Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, who rose to fame with her show ‘Choti Sarrdaarni’ and ‘Bigg Boss 16’, recently made her film debut with the Punjabi movie ‘Shaunki Sardar’. The actress has been open about her journey in the showbiz and has never shied away from openly expressing her opinions. In an exclusive interview , Nimrit talks about her film debut, her career in the television, journey in Bigg Boss and many more.
After Bigg Boss 16 ended, Nimrit revealed the makers showed some personal things about her life in the show without her permission. Reacting to this, Nimrit says that she cannot blame the makers on showcasing certain things because that’s what audience wants. She shares, “I’ve realized that at the end of the day, it’s a business. And I don’t blame them to have that approach because it is. So, I don’t think that I can blame the makers completely because they are literally doing what the audience wants.”
“As long as there is no shift in the perspective of the viewer, the one making the show also can’t do much. So that is that. And if I have to be on a more personal level, I think the entire experience as a whole really made me, really made me very, self-aware as an actor,” she shares.
She adds, “It was a good learning in the sense because see, going forward in life, there will always be people who will appreciate you, there will always be criticism at every step of the way. I think as actors, we are criticized day in and day out. At different levels, we face multiple rejections. To become fixed in and not lose your essence and still keep at it, I think I learned that because of this film.”
“From my experience, you need to buckle up. You can’t let the chatter affect you so deeply and you just need to keep at it. And embrace rejections also. Embrace the negativity as well. Because if you are willing to embrace the positivity or the admiration, being in this business and you need to embrace the other aspects of it as well. You can’t always expect that everyone should speak well, everyone should talk well. Absolutely. And when there is negativity or tolling, you should not get scared of it,” she concludes.
