How Did Acting Happen

In an interview with The Times of Indian, Mahashweta revealed about how she got into acting. She said,

When I was four years old, I used to watch movies on television and I would try to imitate the actors or actresses. I love watching movies in all the languages and I would enact scenes from the movies in front of my parents. They would appreciate my acting. I had a habit of saving money and I would never spend it on anything. One day I gave all my savings to my father and told him that I wanted to act in movies. Seeing my interest and passion for acting, my father approached his director friend Sujith Das from Kerela, who gave me my first break in the short film, Aarodu Paruyum.”

Career

Mahashweta started her acting career with a Malayalam short film titled “Aarodu Paruyum” (To Whom Should I Tell), released in 2019. In the film, she played the role of a little girl child who craved for love and attention from her parents, who were busy with electronic devices such as mobile smartphones, thus, she could not find someone to whom she could express her problems.

In 2020, she acted in another Malayalam short film, “Grandma Toy,” in which she played the role of an orphaned girl who helps senior citizens at an old age home.
