Sherlyn
Chopra
has
been
a
part
of
the
entertainment
industry
for
over
a
decade
now.
The
actor
has
done
a
number
of
films,
music
videos,
and
TV
shows
as
well.
She
talks
about
her
journey
so
far,
giving

her
background.
Sherlyn
Chopra
talks
about
her
early
life
Sherlyn
Chopra
went
candid
about
her
early
life
and
shared
that
she
was
a
brilliant
student.
She
shared,
"I
was
a
very
studious
girl!
Books
were
my
best
friends.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
was
the
darling
of
my
teachers
because
I
excelled
in
academics
and
extra-curricular
activities.
Then
came
a
time
when
I
got
fed
up
with
being
a
bookworm.
That's
when
I
decided
to
give
modeling
a
try."
"Little
did
I
know
that
I
would
get
completely
immersed
in
the
world
of
showbiz.
I
started
my
modeling
career
with
a
beauty
pageant,
and
after
winning
the
title
of
Miss
Andhra,
there
was
no
looking
back," she
added.
In
fact,
as
a
school-going
girl,
she
wanted
to
be
a
doctor
like
her
late
father.
"I
was
mesmerised
by
the
world
of
science.
But
when
I
was
19,
I
found
myself
being
drawn
towards
the
glitz
and
glam
of
showbiz."
She
further
smiled
and
said,
"I
was
always
a
nerd
with
reading
glasses!
So,
to
see
myself
all
dolled
up
in
a
glamorous
avatar
was
something
I
had
never
ever
imagined
or
experienced
in
my
life!
It
felt
ecstatic
and
surreal."
Sherlyn
Chopra
about
her
film
career
Sherlyn
thoroughly
enjoyed
working
in
Ekta
Kapoor's
Paurashpur
2,
recently
released
on
AltBalaji,
where
she
plays
a
Maharani.
The
actor
shares
that
the
entire
cast
and
crew
were
a
delight
to
work
with.
"My
first
film
was
Red
Swastik,
produced
by
Yash
Raj.
It
was
a
psychological
thriller,
in
which
I
played
a
serial
killer.
Director
Vinod
Pande
loved
my
audition
and
believed
that
I
was
apt
for
the
role.
The
rest
is
history,"
she
shares.
Sherlyn
Chopra
on
her
struggling
days
Recalling
her
struggling
days
to
find
a
foothold
in
the
industry,
she
adds,
"It
would
be
an
understatement
to
say
that
I
faced
struggle.
I
was
often
humiliated,
and
my
worthiness
was
questioned
time
and
again.
Every
time
they
broke
my
spirit,
I
would
take
days
and
weeks
to
heal
and
to
strive
again."
Sherlyn
Chopra
on
her
further
aspirations
About
the
kind
of
work
she
is
looking
forward
to
and
the
changes
she
wants
to
see
in
Bollywood,
Sherlyn
says,
"Substantial
work.
I
prefer
quality
and
substance
over
mediocrity.
And
as
far
as
the
industry
is
concerned,
it
would
be
great
if
nepotism
and
sexism
took
a
back
seat."
Shedding
light
on
her
dream
role,
Sherlyn
said,
"It
would
be
to
play
Julia
Roberts' role
in
Erin
Brokovich,
as
I
find
that
character
in
the
film
emotionally
compelling."
