Genelia hasn’t missed out on anything

Mar 17, 2011 |

Genelia’s last Bollywood outing Chance Pe Dance met with a dismal fate at the box-office but that hasn’t stopped the actress from thinking any less of herself. “It’s a misconception that I was a Bollywood dropout who made it big in the South. I started in Bollywood and in the South at the same time. I was shooting a South film directed by Shankar at the same time when I was doing Tujhe Meri Kasam (2003). I am one of the only actresses to have debuted in a Hindi, Tamil and Telugu film in the same year. I don’t regret anything as I am back again and enjoying good work.”
The actress, who has been shuttling between Bollywood and her films down South, doesn’t feel that she has missed out on anything. “It has been quite a journey for me to snap off from here and go to the South and then come here again. I don’t feel that I have missed out on a lot in Bollywood in the intervening years. I was satisfied working there in the South. I gained a lot of experience there. The experience I got has helped me as I am a more confident actor now.”
But she goes on to harp on the single major hit that she has ever seen in her Bollywood career. “For me Jaane Tu… was a new beginning. I always had the potential. It was just waiting to be tapped,” she says.
Maybe someone needs to remind her about the fate of one-film wonders.
