It's because the scripts that come to me are not the greatest and those don't excite me so much. Having said that, I am open to doing more features (films), and if there are more features (films) being made with something interesting to do for me, I would do more of them.” Aahana, who was very keen towards acting since childhood, has also featured in many advertisements including Garnier, KFC and many more.
