Simran once ruled the roost in South Indian cinema with glamorous and performance-oriented roles. She actually began her film journey in Hindi, acting alongside stars like Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Govinda, and Mithun Chakraborty. Though Simran made her Bollywood debut in 1995, the veteran actress still feels the industry isn’t fully aware of her body of work and revealed instances that left her disappointed.
Talking to Chennai Times, Simran said, “I haven’t met many people in Hindi who are good at heart and welcoming. While I’m okay with look tests, many in Bollywood still ask me to send test videos to see if I’d suit a role and expect me to work for one-tenth of what I’m paid in the South. So, I’ve decided that I’ll do Hindi projects only if they are actually aware of me.”
Simran recently appeared in Hindi projects such as Tiger 3, Gulmohar, and Citadel: Honey Bunny. The actress revealed that she had contrasting experiences with each of these teams. While she felt very comfortable working with the Gulmohar team, she approached one of the other projects half-heartedly as she couldn’t connect with the team well.
