Actress Gauahar Khan has come a long way in her career — starting with modelling to featuring in music videos, reality TV shows and films. The star, however, doesn’t see soap operas in her future.
“I am accepted [across] the industry. The best part about my journey is that I have got more and more love, continuing love for Gauahar Khan, the personality than Gauahar Khan the actor, you know; so I feel like if reality is what people want to see me in, then that’s what I am going to give them,” she said.
Khan prefers being in reality shows such as Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3 and Bigg Boss 7.
The actress is also releasing a fashion line of her own.
The 34-year-old made her movie debut with Yash Raj Films’ Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year.
“When people can relate to me for the person I am, and women and girls of all ages come up to me and say that I am a kind of an inspiration for them, that’s what is my motto of life. That’s what I want to do. I want to influence people in a positive way. So, if reality television is that, so I think it works,” Khan said.
In recent times, content-driven films are turning out to be bigger winners than the typical commercial, mainstream movies.
Asked if the Hindi film industry is changing for the better, Khan said: “You can’t do a comparative study of what is better and what is not, because at the end of the day, going to the cinemas is about entertainment. So, content-driven also needs to somewhere make you feel happy, sad, broken or shocked. That’s all forms of entertainment, not just a no-brainer kind of comedy or dance.”
The actress feels as long as the audience in the theatre is entertained and “take something back for them, that’s what movie going and cinema love is all about”.
