MUST WATCH: Patralekhaa interview with Rajeev Masand

She is so lovable, honest, sincere and humble. I had never heard of her before, nor saw any of her films yet, but this interview has made me want to root for her.

This girl has tremendous amount of courage. If it was someone else, he or she would had probably given up. But this shows how much she loves acting.

In a time of star kids and cruel nepotism, hope all patralekhas win, it gives us hope

So now imagine if Alia didnt have KJo shoving down our throats. After a disastrous debut in SOTY she would have gone crying to her biological Papa and would have gotten a film a Love Games. Then would she have seen the sort of success she saw later? And people say Alia deserves it!

She is a Shillong born, obviously she is gonna be cool.

Thank you, Ponymo for bringing my attention to her interview. I also had only recently gotten to know her as Rajkumar's girlfriend, I didn't know anything beyond that. It's sad to learn of her ongoing struggle in the industry. But this is the cruel reality, without that fabricated cover on the front about there being no such struggles for outsiders for opportunities, or no nepotism. This is the truth that people go to such lengths to deny. I will surely pay attention to her work from now on, she sounds lovely. And she's so adorable when she talks about Rajkumar. It's great to know such a couple with mutual love and respect between them, who are inspiring each other and having each others' backs through ups and downs of their lives. Hope her struggle pays off and she gets her big break and more opportunities!

And after listening to things like this, how can you deny nepotism exists and how it helps people?

I can't look at that face 😆 😆

If I watch this. I'll have to put on my sunglasses 😆

Wow. Kudos to her for pulling through that. Man someday I want Patralekhas to dominate the industry. Am zero percent eager about those shitty Instagram starkids who are going to debut soon. Leaving one or two the rest are just horrible. No spark at all. I wish BW had a good mix of starkids and outsiders. Am rooting for Taapsee,Kriti and now Patralekha. Always rooted for Deepika too because of the same reason. Deepika was lucky to get that star-studded break and esp having a mentor like SRK. These other girls not so much. But here's hoping good stuff comes their way this year.
