Athiya Shetty was also asked if she is approaching any directors in order to get some good roles. To this, she said that she is a bit shy which she does not think is a good thing as calling up a director for work explains an actor’s dedication towards the craft. She is of the belief that it is also important to prove one’s calibre before approaching the directors. Since she has only done a few films so far, it is important that she showcases her acting capabilities through more films, before taking the privilege to call the directors up. So far, the actor has worked in four films which are all of different nature.
