As Fresh as Daisies: Elli AvrRam & Deanne Panday

Elli AvrRam

You moved all the way from Sweden to India to pursue your dreams of becoming an actress. But when was that revelation for you? How did you realize this was what you wanted at last?

After my graduation, I kept thinking about what I want to educate myself in. It was a matter of my life choice, what I wanted to truly work with and do in life. That is when I realized that nothing excited me as much as this childhood dream of mine. Since I have grown up with my mother who is an actress and my father, a musician, I have automatically had that love for artistry. I am someone who can only do something if it comes 100% from my heart. So one fine day I decided to just go for this wild big dream of mine! I thought now is the time to do it and see what happens, rather than doing it later in life because that later might just not come. So that is when I started to prepare myself for the adventure to move to India, all alone. I studied Devanagari at Stockholm University and took a course in English as well.

I was already part of a Bollywood dance group, so I kept learning different Bollywood styles. Every day I felt so alive and excited about the fact that I knew what I wanted to do in life and I am going for it!

What were the challenges you had to face when you finally moved to India?
