Actress, Ahsaas Channa is now best recognised for her role as ‘Vinny’ in the popular Netflix show, Mismatched. Not only is her character much loved by audiences, but her chemistry with her co-star, Taaruk Raina has fans touting them as the best pairing in the show. Ahsaas has certainly come a long way since her debut as a child artist playing boy roles. Recently, the actress reflected on her career trajectory and shared some interesting anecdotes about her child actress days.
Ahsaas Channa’s mother stopped her from playing boy roles so it wouldn’t ‘mess’ with her head
Ahsaas Channa first won hearts when she played boy roles in films such as Vaastu Shastra, My Friend Ganesha, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. However, her mother stopped her from playing such roles when she was at the cusp of puberty. Revealing that her mom feared playing a boy on-screen would ‘mess’ with her head, Ahsaas told the Hindustan Times:
“I was always very aware of the fact that I am a girl. I was told multiple times that you are just acting and this is just a character you are playing. I used to go to school and lived my life as Ahsaas, so I was aware that this was all just in front of the camera. But still, because I was getting older and about to get into my teens soon, my mother did not want to mess with my head during puberty. It was the perfect time for me to stop doing those roles, take a break and return.”
