Guess Which Actor in Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’ Was Just a 9th Grader During Filming?

Hello, my fellow Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite Bollywood snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, back with another dose of tinsel town tidbits! 😎✨

Grab your popcorn because today we’re talking about the pint-sized powerhouse, Nitanshi Goel. You might remember her as Phool from Laapataa Ladies—the bride who got swapped mid-train ride. Yeah, that one! 🌸🚂

Nitanshi Goel: The Teenage Wonder

At just 16, Nitanshi is already basking in the limelight, and boy, does she deserve it! (Not jealous at all, nope.) While most of us were struggling to remember our locker combinations in 9th grade, Nitanshi was busy balancing the glamour of showbiz with the grind of academics. 🤯📚

Nitanshi’s Double Life: Actress by Day, Student by Night

In a recent heart-to-heart on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, The Ranveer Show, Nitanshi spilled the beans on how she juggled her studies and the shoot of Laapataa Ladies. "I took my exams right before the shooting," she revealed. And get this—she sat for her finals the day after the shoot wrapped up! Talk about dedication. 🌟✏️

Nitanshi wasn’t just memorizing lines; she was also cramming math and science during breaks. Imagine flipping between Phool’s innocent dialogues and theorems. Seems impossible? Not for our girl! 📖🎥

Mom Knows Best

The secret weapon in Nitanshi’s arsenal? Her mom, who’s a teacher. "There’s a perk of having a teacher as your mom," Nitanshi quipped. Looks like home-schooling has never been this glamorous! 🏠👩‍🏫

The Role of a Lifetime

In Laapataa Ladies, Nitanshi plays Phool Kumari, Deepak Kumar’s bride, opposite Sparsh Shrivastava. The movie, also starring Pratibha Ranta, Ravi Kishan, and Chhaya Kadam, is a rollercoaster of laughs and drama. Directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Rao, Aamir Khan, and Jyoti Deshpande, it hit theaters on March 1, 2024, and is now streaming on Netflix. 📺🎬

From TV to the Big Screen

Before Laapataa Ladies, Nitanshi was already a familiar face on television and web series. She’s been in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Indu Sarkar, and Maidaan. And let’s not forget her stints in Thapki Pyar Ki and Inside Edge. Talk about a packed resume for someone who’s not even out of high school! 🏫🌟

Nisha’s Nutshell

So, what’s the takeaway here? If you think balancing school and work is tough, try doing it with a camera in your face and a script in your hand. Moral of the story? When life gives you lemons, make a Bollywood blockbuster! 🍋🎬
