She started her career as a child actor and now she is all set to sizzle on the silver screen with her debut in the film Lottery.
Rucha Gujarati who has been seen in tele serials Kkusum, Bhabhi, Waaris, Waqt Batayga Kaun Apna Kaun Paraya, Rihahee and Shh Phir Koi Hain, talks about her upcoming project and her views on skin show.
Was a career in Hindi films always on your mind?
Acting has always attracted me. As a child actor I did a number of films and after that I did a few ad films and serials. Finally, I graduated to cinema, which I am very happy about.
Tell us something about Lottery?
It's a romantic thriller. I am playing the role of Soha who is Abhijeet Sawant’s lover. It’s the chain of events that make the film interesting.
Don’t you think that by making your debut with newcomer Abhijeet Sawant (who also debuts in Lottery) you have taken a risk?
It’s true that he would also be making his debut in this film but as an artiste he has already proved his mettle in the entertainment field. I am sure he would also impress audiences as an actor. Also, at the very same time, I have a strong role in the film which negates any feeling of having taken any risk.”
Will you say goodbye to small screen after making your debut in Bollywood?
It’s true that I am now acting in films but it doesn’t mean I would stop doing small screen projects. Television is my first love and it’s because of television that I got noticed in Bollywood.
Are there any other Bollywood projects in the pipeline?
I am busy reading a lot of scripts but I am being very cautious about choosing the right film and the right people so that my career in the industry heads in the right direction. I am in no haste for signing films because I want to do performance-oriented films.
A lot of new entrants go for skin show for gaining popularity in the industry. What’s your take on it?
I have not even thought about it but yes, if it’s the demand of the film in a genuine way, I would have no qualms doing it. But exposure just for the sake of gaining popularity is unacceptable to me.
