Ahsaas started acting at a very young age and was noticed by everyone in her first movie, Vaastu Shastra, where she played a young boy who creeps the hell out of everyone. She was just 4 then.

The list of TV shows she’s done is endless – Gumrah, Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev, Webbed and Fanaah are just some of the shows she has worked in.
