Sports Heritage Helps Ashmita Bakhshi Master Army Major Poise

Bakhshi comes from a family steeped in sports; her grandfather played hockey and an active lifestyle runs in her veins. She explained that this background made adopting the rigid stance of a military officer feel natural.

In addition, her training as a professional dancer gave her an edge in mastering the precise movements required on screen. The combination of athletic discipline and dance control allowed her to deliver a convincing performance as Major Anita Solanki, the nurse who commands respect on the ward.
