Hrithik’s Cousin Pashmina Roshan Overcame Rejection: Depression, Self-Doubt, and Her ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ Debut

Welcome back, my fabulous Bollywood gossip mongers! It’s your favorite nosy, witty, and utterly irreverent Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the beans on the latest glam and drama in Tinseltown. 🎬✨

So, gather around for today’s juicy tidbit about none other than Pashmina Roshan, Hrithik Roshan’s cousin, who’s all set to make her Bollywood debut with the film Ishq Vishk Rebound. But hold your horses, people! Her journey to the silver screen has been anything but a cakewalk. 🌟

Pashmina, darling, I remember when you thought marketing in the UK was your calling. Oh, how times change! She confided in an interview that she faced numerous rejections and bouts of self-doubt that led her down the dark path of depression. 🎭

“In the early years, I was utterly confused,” Pashmina revealed. "I wasn’t sure if I could ever be a good actress, despite my theatre experience during school days. I even applied to various universities in the UK for a marketing course. Visa in hand, room booked, but summer holidays hit, and there I was, too depressed to join my friends in their fun escapades. My afternoons were spent sleeping away the gloom." 🛌💤

A photoshoot for the gods! Pashmina decided to dip her toes into artistic waters by getting herself clicked. “I showed the pictures to my dad and uncle, and they gave me the green light. Every person has something unique; it just needs polishing, they said,” she mused. And thus began her whirlwind journey of acting and dance classes, from Bharatanatyam to every possible audition in town. 💃🎬

After countless rejections and years of family feedback, the universe finally threw Pashmina a bone, and she landed her first film role. “I’m immensely grateful for this opportunity,” she admitted with a smile that lit up the room. 🌟

Dreams on the Sets of ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ 🎥

Ah, the nostalgic days when young Pashmina would tag along with her sister to the sets of Koi Mil Gaya. The filmmakers had recreated the quaint village of Kasauli in Film City, and it was there that her love for films was born. “We never wanted to leave the set,” she reminisced. Her passion for acting was further ignited by the excellent guidance of her theatre teachers. 🎭

Roshan Family Ties 🧬

For those living under a rock, Pashmina Roshan is the daughter of Rajesh Roshan, the younger brother of Hrithik Roshan’s father, Rakesh Roshan. The talent clearly runs deep in this family! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

From K3G to Ishq Vishk Rebound: Jibraan’s Journey 🌠

The film Ishq Vishk Rebound, releasing on June 21, features Pashmina in the lead role, alongside Rohit Saraf and Jibraan Khan. Remember Jibraan? Shah Rukh Khan’s onscreen son from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? Yep, that’s him! He also flexed his skills as an assistant director in Brahmastra. Quite the resume, huh? 🎬✨

Nisha’s Nutshell 🥜

In the ever-glittering world of Bollywood, the moral of the story is: When life gives you rejections, turn them into dance moves and photoshoots! And remember, behind every star is a mountain of failed auditions and a treasure trove of family feedback. 💫✨

Until next time, keep your popcorn ready and your gossip antennas up! 🍿📡
