Ever since Sushant Singh Rajput's death, the word 'nepotism' is being widely discussed. Now, it is Evelyn Sharma who in her recent interview has shared her thoughts on how Bollywood functions. She has spoken on nepotism and how she gets stereotyped in the industry. The actress who flew down to India from Germany to make a career in Bollywood shared that she has gotten replaced in films overnight because someone connected to makers wanted to be a part of it.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Evelyn recalled the tough times she faced and said, "All of it made me stronger actually. There have been times when the roles offered to me had no scope to perform. Then I’d get replaced overnight because someone’s friend or girlfriend wanted to do the film." She further went on to add, "It was quite shocking and horrible experience for me. Initially I’d think those ‘why don’t you come over for drinks’ offers were for good only to find out later that it wasn’t. What’s nepotism? The power and money game that happens in Bollywood is a different thing altogether. Thankfully I managed to stay away and found my small space."
Considering she is from Germany, Evelyn has been often stereotyped as an actress who can't speak Hindi. She even opened her heart out on his and stated that it disappoints her. "After 10 years in Bollywood and having done 15 films, people still feel I won’t be able to deliver my dialogues in Hindi. I mean that’s disappointing. I know Elli (Avram), Elnaaz (Nourouzi) also go through similar grind," she shared.
Evelyn is currently in Australia along with her fiance. (Also Read: Saaho Actress Evelyn Sharma And Tushaan Bhindi’s Engagement Was A Dreamy Affair; Don't Miss The Inside Pictures)
