Surveen Chawla: It Was One Of The Worst Feelings When A Star Kid...
While talking to a leading daily, Hate Story 2 actress Surveen Chawla revealed that once she lost a project because of a star kid...
Surveen Chawla
who became a known face with her TV shows like (Star Plus) Kahiin To Hoga,
(Sony) Kaajjal and (Star Plus) Kasautii Zindagi Kay, is also a known name in
Bollywood. She made her Bollywood debut with Hate Story 2 (2014) opposite Jay
Bhanushali which performed decently at the box office.
But, Surveen has
had her shares of ups and downs too. The actress, while making a transition
from TV to Bollywood, faced an unfortunate situation when she was not selected
for a film, courtesy, a star kid.
A leading daily
Hindustan Times asked Surveen if there been any instance when Surveen was
finalised for a role, and a star kid replaced her.
To which the
actress said, “Yes, it did happen with me once. Trust me, it’s one of the worst
feelings, and made me feel demotivated. It happened about six years back, when
I was making my [TV to films] transition. I was not scared even though I had
left TV at the peak of my career. But in the middle of this transition, when I
was stepping up, I was thrown back down. For what reason? The question is not
of my talent, but about somebody who had better contacts; that’s it. It took me
sometime to come out of it, but then other things happened, and it instilled
confidence back in me.”
Surveen, also
feels that having a godfather is not necessary in the industry if it opens its
horizon to all
The actress said,
“One doesn’t need to have a godfather. It’s just that everybody in the industry
needs to open up to more people. Your eyes need to be able to see that there is
talent in people, and it doesn’t depend on where they come from. I say this
absolutely bluntly, because I feel chances should be given to more people, not
just one or two or five. The creation of opportunities is very less in our
country.”
