Pratibha Ranta on Life Post-Laapataa Ladies: ‘Ab Har Project Mein Bada Dhamaaka Chahiye’ | Bollywood

Picture this: Pratibha Ranta, the rising star with a twinkle in her eye and dreams as big as a Bollywood blockbuster! Fresh off her dazzling debut in "Laapataa Ladies," which made waves as India’s official entry to the Oscars 2025, she’s got her eyes set on the stars—even if the Oscars snubbed her this time around. But who cares about that when you’ve got Bollywood in your pocket, right? 😉

Look Ma, No Oscars!
Pratibha, darling, Oscar toh nahi mila, but who needs a golden statue when you’ve got golden opportunities knocking at your door? You see, while "Laapataa Ladies" didn’t make it to the shortlist, it sure made Pratibha the talk of the tinsel town. And as they say, "Apna time aayega!"

Holi Ke Din, Dil Khil Jaate Hain!
This Holi, Pratibha is busy shooting—no pichkaris, just cameras! 🕺 She reminisces about the chilly Holis of Shimla, where water was a no-go, and umbrellas were her best friends. But now, in aamchi Mumbai, she’s all set to embrace the colors, if only work didn’t come calling. Kaam ka pressure hai bhai, kya karein!

Channeling Urmila Vibes
Pratibha recently found herself in a reimagined avatar of Urmila Matondkar’s iconic "Rangeela Re" for a Holi campaign. But let’s be real, "Urmila ma’am ke jaise koi nahi!" She admits to being inspired, not recreating, because some legends are best left untouched. Pratibha, my dear, you tried dancing in front of the camera for the first time and realized that it’s not all naach-gaana—it’s hard work, boss!

Life After "Laapataa Ladies"
With dreams as bright as a Diwali firecracker, Pratibha is now ready to take on the world with her big aspirations. She says the film has given her the confidence to choose roles that challenge her. She’s got multiple projects lined up, ready to surprise us all. "Ab toh bas aage badhna hai," she exclaims with excitement.

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Mein Sab Chalta Hai!
In Bollywood, you might not win an Oscar, but you can still win hearts—and that’s priceless! Keep your dreams big, your scripts fresh, and remember: life is like a Bollywood movie, full of drama, dance, and a happy ending (hopefully with lots of masala!). 🌟
