Helly revealed that she has turned down projects that didn’t align with her values. She then recalled how she once got a huge project and was surprised to get a message about being a part of it. Without naming anyone, she added, “But I asked them, are you approaching me or are you just pitching my name? So they said we are approaching you. I said okay, great. Then there was this huge message, ‘There is a condition,’ You will have to come to a certain place and this and that. I said, please find somebody else. I cannot do it.’”
Helly Shah and Tejasswi Prakash worked together on the Colors TV show Swaragini – Jodein Rishton Ke Sur, which aired from 2015 to 2016. The daily drama, set around the lives of two half-sisters, Swara and Ragini, featured Helly as Swara and Tejasswi as Ragini. The show gained popularity during its run and contributed to the growing recognition of both actors in the television industry.
Speaking to IANS, she explained that the role went beyond simply depicting pregnancy—it required capturing the character’s inner world, including her fears, strength, and the profound bond with the life growing inside her. Reflecting on her journey, Helly shared how each role pushes her emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically, helping her grow as an actor with every character she brings to life.
