboss I did music videos like Gal karke, Lehenga, Relation which have crossed more than 100 million views each and have received immense love from everyone.

Ms. Namita Nayyar
You appeared in Bigg Boss 13, which by record considered the most successful season, tell us about your experience on the show, and why did you think your season became the most successful
Ms. Mahira Sharma
Before Bigboss13 I was about offered the previous seasons as well but I couldn’t enter Season 11 due to my prior work commitments and in season 12 I was offered wild card entry but I didn’t want to be a wild card entry. I wanted to be there from day 1. And that’s how I entered Season 13. The thing about Season 13 was that everything was genuine. Most of us were new to this had we hadn’t watched the previous seasons closely. We didn’t enter the house with a plan about how we will play our game. And this added to the genuineness of the game. After all, it is a fact that people love you for being real. And that’s the reason why Season 13 was a hit and is considered the most successful season to date. I’m grateful that I got to be a part of this season.
Ms. Namita Nayyar
Women Fitness India talks about celebrity diets and fitness regimes, do you follow any special diets? Being a Kashmiri your favorite delicacy
Ms. Mahira Sharma
Before Bigboss I didn’t give any special attention to my diet. I used to work out regularly but I ate whatever I felt like eating as I didn’t even have the proper knowledge. But as I am growing ahead in my life I’ve understood the importance of following a proper diet. So now I follow a strict diet and work out accordingly.
Ms. Namita Nayyar
Physical fitness plays a very important role in one’s life, what comprises our fitness regime? How do you manage your workouts while traveling
Ms.Mahira Sharma
Managing your workout schedule while traveling gets very difficult at times. I make sure that I don’t even miss a single workout session but at times when I’m traveling internationally sometimes, I tend to miss my workout session. In such events, I make sure that I focus more on diet.
Ms. Namita Nayyar
Mental fitness is also important along with physical fitness, how do take care of your mental health
Ms. Mahira Sharma
Yes, of course, mental fitness is as important as physical fitness. If you focus on your mental health it adds up to your physical fitness. When you’re mentally happy you have a very different glow on your face and you feel more confident from inside.
I take care of my mental health by avoiding taking too much unnecessary stress. I avoid focusing on negative things and try to look at the brighter side of everything. I focus more on positivity to be mentally healthy.
Ms. Namita Nayyar
Do you plan to do more reality shows in the future? Upcoming projects and future plans for 2022
Ms.Mahira Sharma
I’ve been a part of India’s biggest reality show BigBoss in one of the most successful seasons. I am keeping myself away from Khatron ke Khiladi because I’m scared of heights and insects. So as of now, I’m not interested in doing reality shows. But in the future, I might. Now I’m focusing more on my acting performances which I have not been able to do in 2021 because of Lockdown. I have done a lot of music videos and I’ll continue to do so. Along with music videos, you’ll be getting to see me in films and web series.
Ms. Namita Nayyar
Lastly, you are an inspiration to many young girls, having achieved so much at a young age your message for our readers who aspire to be like you
Ms. Mahira Sharma
Firstly I’m grateful for being able to inspire young girls because when I have been that girl who was inspired by other actors. I have been very filmy since my childhood. I’ve spent a lot of time watching some of the greatest actors like Mumtaz, Rekha, Juhi Chawla, and Kareena Kapoor. I used to try and act like them looking at the mirror and since then I’ve dreamt of being like them someday. I myself haven’t achieved that much yet and I’m still working towards achieving more in life but one thing that I’ve learned so far and would like to pass it on is that hard work is a virtue. Along with hard work you should be able to face rejections as well and never stop believing in yourself.
