Former Miss India Navneet Kaur Dhillon, who is all set to navigate the genre of horror in films, confides that she is looking forward to a solid woman-centric role to truly showcase her acting prowess.
As we chat on the terrace of her house in Panchkula, Miss India 2013, Navneet Kaur Dhillon casually confides that she felt truly on top of the world when she won the beauty contest at the age of 16. And there has been no looking back for this army kid ever since. Staying miles away from offering sermons on ‘the power of dreaming,’ 25-year-old Dhillon, who has just started shooting for Bhushan Patel’s Hindi horror flick Amavas, stresses that it was the cocktail of hard work, luck and parental support that gave her the confidence to explore the runway and face the camera.
