Last Updated:
Nimrat Kaur opened up about losing several roles in the film industry, as people thought she had moved to a foreign country.
Nimrat Kaur is basking in the success of her latest web series, The Legacy of the Raisingghs: Kul. Released on Jiohotstar, the thriller-drama series also stars Ridhi Dogra and Amol Parashar in lead roles. Recently, the Dasvi actress opened up about losing work opportunities in the film industry, as people thought she had moved to a foreign country. The actress also revealed how people have misconceptions about her acting preferences.
During a recent interview with India Today, Nimrat claimed that many assumed she had permanently relocated to Los Angeles (US). The actress was asked if her acting choices have led people to think this was, she replied, 'I do take responsibility for that. I always thought they knew I was here, but many believed that I was in LA (Los Angeles), that I had moved there. I love working abroad, but living in a foreign country is unthinkable for me."
'They also felt that I wouldn't want to do certain kinds of films, and I always wondered where these assumptions came from. Fortunately, I have been able to do stuff that suits me, and I feel grateful and lucky nonetheless," she added.
Furthermore, she discussed the current state of the industry and how films are failing at the box office. The actress revealed, 'I see that there are so many capable and able actors around me who haven't been employed. But one needs to run the household, rents to pay, families have to be kept up, and bills need to be cleared. This is a profession at the end of the day. When things don't work, there is nervousness in the market, budgets are curtailed, and projects take longer to roll out."
Later, Nimrat also spoke about what kind of role she wants to explore in her career, to which she replied, 'I would really like to do something like that, or even a horror comedy. I would also like to do a romantic comedy, or a lot of what I have already done. I want to attempt action, and something in line with The Test Case, which is absolutely close to my heart."
Nimrat Kaur, known for movies such as The Lunchbox, Airlift, Dasvi and Sajni Shinde Ka Viral Video, is gearing up for an upcoming courtroom drama, Section 84, with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Banerjee.
