The Swedish-Greek actress, who shot to fame after her stint on Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss, made her debut with Mickey Virus in 2013. She went on to star in some not-so-successful movies but eventually managed to prove her mettle as an actress.
Elli you started your career as a dancer, being part of Swedish TV Drama, and now as a Bollywood actress, what has been the most pivotal thing in your journey?
I was part of a Pardesi dance group in Sweden but it was a hobby while still studying in school And career-wise I first acted in a Swedish indie film then I got an opportunity from Bollywood as an actress in mickey virus (my first film). The most pivotal thing in my journey has been consistency and hard work.
You have been part of reality shows and fictional shows, which genre of work is your favorite?
I started my career as an actress and I was part of Big Boss reality show at the time my film was releasing. It was a great thing for me that happened, because I suddenly became a popular household name in India. The amount of love and support I got, is the reason for me being here today! After bigboss I did Kis Kisko pyaar Karoo with duo directors Abbas-Mustan sir that became a huge success at Box office.
Since then I've kept working hard on making a mark in the Indian film industry. I came here to act because that's what my passion is, being part of a reality show was just a step to show the industry.
