For any newcomer, Bollywood is a tough place to make a mark in. But, if you get as good a start as Ridhima Sud did (she debuted with director Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do), the road ahead can be less difficult. It’s been a few months since her film released, but people still call Ridhima by her character’s name, Noorie.
Talking about the frequent occurrence, Ridhima says, “It does feel great to be recognized for my performance. It proves that I have left a strong impression. It is a big compliment. The funny part is, when I do something that is not very Noorie-esque, the expression on everyone’s faces is priceless,” says the young actor.
Ask her if the industry is tough to work in, and she says, “Bollywood is a friendly place. Anything is as good or bad as you make it. It is how you present yourself. I believe that good things happen to good people.”
