Nimrit Ahluwalia To Make Her Bollywood Debut
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Nimrit said, “I have waited for this opportunity not just this one year but for the last six years. When you come to Mumbai, you have this dream of being a heroine in a film. I met Ajay (Rai, producer) sir and he is known for giving opportunities to newer people. Aater our first meeting, he felt I was a right fit to audition. Then began a long process of auditions that went on for a while and eventually, I bagged the role,” she says, adding that the film is currently in the pre-production stage. “I start shoot for the film in September. After my stint in Khatron Ke Khiladi, I plan to jump into my prep for the role.”
Nimrit also broke her silence on quitting Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2. She said, “When I came out of the house, I needed some time to myself. It took a lot of courage to identify that I wanted to be better equipped when I entered a film set.”
“It wasn’t an easy decision to make as it was the moment everyone was waiting for. But I wouldn’t have been able to be the best version of me in it, in terms of how I look as well as where my head space was at. Being an outsider, I know I won’t get many opportunities. I can’t afford to have many misses,” she added.
Nimrit also talked about her physical transformation. She said, “I wasn’t in my best physical and mental state during my reality show stint. I realised that people absolutely forgot that they have seen a fit version of me. There was this new image of Nimrit looking a certain way, and nobody remembered me from before. It seemed as if everybody believed that I was always this size. But that wasn’t really me.”
