Sasheh: Do you think that filmmaking has also undergone a sea change? There have been a lot of changes over the years. But when it comes to entertainment, it was as good as it is now the craze for entertainment was there back in the day too. Salma: It was as good, maybe even better than what it is now. Sasheh: How was Bollywood at the time when you were at your peak?
Your talent grows and only gets better with time. Music, on the other hand, has no such limitations. I had insisted you also to be a singer first because your acting career depends on your looks. I have two very beautiful and understanding children, Sasheh Agah and Ali Khan, and I am very happy to have them.
You live your life best when you have no regrets. Salma: I am happy about whatever I have done in the past. Sasheh: After your debut, it was smooth sailing and you grew up to become an established singer-actor. If you can swim in a swimsuit at home, then why not in films? Times have changed and things have become much more commercial. Salma: I don’t expect you to go swimming in a churidar or a sari. Sasheh: I had to do some bold scenes in the film. So, music was always the first priority in my life. I was trained in classical music and I worked very hard on my skills. And the film went on to become a big hit. I told them that I would act only if you let me sing all the songs in the film. Salma: I had little interest in acting but they offered me a role as well. Sasheh: But didn’t you want to sing and not act? Raviji, the great music director gave me a break with a big banner like BR Films (in the film Nikaah, 1982). Salma: For me, music meant the whole world. Sasheh: When you left home, did you think you’d work with a big banner and that everything would fall in place? So it was quite a tough decision to take at that point. I left home because they would never let me work in a film. Sasheh Agha: Now that I am debuting as an actor, this must remind you of the time when you did your first movie. As Sasheh Agha prepares for her big screen debut with Aurangzeb, we get the 19-year-old to interview her mother, yesteryear star, Salma Agha, who entered Bollywood as a teenager too. One wowed audiences with her twin talents, singing and acting, all through the ’80s, while the other is just making her foray in Bollywood.
