MUMBAI: Bidita Bag, who currently features in web biopic “The Sholay Girl”, says the digital platform brings lot of love and recognition from people all over the world.
“The Sholay Girl”, a Zee5 production, is based on Bollywood’s first stuntwoman Reshma Pathan. It is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar.
“Web is very liberating. For actors like me, who are not part of any group or are not stars and we do not have that crazy fan following for us this platform is really good. We are getting recognition from fans through web.
“If this (‘The Sholay Girl’) had released in cinema halls then it would not have done well. Digitally it is doing good. It has reached to more people in different countries and I am happy about it,” Bidita told reporters.
The actor, who came to notice with her performance in Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer “Babumoshai Bandookbaaz”, said she is still struggling to make her mark in the entertainment industry.
“I have faced several rejections and because of it I could have fallen into depression but I chose to focus on my work. I have taken rejections positively and emerged stronger.
“There is lot of struggle for actors like me, from monetary to professional. Today I have a house, a car, I have made some savings, I don’t lead a luxurious life, I lead a basic grounded life,” she added.
Talking about “The Sholay Girl”, Bidita said she was not aware about Reshma Pathan and it was through the project she learned about the unending struggles of a stuntwoman. (AGENCIES)
