When you read about a Femina Miss India winner, it’s not usually because she won the pageant 16 years ago. but after a gap longer than you’d deem necessary for career suicide, Waluscha De Sousa decided she’d bet on Bollywood, despite a long modelling hiatus. it worked, and her rookie role in this month’s Fan is opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Wait. What?
Not only are you acting in your first movie, you’re doing it opposite the biggest movie star in the industry. How are you not having a nervous breakdown?
[Laughs] I guess it’s going to hit me like a lighting bolt, but for now I’m very excited and can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
What was the hardest part of your acting preparations?
I had to wrap my head around the fact that I’d be on set with a large crew and have to give my lines looking straight into SRK’s eyes without looking intimidated! Believe me when I say I was so nervous that I’d fumble and keep him waiting. But SRK puts you at ease with this calming energy he has. I kept praying in between shots [laughs].
Were you prepared for all the extra publicity/loss of privacy?
