Disha Patani Talks About Makeup, Meeting Her Idols, And Finding Inspiration Every Day

Disha Patani is a star of today. Along with acting in blockbuster films, she posts YouTube vlogs, makes dance videos, and engages with her 27.6 million Instagram followers, all with equal ease. The girl from Bareilly talks to Bazaar about makeup, meeting her idols, and finding inspiration every day.

MOVIE NIGHT

“I’m actually very shy so I never thought I would act or be in front of the camera. I came to Bombay to be a model. And then my destiny led me to cinema, which I enjoy. But I’ve always liked watching movies. In Bareilly, where I’m from, my father would take me to the theatre every Friday. I love action and thriller films and some of my favourite Hollywood stars are Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie. Jackie Chan is one of my heroes, and I love his work, especially in Rush Hour and Twin Dragons. He used to risk his life for his stunts. I actually got the chance to work with him in Kung Fu Yoga, which was an incredible experience. It made me realise how much hard work goes into a film like that. My favourite action star in Bollywood is Tiger Shroff—no one can do what he does. One day I would love to be in my own superhero film, like Wonder Woman.”
