Dil Dhadakne Do' star Ridhima Has Rebellion In Her Genes!

Ridhima Sud is making her Bollywood debut with Zoya Akhtar's "Dil Dhadakne Do". The newbie says that her parents were not too happy about it, but now that she has finally made it to B'Town, she credits her rebellious genes for it.

"My father was not too excited, to say it plainly, acting in Hindi films is hardly seen has a right profession by non-filmy parents, let's face it this industry doesn't have the most dad-friendly image! My mother too was hesitant. But then, when they were younger, they were rebels in their own way, I guess the fact that I didn't confirm didn't really surprise them. And here I am today! I pursued acting after I graduated from NYU," Ridhima said.

"It takes a certain level of confidence in yourself and your abilities to take such risks and I was only able to make sense of the world and my place in it by the end of college," she added.

Ridhima has worked in movies like "Ballad of Rustom" and "Kajarya".

"Dil Dhadakne Do" also features Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar, Anil Kapoor and Shefali Shah. The movie revolves around a dysfunctional Punjabi family on a cruise trip.
