Evelyn Sharma decided to embark on a career in Hindi films, and the actress says that having a Punjabi father helped her make inroads in Bollywood.
She adds, “Having grown up in Germany, I was exposed to a completely different culture. However, my Punjabi side has come to my rescue whenever I have needed it.”
Evelyn says, “It’s been a roller-coaster of a ride in the industry since ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’in 2013 hit the screens.”
“More than learning the language, learning how to dance has been the toughest thing. Germans are quite stiff, you know laughs,” she said.
In the end Evelyn said, “But thank God for the Punjabi blood, because that’s helped me overcome the hurdle. But what’s been even more difficult to navigate is how people judge you based on what they read about you.”–CINEWS
