Disha Patani Talks About Feeling Accepted In Bollywood; Says Even Shahrukh Khan Was A Nobody Once
Disha Patani opened up about how she feels welcomed and accepted by audiences. Taking the example of Shah Rukh Khan, she said that even a person who enters as a nobody can make it big in the industry.
Disha
Patani
has
been
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
for
just
for
years,
yet
she
has
made
her
mark
on
everyone.
Having
started
her
Bollywood
career
with
M.S.
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story,
Disha
has
settled
into
the
industry,
and
was
last
seen
in
the
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif
starrer,
Bharat.
Disha
opened
up
about
how
she
feels
welcomed
and
accepted
by
audiences.
Taking
the
example
of
Bollywood
Badshah
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Disha
said
that
a
person
may
enter
the
industry
as
a
nobody,
but
it
is
his
or
her
talent
and
hardwork
which
will
take
them
a
long
way.
In
an
interview
with
Bombay
Times,
Disha
said,
"People
have
been
kind
and
accepting
of
me.
If
people
don't
like
you,
it
has
got
nothing
to
do
with
you
not
being
a
star
kid.
If
you
are
talented
and
hardworking,
people
accept
you.
It
doesn't
matter
where
you
are
from.
Shah
Rukh
Khan
was
a
nobody
when
he
came
to
this
business
and
look
at
him
today."

She
further
revealed
that
she
likes
to
disconnect
from
a
film
after
she
is
done
with
it,
and
that
she
doesn't
like
to
watch
herself
on
screen.
"Once
I
finish
a
film,
I
completely
disconnect
from
it.
I
don't
like
to
watch
myself
on
screen.
It
makes
me
feel
very
awkward
so
once
I've
shot
it,
it's
done," she
said.
Some
time
back,
Disha
had
spoken
about
how
she
is
a
tomboy
in
real
life
and
that
she
doesn't
consider
herself
hot.
Disha
is
currently
shooting
for
Malang,
a
romantic
thriller
which
is
being
directed
by
Mohit
Suri.
The
film
also
stars
Aditya
Roy
Kapur,
Anil
Kapoor
and
Kunal
Kemmu.
The
film
is
slated
for
Valentine's
Day
release
in
2020.
