Favourite Bollywood film? Devdas.

Which film role would you like? A glamorous heroine or an art-house actress.

You love Bollywood because? Aside from it being the largest film industry in the world, where else can you be taken on a three hour rollercoaster ride of emotion, action, dance, glamour fashion, and, most of all, the sheer escapism?

How experienced are you? I love performing and I have been involved in various stage productions across the UK. I have also been leaning Indian dance since the age of eight - it is one of my biggest passions. I have performed all over the UK and abroad in Norway, Dubai, Pakistan and India too.

What makes you a potential Bollywood star? I have the potential to perform well, both in dance and acting. I have the ability to take on the pressure of a very hard working industry and would be able to deliver, whether it be in front of the camera, in interviews or for photo shoots.
