To this day, Nimrat Kaur’s portrayal of Ila in The Lunchbox remains one of her most cherished roles.
Despite Irrfan’s redoubtable presence in that film, Nimrat also made the audience sit up and notice her.
The film’s sweet success established Nimrat as a bright new talent, but she maintained a low profile in Bollywood by doing only a handful of projects since her breakthrough in 2013.
Not restricting her talent to just one industry or language, the actress paved her way to Hollywood as she picked pivotal roles in international television series like Homeland and Wayward Pines.
As she dabbles her career across genres and industries, Nimrat describes her hustle as “exciting” and “really fun”.
But everything is being done at her own pace.
The actress, who essays the role of a school counselor in her latest OTT show School of Lies, “I’m not basing my professional thrills or excitement by being one above someone else because that’s a fool’s errand. I don’t care about competition.”
Nandita is such a layered and complex character. What was the biggest challenge of playing this role?
The responsibility of playing this part was to make sure that I am able to portray it with a clean, non-judgmental and empathetic point of view.
She’s a fractured person.
She is somebody who’s deeply empathetic and understands exactly where the children are.
It was important for me to make sure that at no point does it become untruthful. That was the biggest guideline I wanted to stick to.
