Naila Grrewal made her acting debut in 2015 with Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha, which featured Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor.
She went on to play supporting roles in Bareilly Ki Barfi, Bhangra Paa Le, Dear Maya and Thappad until she found fame in the Ravi Kishan-led satirical series, Maamla Legal Hai.
Naila is also one of the four leads in the upcoming rom-com, Ishq Vishk Rebound, which will see the debut of Hrithik Roshan's cousin Pashmina Roshan.
"There are a lot of people who tell you to be different, to be like X, Y, Z person. At the end of the day, it boils down to yourself talking to yourself. And I do that. I go to the mirror and talk to myself and tell myself to constantly recall who you are, where you're coming from, what is your foundation, what is your background..." reveals Naila.
"You have to constantly remind yourself to stay true to yourself,"
The industry tends to typecast actors who play smaller parts.
I don't see it like that. I just made sure to keep auditioning for interesting parts.
I also constantly work on my craft because the casting directors are seeing the progress. They are aware that this is what she was before and this is how she is now.
Thankfully, I didn't face the idea of being typecast.
I was playing different kinds of characters even when I took up smaller parts. It was just about persevering to get bigger and meatier roles.
Again, it's not about the duration of the role. I don't want to get stuck with the idea of a lead part.
I feel our audiences are more evolved today. They don't care who the lead is.
They care about what they're seeing on screen and whether that resonates with them or not.
