Heli Daruwala Finds Peace in Simple Moments

Heli Daruwala recently shared adorable picture on her Instagram profile saying bid to the year 2025 with a quiet thought — “To love, to let go.” In the photo, Heli is seen walking outdoors. The picture does not shout for attention, yet it holds it, showing how simplicity can speak louder than style.

Heli Daruwala’s journey in cinema has been shaped by strong inspiration and deep passion. She has spoken about how films influenced her dreams at a young age. One film that changed everything for her was Devdas. Watching the grand visuals and emotional depth of the movie left a lasting impact on her mind. The song Maar Daala especially stayed with her. She has said that watching that song made her feel like stepping inside the frame herself.

From childhood, Heli knew she wanted to become an actor. Her admiration for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali played a big role in shaping that dream. His style of storytelling, attention to detail, and love for classical art forms inspired her deeply. Because of this influence, she took Kathak seriously and completed her Visharad in the dance form. For Heli, dance was never just a skill, but a way to understand cinema and emotions better.

Heli Daruwala’s career shows steady growth and hard work. She started her journey at a young age and made her Bollywood debut with the film Dum Kaata in 2007, directed by Amol Palekar. She played the role of Imli, which gave her early exposure to the film world. Over the years, she became a familiar face on television. She worked in popular shows like Naagin 3, Nisha Aur Uske Cousins, Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke, and Dastaan-E-Mohabbat: Salim Anarkali.

Apart from television, Heli also appeared in music videos, including Vilayati Sharaab sung by Darshan Raval and Neeti Mohan. In recent years, she expanded her work into digital platforms. In 2024, she impressed viewers with her role as Geet in Undekhi Season 3, where she played a character who was secretly a spy. She was also seen in the film Ek Chatur Naar.
