Alankrita Sahai joins the long list of beauty pageant contestants, who made their way to Bollywood.
She began her acting career with the Vicky Kaushal starrer Love Per Square Foot and subsequently appeared in films like Namaste England and Jabariya Jodi.
After a brief sabbatical, Alankrita gears up for the release of Tipppsy.
“If you do not learn the power of a ‘No’, how will you learn the excitement of a ‘Yes’?”
What’s the fun thing about shooting with an all female cast: Natasha Suri, Kainaat ArorAa, Nazia Hussain and Sonia Birje?
It’s been a fun, adventurous ride.
Of course, shooting with five women is not easy.
It’s like we were the Charlie’s Angels of (Director) Deepak Tijori.
It’s quite eventful when all the women come together with our qualities and vulnerabilities and get together to make a film.
There are five girls in this film. Did you fear getting lost in the crowd?
I don’t fear being lost in a crowd of hundred women because I know I stand out. I love myself and make other women stand out with me.
I would never diss another woman until she’s harrowed me or hated the idea of women being successful together. Then, of course, that woman is not my friend.
I make other people shine with me and don’t take away anybody’s thunder.
Also, in this film, every girl is different. Our outfits, hair and makeup and everything is different.
You were a beauty pageant holder before you stepped into showbiz. Was acting always on the cards?
I wanted to be an IFS (Indian Foreign Service) officer. I had no intent of being a beauty queen or actor.
I was preparing for something totally different when this happened in my life and God presented me with a new opportunity to represent India.
I won seven titles for India on the international platform.
