Netflix’s ‘Tasakri’ isn’t just a thriller; it’s a launchpad for Zoya Afroz, whose Priya—a daring air hostess navigating smugglers and authorities—has redefined her career. The show’s worldwide dominance highlights her breakthrough.
Zoya’s saga began as a kid on ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’, evolving through Sippy collaborations and ‘Kuch Na Kaho’. Modeling and Miss India/International triumphs diversified her, yet acting’s pull endured.
“Youthful starts offered profound insights,” she says. “Veteran guidance fueled growth. ‘Tasakri’ No. 1 status is poetic justice.”
Neeraj Pandey’s script sold her on Priya’s potency. “Robust, plot-pivotal women are his hallmark.”
Fate intervened in Assam: an urgent audition summons led to a cross-country dash. Instant approval, swift workshops, immediate rolls. “Neeraj’s leap of faith empowered me.”
Facing Emraan Hashmi in the premiere emotional showdown? Daunting. “Morning jitters aside, it’s audience gold.”
“Emraan is chill, sharp, scene-stealing. Neeraj’s vision plus his realism crafts masterpieces,” she praises.
Career-wise, Zoya embraces versatility. “All chapters interconnect. ‘Tasakri’ elevates; next, more dynamite parts.”
Zoya Afroz embodies the modern actor’s hustle, turning ‘Tasakri’ into her victory lap.
