Mumbai: Sheena Shahabadi, daughter of former actress Sadhna, is debuting with a very unconventional film titled ‘Tere Sang’, where she plays a teenaged girl whose boyfriend makes her pregnant.

The film comes with a message around teen pregnancy and has sex education as one of its major promotional pegs. The male lead in the film is played by Ruslaan Mumtaz.

The 19-year-old Sheena said, “Seriously, for how long can one shut eyes to sex education? It sounds so strange that in today's age and times, there are teenagers who don't think about safe sex at all. Education around this should be a definite must for all or they get misguided by random information available to them.”

The film is directed by Satish Kaushik, which tells the story of 15-year-old Maahi (Sheena) and 17-year-old Kukko (Ruslaan) who are school mates. In one of their outdoor meeting with a bunch of friends, they decide to ‘experiment’ and end up making love to each other. When Maahi gets pregnant, she decides to give birth to the child and she gets complete support from Kukko.

Sheena, the daughter of former actress Sadhna Singh (‘Nadiya Ke Paar’ fame) said, “I’m very happy that I got to play Maahi in my very first film. It is completely different from the routine running around the trees jig since it conveys a serious message without compromising on the entertainment quotient.”

The teenager actress added, “I didn’t base my character on anyone in particular but, yes, I know for sure that teen pregnancy is quite common today. I have seen at least a couple of girls of my age going for abortion. They went through a painful experience not just physically but mentally too.”

She further added, “Parents should be more attached to their children and give them warmth so that they don’t have to step out and end up doing something that is not suitable for their age. Luxury and riches aren't important enough; love and affection play major roles too.”
