Rahman for a musical project, a dream come true for any aspiring singer. However, she didn&#8217;t stop there. Her transition from music to the silver screen in the sports drama &#8216;Maidaan&#8217; has been seamless. Playing a pivotal role in the film, Shawni shared screen space with superstar Ajay Devgn and proved that she is a force to be reckoned with in terms of acting. Her portrayal has been lauded for its authenticity and emotional depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on her journey, Shawni expressed her gratitude for the opportunities to work with stalwarts of the industry. &#8220;Singing for Rahman sir was surreal, and &#8216;Maidaan&#8217; allowed me to explore myself as an actor on a massive platform,&#8221; she said.
