Cheerful and gorgeous, Rohtak born ‘Zoravar’ actress Parul Gulati is a beauty with brains sure to leave you in awe with her indelible charm. In an exclusive conversation with Urvi Sharma, the charming actress, who has recently played a Kashmiri girl in popular Prisoners of War (POW) on Indian television recounts her journey in the entertainment industry so far.
Was acting your childhood dream?
Well, surprisingly No! I was still in high school when I got spotted on a social media platform. It was pure luck then. I believe that God decided to place me here, and show me that this is what my life is going to be. I decided to go to a drama school and study acting. I did lots of workshops to understand this profession to its bits. I realised it back then and it made me love acting, and become so passionate about it that I want to do this all my life. Now I can say it has become my prime dream to do timeless characters in cinema. I want to be remembered for acting and no narrowed down to just looking beautiful, as that’s what usually happens to the actresses in the film industry.
You have attended formal learning in an acting school. Tell us about your experience and how has it helped you in your journey?
It is very important in any profession to have training. If you are an engineer, you study engineering. Likewise, if you are a cinematographer; you should study cinematography. The same way I studied my profession and took formal training, which opened my mind to many possibilities that I could look forward to as an actor. Being in an industry that largely relies on nepotism; the only way one can outshine or land oneself opportunities is by excelling in your craft. Your luck may vary but if you make your craft strong then nothing can stop you from doing the kind of work you want to do.
