Akshara Finds Comparisons With Her Parents 'Unfair'

Darpan News Desk IANS, 30 Jan, 2015 12:23 PM
  • Akshara Finds Comparisons With Her Parents 'Unfair'
Actress Akshara Haasan, ready to make inroads in Bollywood with "Shamitabh", finds comparisons with the talent of her parents - Kamal Haasan and Sarika - unfair.
 
Akshara, who is sharing screen space with actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Dhanush in the R. Balakrishnan-directed "Shamitabh", told IANS, "It's unfair to compare me with my parents because their experience is too much...so we can't compare.
 
"My parents have done lots of films and to reach that level is not possible. I don't think I can reach the level that my parents have achieved. Wherever I can reach, I will focus on that."
 
Akshara, whose sister Shruti too is an actress, says she's thankful to get a "guru and friend" in her director.
 
"Balki sir is my director, but he is also my guru and a dear friend. He has guided me so well and he has so much faith in me. He has encouraged me a lot," she said.
