Natasha: I think the first audition I gave was for an ad. No, I didn’t crack it. I didn’t get a callback for that. But then I think I gave a lot of other auditions and then the first gig I cracked was India’s Next Superstars.
Shray: Unlike these guys, I did not initially get it. I think I probably did like 50 odd auditions to get my first project. I was very nervous initially when I was giving my auditions. That’s when I switched to modelling because I think that was the easiest thing to move to. The first thing I got was a project for MPD which was shot in Israel.
