Nimrat Kaur: I didn’t come to Mumbai to become a star

If one looks at Nimrat Kaur's career choices, one would believe that she has not gone the conventional route. When we met her, it was imperative to ask her if she was ever tempted to jump on to the path she hasn't taken so far. The actress stated, "I didn’t come to Mumbai to become a star or a mainstream heroine. I don’t think I knew enough to even want that. I did B.Com Honours before coming here. I’ve been through several rounds of auditions. What I know today is because of a lot of research.”


The actress added, “I learnt how to read scenes and dialogue and what to make of a script while I was at work. For me, being in show-business is a life-long Ph.D. I’m always studying and giving exams, and I choose the ones that interest me more. I don’t have this means-to-an-end kind of mentality. This is my life and I chose to do this because I wanted to do only this and nothing else.”


She concluded by saying, “I pick work that stimulates my mind all the time. The show, the razzmatazz is very entertaining and I love it but it doesn’t define the profession for me. I enjoy it for the people I get to meet, the emotions I experience, the strange mental situations I go through while playing parts; it’s a different sort of a hunt for me."
