'I've always been the hero of my life'

Model-actor Gauahar Khan is proud of the decisions that she has taken so far and considers herself to be the hero of her life.

As a model, she has walked for various designers, including Manish Malhotra. She has shown her acting skills in films like Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Ishaqzaade and Begum Jaan. She has also explored the TV space and web world.

"I have always been the hero of my life. No matter what I did, the decisions that I made, the career options that I took... I always felt that I wanted to do it because I knew I would stand out in it," Gauahar said.

The Fever actor has featured in films, but there are very few that presented her as the lead actor. "I wouldn't say they are yet to recognise my talent because I have worked with the best of the directors. People know that I am a credible actor. I feel that everyone knows what I am capable of," she said.

Gauahar has worked with directors like Shimit Amin, Habib Faisal and Srijit Mukherji.

She recently worked with director Rohan Sippy for the digital show 'Side Hero', also starring actor Kunaal Roy Kapur. "It is a fictional show. I play his (Kunaal's) fictional ex-wife. It was interesting for me because I got to work with someone as talented as Kunaal Roy Kapur. I am also opposite Arjun Kanungo who is a heartthrob singer," she said.

She revealed that is "waiting for the right kind of offer" from the makers of fiction TV shows.
