Neha Sharma has been active as an actress in the industry for over a decade, however, she says that now she is getting the roles she always wanted. The 33-year-old actress, who made her Bollywood debut with Crook opposite Emraan Hashmi with a superhit Telugu film Chirutha, says she is glad that the director is finally seeing her different shades as an actor. are. In a conversation with News18, Neha says that it was a struggle to break the stereotype of ‘pretty girl’ associated with her.
He said, “I am very grateful for doing the roles I am doing because it was very difficult to break out of the typecast of ‘Pretty Girl’ in the beginning. I was cast in roles that just danced and did nothing worthwhile. So it has been a struggle for me but eventually, I am getting roles that are soulful and tangible, so I am glad that things are changing.”
Talking about her Bollywood debut in 2010, she says that when Badmaash didn’t work at the box office, she was shattered as she expected the film to be just like her previous Telugu hit.
“My first Telugu film was a blockbuster, my films being flop was not an option for me. So when Crook didn’t work at the box office, I was shattered. For an outsider, it is very important to find the right mentor who can guide you. This is something that I think is very important, which I did not have. So it’s been a lesson to be learned. But I feel I have done well for someone who did everything on my terms,” Neha said.
She continued, “I have gone through times when my role was cut, or I wasn’t even a part of a film’s success schedule, although I was a major part of it. Those things are part and parcel of this industry. There are fragile egos and you can’t keep everyone happy. If you are working on your own terms, without compromise, life is not easy, industry is not easy, but you have to do your own thing.”
The actress keeps switching between Hindi films and Tamil and Malayalam films. When asked if she gets more love and acceptance in the South Indian film industry, she replied, “Acceptance? Yes. Even now, when I go to airports, people remember me for my role in Chirutha. So I got a lot of satisfaction for my first film. However, as an actor, Hindi is my first language and I feel if I don’t know the intricacies of a language, I might not be able to do justice to every role. So I feel a little challenged doing films there.”
His upcoming ventures include Illegal, Jogira Sara Ra Ra with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the horror-comedy Afat-e-Ishq. The trailer of the latter launched recently and the actress is garnering praise for her character in the film. Talking about releasing films in the hiatus, the actress says that it has been a conscious effort to not be everything that the film has been offered to her, but something that resonates with her. it happens.
“I want to do films that mean something to me and my audience. There are only a limited number of movies that are offered to you, and within that, it is a struggle to choose the right kind. I have been keeping fit, but I am thankful to my audience, who have supported me with a good film from the beginning. So, I try to choose the good stuff—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But the effort has always been there,” Neha Sharma said.
