How do you define yourself?
“I define myself as a happy go lucky, outgoing and loving person. I am quite sensitive and spiritual too.” Musskan muses.
When did the idea of getting into Bollywood come from?
Musskan says that she was always inclined towards Bollywood since childhood. “Even in school, I would take part in all dance and skit competitions. I always wanted to go to Bombay and try to get recognition as an actor.” she confides.
Has your career progressed up to your expectations?
She says thankfully, “I am extremely grateful and excited to have achieved all that I have.” Being an outsider, with no connections or godfathers in the industry, she embraces her achievements. “I have achieved everything with my own efforts. I am happy about that.” She adds proudly.
Who is your inspiration?
“My mother is my inspiration because she is so generous, devoted and full of love. I wish I can be as giving as her. Being selfless is in itself an art and I admire her a lot for that and much more.” Musskan speaks out from the bottom of her heart.
A memory you cherish till date in your career path?
She nostalgically says, “I once went to Greece for the shoot of my film ‘Kya Masti Kya Dhoom’ and the entire experience was one of my most cherished memories.”
How would you describe your style of acting?
We couldn’t agree more when she says, “ I like to observe people in different walks of life. I try to inculcate these observations while acting. I also like to go down my memory lane trying to remember when I felt what my character is feeling. Then performance comes naturally.”
If not an actress, what would you have been up to right now?
“I think I would do something related to skincare and wellness. I believe good skin is the first step to self-care. If not that then maybe a line around guilt-free desserts.” says Musskan.
What was the turning point in your life?
Having performed remarkably as Harika she acknowledges her first movie ‘Paisa Vasool’ as the turning point of her life.” She also credits the team involved in creating the spark of her life! “I owe it to my director Puri Jagannadh Sir. I could realize my dream and turn it into reality all thanks to him.”
Tell us your story of success.
Musskan happily takes us through her journey from moving to Mumbai four years ago to build her dreams. She recollects, “I auditioned a lot for TV commercials, print ads, movies and web. I did ads initially with brands like Dabur, Samsung, Panasonic, Gold Fogg etc. Then I got a music video (Thori Beer Pilla) with Sony which landed me a short film for Cello. That short film helped me bag my first Telugu film, Touchwood.” The film was a big hit praising her commendable performance and she started getting offers and that kept her busy throughout.
