Surveen Chawla: It Was One Of The Worst Feelings When A Star Kid...


Surveen Chawla who became a known face with her TV shows like (Star Plus) Kahiin To Hoga, (Sony) Kaajjal and (Star Plus) Kasautii Zindagi Kay, is also a known name in Bollywood. She made her Bollywood debut with Hate Story 2 (2014) opposite Jay Bhanushali which performed decently at the box office.

But, Surveen has had her shares of ups and downs too. The actress, while making a transition from TV to Bollywood, faced an unfortunate situation when she was not selected for a film, courtesy, a star kid.

A leading daily Hindustan Times asked Surveen if there been any instance when Surveen was finalised for a role, and a star kid replaced her.

To which the actress said, “Yes, it did happen with me once. Trust me, it’s one of the worst feelings, and made me feel demotivated. It happened about six years back, when I was making my [TV to films] transition. I was not scared even though I had left TV at the peak of my career. But in the middle of this transition, when I was stepping up, I was thrown back down. For what reason? The question is not of my talent, but about somebody who had better contacts; that’s it. It took me sometime to come out of it, but then other things happened, and it instilled confidence back in me.”

Surveen, also feels that having a godfather is not necessary in the industry if it opens its horizon to all

The actress said, “One doesn’t need to have a godfather. It’s just that everybody in the industry needs to open up to more people. Your eyes need to be able to see that there is talent in people, and it doesn’t depend on where they come from. I say this absolutely bluntly, because I feel chances should be given to more people, not just one or two or five. The creation of opportunities is very less in our country.”
