By Wellington Dias.

Agnes D'Silva (into her late teens at the time of the interview), it seems started acting as a Child Artiste with her Uncle Cyril
Almeida giving her a break in his drama "Kabar Zatoch Suru Zalem".

She further mentioned about all her family members (including her Uncle) and specially her Father (who was into directing, acting & writing always wanted her to be on the Konkanni stage) encouraging her to the full.

It seems that Agnes's first foray into commercial acting was in Comedian Agostiho's drama "Suseg", a role which She mentions as landing based on the recommendation of Anil Pednekar (one of her co-stars in the drama 'Bhogos Maka', who realized her acting potential).

Agnes stated that, to date, She has acted in a number of dramas which include Cyril Almeida's 'Kabar Zatoch Suru Zalem',
Loz, Umbro Teaag and Havuch Zannam, Bhogos Maka of Bernard Fernandes, Torsad of Menino Araujo and Suseg of Comedian Agostinho.
