Nimrat
Kaur
first
caught
everyone's
attention
with
brilliant
performance
in
Ritesh
Batra's
The
Lunchbox.
Her
next
Bollywood
project
was
Akshay
Kumar-starrer
Airlift
in
2016.
After
a
gap
of
six
years,
the
actress
recently
did
a
film,
Abhishek
Bachchan's
Dasvi.
In
her
recent
interaction
with
a
leading
publication,
Nimrat
explained
her
absence
from
Bollywood
post
Airlift.
Nimrat
told
Hindustan
Times
that
she
wished
that
she
could
have
chased
her
last
Hindi
project
way
quicker
with
a
new
project
and
added,
"But
that's
something
you
can't
control,
especially
me,
because
I
work
abroad,
too.
Straight
after
Airlift,
I
went
abroad
to
do
a
television
show
called
Wayward
Pines,
which
took
six
months."
Before
returning
to
the
west
to
film
the
eighth
season
of
the
TV
series,
Homeland,
she
did
a
Hindi
web
series
titled
The
Test
Case.
Further,
Nimrat
admitted
that
the
need
to
match
up
with
her
first
project,
The
Lunchbox,
drove
her
to
be
picky
when
it
came
to
Bollywood
scripts.
"You
want
to
work
much
more,
but
things
don't
fall
into
place
or
you
don't
get
the
kind
of
project
that
you
want
to
do.
There
are
a
host
of
variables
that
you
can't
control.
I
tend
to
not
worry
about
things
that
are
beyond
me,
and
thankfully,
that's
a
part
of
my
nature,"
Nimrat
said,
further
adding,
"I
haven't
consciously
stayed
away
from
[Bollywood]
films.
I
genuinely
wanted
to
work
on
more
projects."
On
being
asked
if
she
was
worried
about
being
forgotten
by
the
Indian
audience
because
of
her
long
absence
from
the
industry,
she
explained,
"I've
enough
faith
and
belief
that
whichever
project
I
take
up
in
any
part
of
the
world,
no
matter
how
much
time
it
takes,
there
will
always
be
a
space
in
the
audience's
mind
for
me.
I
hear
things
like
'they
want
to
see
more
of
me',
and
that's
very
encouraging.
It's
the
'absence
makes
the
heart
grow
fonder'
kind
of
thing."
Nimrat
Kaur
was
recently
seen
in
Abhishek
Bachchan-Yami
Gautam
starrer
Dasvi.
