Payal Ghosh: Nepotism exists in Bollywood, but luck is more important

As an actor, I work with different industries and in different languages. I feel it’s always an advantage because I get to learn different languages from different sets of mentality, so it’s always an advantage to work with different people who speaks different languages. And on the sets of different languages, it’s a different kind of enjoyment.

Yes, nepotism is there; we can’t deny the fact. But I believe luck is more important in this industry than anything else. We have seen Anushka Sharma, Shahrukh Khan and Akshay Kumar who are not from a Bollywood background. They started from scratch and they have done extremely well. This is true even for Kangana Ranaut. So at the end of the day, the audience is going to appreciate the work you have done, not the background you belong to.

I am doing a film called Jai Mata Di with Sagar Verma that will go on floor next month and, apart from that, I’m discussing many projects which I can’t disclose right now because I’ve not signed any of them yet, but you will come to know the updates in a month or two.

It’s a satire and it is related to Guru Ma (the religious god woman), as we have many God Mas in our country and it’s not related to any real God Ma. It is a comedy.

I am a very normal girl in comfortable dress without makeup because I feel that one’s skin needs to breathe. Also, I try to be as natural as possible and I am blessed with a good skin which doesn’t need lots of makeup all the time.

No, I haven’t planned something for YouTube yet and I don’t have time for that. So not now, maybe someday later.
