About
I’m Sobita Shaba, an actor and performer with deep roots in the vibrant cultural landscape of Goa. Growing up in a family of artists, I was always drawn to the world of performing arts. My journey began on stage as a child artist in my father’s plays, and it was there that my passion for acting was truly ignited.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various productions across Goa, showcasing my talents in Konkani, Marathi, and Hindi languages. Every role I take on is approached with unwavering zeal and enthusiasm, as I pour my heart into bringing each character to life.
I consider myself not just an actor but a cinephile, constantly learning and exploring the many facets of filmmaking. Acting, for me, is more than just a profession—it’s a deep, passionate love affair with this magical art form.
