Mumbai, Jan 14 (PTI) Shenaz Treasury, best remembered forher film "Ishq Vishq", says she has not limited herself toacting as it might become frustrating to depend solely on theprofession.

Despite having a career spanning over 15 years, Shenaz,who is also a writer, said she cannot think of doing films allher life till she establishes herself.

"I love acting. But unless you are a superstar likeDeepika Padukone or Priyanka Chopra... Unless you get to thatlevel, I don't think that's (acting) the only thing you shoulddo.

"I feel so blessed that I've written a screenplay('Luv Ka The End'), I am writing a book, I do travelogue. Imake money not so much from acting but my travelogue... Beingjust an actor would be quite frustrating," Shenaz told PTI.

The actor said she is not bothered about being seen oncelluloid as she was never hungry for fame.

"I never wanted to be famous, that was not my dream. Ijust like being creative. Be it doing films or a Netflix show,'The Big Sick', or the movie I shot in America called 'MyCousin Sister's Wedding'. I do these roles but it doesn'tmatter if it's Hollywood or Bollywood."Shenaz, who was last seen in the recently-released film"Kaalakaandi", said she prefers quality over quantity even ifit results in less films coming her way.

The actor is now looking forward to her book ofmemoiristic essays, "All He Left Me Was A Recipe".

Talking about the book, Shenaz said, "It's a funny bookabout little stories in my life, different men in my life anddifferent recipes I learnt. Mostly recipes of food and lifelessons." PTI JUR KKP GKRDS.
