"I've always believed for an actor it's very important and integral to try and learn as many art forms as they can in order to make their performance an overall success. I consider myself very lucky that the people and the industry have given me so much appreciation for my dance pieces," she said.
The actress also revealed that she took no kind of professional training for dance before stepping in the Bollywood industry.
"Honestly, it wasn't easy. I actually have never received formal training as a dancer until I entered Bollywood. I am heavily inspired by actors like Madhuri, Sridevi and many more! They're performers. I even have always aspired to be an actor who not only acts but is an overall performer. It's taken tons of diligence behind each bit that I performed in front of our audience," Vaani said.
Vaani says she is extremely thrilled to play a performer in "Shamshera".
