Too young in the industry to stick to a particular genre, admits Athiya Shetty!

Athiya Shetty is one movie old in the industry and is eagerly waiting for her next release "Mubarakan" in which she will don a girl-next-door image once again. Actress Athiya Shetty, but, feels that her work demands versatility and that she is too young to stick to a particular genre.

Athiya is in the capital to be the showstopper for designers Shyamal and Bhumika's maiden show at India Couture Week (ICW) 2017, here on Wednesday night.

Questioned if she will ever do non-glamorous roles as off screen, she is considered as one of the fashionable stars of B-Town, Athiya told, "Definitely. My work is my passion and it demands versatility. I would love to do roles which get out a different set of skills in me. Presently, I am too young in the industry to decide and stick to a particular genre."

Daughter of veteran actor Suniel Shetty, she made her debut in the 2015 romantic action movie "Hero", directed by Nikkhil Advani. The movie, a remake of veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai's eponymous 1983 directorial, saw her share screen space with Sooraj Pancholi.

Now in Anees Bazmee's "Mubarakan", she shares the frame with veteran actor Anil Kapoor and actors Arjun Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz. The movie is scheduled to hit the screens on Friday.

As much as she is thrilled about the audience's reaction to the movie, Athiya is also upbeat about being on the fashion runway.

"It's a great experience to walk the fashion runway. I have never felt any anxiety or nervousness as such. I have always been myself and associated with designers whose sensibilities and craft I can associate with. This makes it easy and comfortable for everyone involved," she told, while appreciating Shyamal and Bhumika's collection.


Speaking about her personal style statement, the 24-year-old tells, "Like most girls, I have always been fond of dressing up."
