ELLE India's video: ELLECoverStar: Athiya Shetty

: In the see-and-be-seen playground of showbiz, the modern celebrity is constructed in the crucible of the ‘next big’—the next big banner film, the next coveted red carpet, the next must-have endorsement. Choosing to intentionally step off the hamster wheel can appear blasphemous, but in the eight years since Athiya Shetty’s name made its way to the box office, she has chosen to decisively space her outings on celluloid. It is an elegant flipping of the script, one that bristles with a fortitude that belies her years as she consciously seeks out stories that can stir her emotions. ___________________________________ ELLE India Editor: Ainee Nizami Ahmedi Videographer: Nirvair Singh Rai Fashion Editor: Zoha Castelino (styling) Asst.
