Cape Town actress Carishma Basday is riding the wave of her first lead role
Actress Carishma Basday hops on a surfboard and rides waves on Durban’s North Beach, in her latest role, breaking all stereotypes that traditional Indian females shouldn’t surf.
"I fell in love with the story, message and the character. It’s the first movie of its kind that explores the surfing culture within the Indian community. In preparing for the role I had to learn how to surf. My husband is a surfer so he was more than happy to teach me. Surfing is tricky - there isn’t really a lot to learn, and the technique can be learnt in a day but getting out there, and getting your timing right is challenging," said Basday.
In the film Sunni’s father, Naren battles to get rid of this orthodox ways, however seeing his daughter’s dream come true makes him realise he can’t always be her protector.
