Welcome to the world of Bollywood, where dreams are made, broken, and occasionally, turn into Oscar entries! This is your favorite Bollywood snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the tea on Kiran Rao’s latest sensation, "Laapataa Ladies". Buckle up, folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
So, "Laapataa Ladies" is causing quite a stir, having just been announced as India’s official entry for the Best Foreign Film category at the Oscars. Yes, you heard it right! And who’s painting the town red with excitement? None other than our debutant starlet, Nitanshi Goel, who plays the lead role of ‘Phool Kumari’. 🌟
Nitanshi, darling, we get it. You’re over the moon. The 17-year-old practically pirouetted around her room when the news broke. In her own words, “I felt so happy. I was dancing all around in the room. I was brimming with gratitude. I’m really, really happy because this film is so special to me. Especially my character, Phool, has received so much love.”
Oh, and she didn’t stop there. Our young starlet showered heaps of thanks on Kiran Rao, Aamir Khan, and her adoring fans. “They have all given us wings to fly internationally. The way the film is being appreciated now, not just in India but also abroad, feels incredible,” she gushed.
As if we needed more drama, Nitanshi shared a little behind-the-scenes moment that would make any Bollywood aficionado swoon. Apparently, Aamir Khan, while not on set, was directing traffic via WhatsApp! “Aamir sir would tell us if a shot was okay or if it needed to be done again,” she revealed. Imagine that, folks—getting acting tips from Mr. Perfectionist himself, all through a messaging app! 📱
One particularly memorable day, Nitanshi was feeling a bit unsure about a scene. That’s when Kiran Rao swooped in like a fairy godmother with a WhatsApp message from Aamir: "Your Phool is rocking it." Cue the confidence boost!
Since the release of "Laapataa Ladies", Nitanshi’s life has been nothing short of a Bollywood fairy tale. “Ever since the release, the love my character Phool has received has been overwhelming. People meet me with so much love in their eyes, and it’s not just the audiences, but also people from the industry,” she shared, practically glowing. “So many filmmakers and actors, whom I deeply admire, have shown great appreciation for my work. It’s truly been a magical experience.”
For those living under a rock, "Laapataa Ladies" hit theaters on March 1, starring Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastav, Ravi Kishan, and Chhaya Kadam.
Nisha’s Nutshell: Here’s the moral of the story, folks—if you want to make it big in Bollywood, you need a dash of talent, a sprinkle of luck, and apparently, a WhatsApp message from Aamir Khan! ✨
