Bindaas Hero-in Sheena Shahabadi

Sheena Shahabadi, daughter of yesteryear actress Sadhna Singh, is making a rather unconventional beginning in Bollywood. In her debut flick "Tere Sang", she plays a teenage girl whose boyfriend makes her pregnant. The film comes with a message around teen pregnancy and has sex education as one of its major promotional pegs. Ruslaan Mumtaz plays the male lead.


"Seriously, for how long can one shut eyes to sex education? It sounds so strange that in today's age and times, there are teenagers who don't think about safe sex at all. Education on this should be a definite must for all or they get misguided by random information available to them,” said Sheena

Directed by Satish Kaushik, "Tere Sang" tells the story of 15-year-old Maahi (Sheena) and 17-year-old Kukko (Ruslaan) who are school mates. In one of their outdoor rendezvous with a bunch of friends, they decide to 'experiment' and end up making love to each other. When Maahi gets pregnant, she decides to give birth to the child and she gets complete support from Kukko.

"I'm very happy that I got to play Maahi in my very first film," says Sheena, who is the daughter of Sadhna Singh, of "Nadiya Ke Paar" fame. "It is completely different from the routine running around the trees jig since it conveys a serious message without compromising on the entertainment quotient."

"I didn't base my character on anyone in particular but, yes, I know for sure that teen pregnancy is quite common today. I have seen at least a couple of girls of my age going for abortion. They went through a painful experience not just physically but mentally too."
