Neha Dhupia started off as a lead actress and somehow today, we see the glam-doll only doing character roles in the movies. However, the actress has made it pretty clear how she has remained unaffected by the success of her contemporaries. Neha has even voiced her thoughts on her journey in B-Town as also her experience of playing boss to Vidya Balan in 'Tumhari Sulu'.
In regards to her contemporaries, she said, “I think the worst thing to do is to compare yourself to others. It’s the shortest route to go to hell. There are contemporaries of mine who I started off with, and we all came into the industry together like Lara (Dutta), Priyanka (Chopra), and Celina (Jaitley). All of us started our careers together. It will only be fair for me to compare myself to women like that.” She also added, “I think having a beautiful family and children is also a huge moment to be proud of and some have taken that way.”
The actress also believes that she will eventually get her due for being an actress. On this, she said, “It will happen, I promise myself it will happen. If people think I am good, it will happen and if it doesn’t, there is only one person to blame - and that’s me. I have been here long enough and people have been wonderful. It’s just a matter of time, as this industry is a good leveller. I have too much gratitude as I have come a long way and can rest in peace."
Neha will be seen playing boss to Vidya in 'Tumhari Sulu'. She said, “This film comes with a lot of promise. There are moments where you want to stand up and clap for her (Vidya). It’s a coming of age kind of story that shows no matter where you are, you are capable of doing much more. I am not too different from Maria, my character from the film. Here, she takes a chance with Vidya, and even in real life I am a woman who likes taking chances.”
