‘Rautu Ka Raaz’ star Nitasha Sharma overcomes fear of losing her voice before shooting, reveals how she got her voice back (EXCLUSIVE)

Nitasha Sharma’s journey in the entertainment industry is a testament to her versatility and determination. Born in Batala, Punjab, India, she moved to Vancouver, Canada at a young age. She soon made a splash as Miss British Columbia 2014 and Miss Canada Globe 2014, winning the People’s Choice Award along the way.

Her career spans a wide range of achievements including a notable appearance in a 7up commercial directed by Shimit Amin, a cameo appearance in the Punjabi film ‘Honsla Rakh’ where she shares the screen with Diljit Dosanjh and also her appearance in Jimmy Shergill’s ‘Hero Naam Yaad Rakhi’.

She recently recounted a harrowing experience she had just before the shoot of Rautu Ka Raaz, during which she battled a severe bout of fever and almost lost her voice. The incident, which almost jeopardised her performance, underlined her resilience and dedication to her craft.

“I don’t know what happened before the day of shooting,” said Nitasha. “I had a fever and a sore throat and almost lost my voice. I also panicked because the shoot was scheduled for the next day.”

Faced with this serious setback, Nitasha urgently reached out to her medical team. “I asked my doctor to do everything possible,” she explained. “Through a combination of medication and fervent prayers, I miraculously got my voice back just in time for the shoot.”

Her portrayal of the character Naina in Rautu Ka Raaz opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui underlined her ability to make a lasting impression in key roles despite her screen presence. “Playing Naina was crucial to the film’s plot,” Nitasha shared. “The character’s presence had a profound impact on the narrative, especially the protagonist’s dilemma regarding love and fidelity.”

Looking ahead, Nitasha remains focused on exploring new opportunities and challenging roles that will push her artistic boundaries. While Nitasha Sharma continues to navigate her career with grace and determination, her recent ordeal serves as a reminder of the challenges artists face in maintaining their standards of performance.
