Sheen Dass on Her Acting Journey: “TV Taught Me Everything”
Actress Sheen Dass, known for her strong performances in television and her role in Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, is now making waves with her upcoming fantasy series, Aami Dakini – Husn Bhi, Maut Bhi. In an exclusive conversation with IANS, the actress reflected on her evolving journey across mediums.
No Barriers Between TV and Film
Contrary to the common narrative of a tough shift from television to Bollywood, Dass says her journey has been smooth:
“I didn’t really feel there was a huge difference. TV actors today are exploring films and web series too. I haven’t experienced any bias personally.”
She emphasized that her opportunities came through auditions, not connections:
“Whether it’s a movie or a web show, I’ve auditioned like everyone else. If the directors liked me, they gave me the opportunity. No one asked me where I came from.”
Gratitude for Television Roots
The actress continues to value her beginnings in the small screen industry.
“TV has taught me everything I know—I will always be grateful for it. I’m proud to have worked in TV and continue to do so.”
New Project: Aami Dakini – Husn Bhi, Maut Bhi
Sheen’s next big project is an edge-of-the-seat fantasy drama titled Aami Dakini – Husn Bhi, Maut Bhi. She plays Dakini, a mystical yet deeply human character.
A Role Unlike Any Other
Calling it a very different experience, Sheen revealed:
“I’ve never played such a character before. Dakini isn’t just a ghost—she’s a deeply emotional and layered character.”
According to her, Dakini is:
- A simple woman blessed with magical powers
- A graceful dancer
- Someone who loves deeply but is left broken after betrayal
- A soul who carries hope even after death
This complexity made the role both challenging and fulfilling:
“As an actor, this role has been a great opportunity to explore those emotions.”
Not Just Horror—It’s Fantasy
Clearing up any confusion about the genre, Sheen added:
“It has evolved into more of a fantasy drama. So we’re treating it more like a fantasy series rather than a typical horror show.”
Why This Story Matters
Sheen Dass’s story reflects a broader shift in the Indian entertainment industry, where the line between television, cinema, and streaming is quickly fading:
- TV actors like her are now confidently stepping into films and OTT platforms
- Projects like Aami Dakini show that genre-blending fantasy dramas are gaining popularity

As Bollywood becomes more inclusive and web platforms rise, actors like Sheen are redefining versatility and creative courage.
