S haron Prabhakar, who burst onto the Mumbai stage belting out Don’t Cry For Me Argentina in the 1980s with Alyque Padamsee’s version of Evita, is ready to take her act to the Bollywood screen. Yes, she can act, dance, sing, and thanks to some Punjabi blood in her, Sharon can speak the language fluently and has been called to play a Punjabi character in the comedy Baa, Bahu aur Sensex. This at a time when her pretty daughter Shazahn is toying with the idea of getting into Bollywood herself.
“People said, movies and Sharon! And for a long time I thought this way too. But the family supported me. It began when Kirron Kher heard me speak Punjabi and was amazed. Then came producer Jayshree Makhija and director Sheona Mitra with the movie script. It sort of fell into place,” reports Sharon.
Initial anxiety gave way to confidence with the first few takes of Baa, Bahu aur Sensex, an Indian version of Desperate Housewives. “I’m among four women who invest hard-earned kitty party income in shares. Farooque Sheikh plays the share broker. And then a riot of incidents happen as we ensure that the share market does not crash,” reveals the debutante actress.
There’s no way of knowing, as yet, if Sharon sings in the film.
