, who began her Bollywood journey with Fan, made a mark in the OTT space with web shows like Mirzapur, Guilty Minds, and The Broken News. The actress is shifting her focus more toward films now.
She shares, 'I'm being very selective with roles in the series space because I want to focus more on films, as I miss the medium. That doesn't mean I won't be a part of web shows.'
The actress, who was recently seen as cop Devika Rathore in Chhal Kapat: The Deception, says she has also learned to factor in how a project is presented. 'The platform matters. How a show or film is mounted affects how the audience perceives it. In the past, even when my performance was appreciated, the overall mounting sometimes didn't support it.
Now, I take all of those factors into consideration,' she explains.
Shriya's career choices are now guided by the quality and potential of a role, not just the association. 'The films I've taken up recently are interesting. I've also been offered films with big actors, but the parts weren't exciting. It's not about screen time or the size of the role; it's about the value that I can bring. I want to show my skill and build on it, not do roles for the sake of visibility,' she concludes.

In a previous chat with us, the actress, who has also been part of projects like The Great Indian Bride, The Gone Game, Ekulti Ek, and Haathi Mere Saathi, reflected on how she's often typecast and how she's actively working to change that image. She told us, 'The general perception is that I'm associated with roles that are righteous. Once I realised that, I knew I had to break it. My focus now is to be reimagined. For that, I want to work with makers who see me differently.
