Unless you get to that level, I don't think that's (acting) the only thing you should do'

Shenaz Treasury, who was also seen as an air hostess and Imran Khan's love interest in the 2001 comedy film, 'Delhi Belly', said she is not bothered about being seen on celluloid as she was never hungry for fame in the same interview. 'I never wanted to be famous, that was not my dream. I just like being creative. Be it doing films or a Netflix show, 'The Big Sick', or the movie I shot in America called 'My Cousin Sister's Wedding'. I do these roles but it doesn't matter if it's Hollywood or Bollywood,' said Shenaz

Shenaz Treasury, who has also acted in Telugu films such as 'Eduruleni Manishi', launched her own destination marketing company called We Run The World.

'I like to actually experience each destination fully and my hands-on approach and experiential content resonate with people. I am real. I am not just a sexy actor posing with perfect hair and make-up. I am real, I am honest, and they identify with me. I'm thrilled to be able to share all my unique experiences with the world. At the moment. everyone still calls it Travel With Shenaz and the hashtag #travelwithshenaz is used by most travel enthusiasts around India,' Shenaz added
