Swara Bhaskar was mocked over her dress choice in first acting audition

Swara Bhasker recalled the bitter experience in her first acting audition that stayed with her for long time.

In a recent interview with Mid-day, the Veere Di Wedding actress disclosed that she was a simpleton, more like a “jhalla” (carefree) person when she first landed to city of dreams.

The world of Glitz and glamour was a distant dream for Raanjhanaa actress at that time.

“I was a basic girl with a happy-go-lucky attitude. I got my first facial, manicure and pedicure after coming to Mumbai.”

“I was thinking that I am looking my best,” the Bollywood star told media outlet while speaking about the initial days of her struggle.

To her dismay, the casting director mistook her for an assistant director in place of an actress. 

After clearing the doubt, she asked the 33-year-old, “Why are you wearing a bedcover?”

This statement remained with Bhaskar for quite some time. It kept her going and helped her change to the person she is now. 

“I learn the tricks and trades of this tinsel town,” she added.

Adding more, the Prem Ratan Dhan Payo actress shared about her first house hunt in Mumbai. "I lived in an office for almost a month or two in my initial days," she informed.

To note, the Bollywood diva has made a mark in the industry with her versatile acting. She speaks on issues blatantly that most of the actors avoid due to controversy.
