Medha Shankr on comparison with Yami Gautam ahead of Ginny Weds Sunny 2 release: Doesn't matter to me

Actress Medha Shankr responds to comparisons with Yami Gautam ahead of Ginny Weds Sunny 2 release, expressing admiration but dismissing rivalry.

"I have never drawn comparisons, and even if someone else does, it doesn't matter to me. - Medha Shankr"

Mumbai, April 15

Actress Medha Shankr is currently all geared up for her movie Ginny Weds Sunny 2, in the capacity of the movie's lead actress.

With her role as the lead in the sequel of the movie, comes inevitable comparisons to Bollywood star Yami Gautam, who headlined the first installment of Ginny Weds Sunny.

Medha has now addressed these comparisons with complete clarity.

While speaking to IANS in an exclusive conversation, Medha shared,

"Nothing like that. I love Yami Gautam and Aditya Dhar. They are quite aware of how much I admire them. I think Yami has always been a great actor. It happens that after a while, you start getting that kind of respect, it just wasn't her time earlier."

She added, "But it's not about comparison. I am always inspired by people who have done a great job, before me, after me, or alongside me. I have never drawn comparisons, and even if someone else does, it doesn't matter to me."

The first part of Ginny Weds Sunny, which released in 2020, featured Yami Gautam and actor Vikrant Massey in lead roles.

The movie was a light-hearted romantic comedy that struck a chord with audiences on OTT.

The sequel, Ginny Weds Sunny 2 has brought on board a fresh pairing with Medha Shankr alongside Avinash Tiwary.

The movie is slated for release on April 24.

Talking about Medha Shankr, the actress who garnered immense appreciation for her performance in 12th Fail opposite Vikrant Massey, has already set a strong benchmark with her acting skills.

Honestly, comparisons are unfair to both actresses. Yami was brilliant in the first part, and Medha was phenomenal in 12th Fail. They are both talented in their own space. Let's just enjoy the movie for what it is—a fun rom-com!

I appreciate her grace, but I do wish journalists would stop asking these comparison-based questions altogether. It rarely leads to meaningful conversation and often puts unnecessary pressure on the new actor.

Yami Gautam has truly carved her own niche now with films like 'Article 370'. And Medha is on a fantastic rise after '12th Fail'. Both are winning! Excited for this fresh pairing with Avinash Tiwary. 24th April on the calendar! 🎬

Good on her for focusing on her own journey. In our Indian film industry, it's easy to get caught up in "kaun better hai" debates. Her attitude is very "apna kaam karo, baaki sab chhod do". More power to her!

The first movie was a perfect lockdown watch. Light and sweet. Hoping the sequel captures the same charm. Medha seems like a great choice. Let's support good content instead of creating rivalry.
