Speaking to IANS, the 'Mirzapur' actress shared, "Whenever I face any doubt, I definitely ask my parents, but the amazing thing is that despite having a huge experience, they always try to enable me to ask the right questions from myself. They never instruct me to do or not do a certain thing, instead, they ask me to clear the doubt in my mind. Many a time, I refrain from discussing my work with them as I want them to witness it as an audience, and give me genuine feedback."
Sharing the best part of having actor parents, Shriya said, "The best part is if I have to work on a dialect or have any query regarding any language, I have the luxury to ask them. Whenever they see my work, they see it as an audience, and give me genuine feedback."
Work-wise, Shriya recently graced the screen as a police officer for the drama "Chhal Kapat The Deception".
As part of her preparation for the role, Shriya talked to the female police officers of Uttar Pradesh, including ADG Padmaja Chauhan.
Additionally, she was also introduced to 1090, a cutting-edge women's redressal helpline in the state.
Talking about how her interaction with the female officers, enriched her character Devika, she revealed, "It gave me newfound love for my character in 'Chhal Kapat The Deception'. Devika, the character I play, isn't just a cop-she's a woman balancing her own pain and past while standing tall in the face of injustice.

It is like meditation; it is a great stress reliever and promotes positive inflow, which I really enjoy. That's the main reason I do Iyengar yoga; the physical benefits are secondary" and continues, 'Today there is one form of yoga which I call the fashion yoga. They play loud music and do yoga. That is not the real practice. The real practice is going within yourself. One shouldn't do yoga with loud music and mirrors around as it distracts the senses. For me, Iyengar yoga works the best."

‘Maharaj' director says his intention was not to cause controversy but tell honest story of journalist with his film
Mumbai: Director Siddharth P. Malhotra, whose film 'Maharaj' has clocked a year of its release, has shared that they didn't intend to ruffle the feathers with the film, and only wanted to tell an honest story of a journalist. The director spoke with IANS recently, and shared how he pitted actors Junaid Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat. The film marked Junaid's debut, and saw him going head to head with Jaideep, who essayed the titular role of the antagonist. Talking about the process of approaching the characters, the director told IANS, 'We had done a lot of rehearsals and reading. It is my responsibility as a director to bring Jaideep in front of the camera. You know what you are doing from the first day. So, if you could not deliver that confidence, it is your mistake as a director. Sharvari did not play such a role. She could have been a ham. She could have gone wrong if she would have done the acting loudly. But she did it well. We trained Sharvari and Junaid in the same house. It was a lot of hard work'. He further mentioned, 'Our intention was very pure. We were not making a film for controversy. We were making a story of a journalist who fought for women when the MeToo movement did not even exist. The message of the film is that you belong to your God'. 'Junaid and Karsan say that as a society, if we do not change our perspective, we will go on for thousands of years. The names of such gurus would have changed but the social evil would have stayed. Karsan, Junaid's character, dared to change that', he added. 'Maharaj' is based on journalist and social reformer Karsandas Mulji, and sees Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan's son - Junaid playing the protagonist. Having studied at the Elphinstone College in Mumbai, Karsandas Mulji, was a protege of the scholar-leader Dadabhai Naoroji. He was a member of the Gujarati Gnanprasarak Mandalli (Gujarati Society for the Spread of Knowledge), and was a friend of prominent Gujarati reformists such as poet Narmad and educationist Mahipatram Neelkanth. He came under fire of conservative Gujarati society of its time because of his article, which criticised Vaishnava Archaryas (Hindu religious leaders) for their behaviour. The article resulted in the Maharaj Libel Case in 1862 on which the film is based. The film was released on Netflix.
