South’s Simran rings in her 45th Birthday today 4 April opens up on her two-decades interview
Reacting to her performance and success in Gulmohar, the Sharmila Tagore Manoj Bajpayee starrer, Simram attributes that glamorous roles are the path to becoming a performer
Simran reigned in Tamil cinema in the late 90s and early 2000.
She yet again proved her mettle in acting in the recent Amazon Prime Original film Gulmohar.
It perhaps might come as a surprise for people in the North to see her exceptional performance in the Hindi film, but Tamil audiences were much capability of Simran even back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
But, Simran didn’t break out as a performer in her first Tamil film.
In her interview twenty years ago, the most talented actor amid shots on the sets of Nuvvu Vastavani, the remake of Vijay’s Thullatha Manamum Thullum, Simran, at the start of her journey in the entertainment industry reveals that back then a female actor had to do glamourous roles before emerging as a performer.
.
The interview was taken when Simran’s career was at the peak of her career.Shehad by then acted in films like Vaali, Thullatha Manamum Thullum, and Kannedhirey Thondrinal. This film went on to prove that she was more than yet another glamorous heroine. In an industry, where only a few female actors from up North has managed to earn fame for their performance like Kushbhu Sundar and Jyotika, Simran quickly cemented her place. However, it has not come without a lot of struggles for the actor.
On glamorous roles, Simran added that Glamorous roles are the path to becoming a performer. Glamorous roles will only help for the first one or two years, then you have to prove yourself as a performer. It doesn’t mean I will stop doing glamorous roles, but I will not be doing vulgar films
On performance-oriented films from then on Simran asserted that when she came into the industry everyone called her ‘glamorous doll’, but she did Poochudava, where it was a good role but the film didn’t work. Also, audiences expect that (to be glamorous) and the film industry also forces you to wear (glamorous costumes). However, that was only her initial stage. Gradually, she groomed herself as a performer.
Simran’s two-decade-old interview seems to still be the case for many female actors.
