Nimrat Kaur talked about the career of a married actress exclusively at Republic TV's 'India Women Summit'
When asked about the changing norms in Bollywood, especially regarding actresses continuing their careers after marriage and having children, the actress cited examples of Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt .
The Dasvi actress commented, "Yes, it's very healthy, and it's extremely important to set that example. Young girls need to look up to such female role models, like the wonderful women you named and say that they are not shy, they are not worried, and this is the example I want to follow."
Nimrat shared her own experience, saying, "This happened to me. When I was growing up, I had role models too. I would look up to actors and actresses, bookmarking quotes and underlining interviews that resonated with me. It didn’t matter if you were tall, short, or had a certain body type."
Nimrat Kaur likes the camera
The Airlift star further said that she loves being in front of the camera, even if it is for 30 seconds. She gave the example of 'Lunchbox' and said, “In the film, I did my own makeup. Tied my own hair because I had to look relatable. You had to remember someone after seeing us. You had to look inside me through my eyes. For the role, I have to lose weight, shed some skin or look beautiful... I am ready to do everything. I have to look like the character. This is my job. Vidya Balan and Tabu are wrist takers and I salute them.”
