Shahana Goswami caught the attention of the audience with her debut role as Arjun Rampal’s ill-tempered wife in Rock On (2009). Though she went on to do many more character roles, it’s her new international film Winds of Change with Deepa Mehta, an adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s book Midnight’s Children, that’s brought her back in the news.
Goswami will also be seen in the forthcoming Game and Ra.One.
