Highlights
- Nimrat Kaur shared his struggle
- Actress in tension and fear for several days after coming to Mumbai
- Loneliness harassed the actress
New Delhi: Before becoming a well -known face in films and international shows, Nimrat Kaur was another hopeful artist in Mumbai, who was uncertain about when her next salary would come -or whether it would ever come or not. In a clear conversation with the Indian Express, the actress spoke openly about emotional and financially challenging years before her big break in The Lunchbox.
Nimrat did not know his goal even after coming to Mumbai
Recalling the uncertainty of those early days, Nimrat said, ‘Sometimes I used to stay in tension where my next salary would come from? Am i quite good Should i go back? Do people like to see me in my work? ‘ He said, ‘Before The Lunchbox, there was a time when I did not know what I would do next.’ After coming to Mumbai, Nimrat worked in a music video for two to three months and often worked in advertising films. Along with this, he also spent four to five years in theater. But this was also not enough to maintain them.
Confident lunchbox
He told, ‘There was a time when my bank balance was very low while doing theater. It was very difficult to understand where the money would come from. It was very scared and returning home in such a situation is a different kind of insult. There were also days when I was very sad, depressed, things were very difficult and challenging. I used to cry, feel lonely, but there was a voice inside me that she used to say, don’t give up. Nimrat’s perseverance was found when he got a successful role in The Lunchbox (2013) with Irfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Produced by Ritesh Batra and produced by Guneet Monga, Anurag Kashyap and Arun Rangachari, the film won the Grand Rail D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and changed the direction of his career.
