It is one thing to manifest success for yourself and a whole another to make the right moves for it. As consistency and persistence take a back seat at times, these are the times of playing your cards right to pave your own path. And Sobhita Dhulipala is proof. In this era of the lucky girl syndrome', she has undertaken the practice of acting on her instincts. Quickly emerging into a precious gemstone under the high pressure of performance, Sobhita is set to claim her spot in the business of entertainment.
A taster of early success can very easily cap one's scope of potential. For the actor visiting the 69th Cannes Film Festival with her debut film Raman Raghav 2.0', it was a sign to reach for the stars. "Everything was new and I must have been 23 at the time. I was learning on the job and so, I think I was processing it on-the-go. More than pride, there was a feeling of, 'okay, I'm glad I'm being validated by people who embody merit'. It felt good but I don't think at that time I understood it to be honest. My director, Anurag [Kashyap] sir was the one who was very, very thrilled about it. I was just happy enough that people thought it was cool."
You'd expect a life-changing moment such as winning the title of Miss Earth would act as a catalyst for instant fame. But it was only a foot in the door for her curious soul as there was much to discover. "It was very different. I was very geeky and awkward as a kid. For me to be allowed into a space like that felt like I was bluffing. Because on the inside, I really didn't know how to belong. After I won the pageant, I think I was more shocked than surprised. I liked fashion and desired to be a model because I didn't actually understand what it means to be a part of the entertainment industry. And I didn't frankly think that I could be an actor."
