Many people choose a diverse career path in their lives. From opting for medicine to being a Youtuber and a lot more. From time to time, people change their career according to their plans and desires in life.
However, this particular actress was once an anchor, worked in two channels and has predominantly worked in Punjabi and Telugu films. She is set to make her Hindi debut with the film Ab Dilli Dur Nahin. The actress we are talking about is Shruti Sodhi.
Shruti Sodhi was born on 22 September 1988 in New Delhi. She worked as a news anchor in two Hindi channels and made her Telugu debut with Pataas, which released in January 2015 and even worked in a Mandarin film titled Buddies in India. Shruti got her big break in her career in 2015, when she made her Telugu debut with Pataas opposite Kalyan Ram.
She said, “Telugu cinema is very glamorous, larger-than-life. She added, And I have had fun doing such different films there.” In her Hindi debut, Ab Dilli Dur Nahin, Shruti plays a typical girl-next-door opposite Imran Zahid.
“I have played the girl next door in several films so that is something I know I can do,” she said. “I have played journalists and singers and homemakers. So, the Deepika Padukone of Cocktail has not happened for me.
And those characters are few anyway,” she added. Shruti further explained, “Even the commercial filmmakers are doing rooted cinema these days with grounded stories. But I do glamorous Telugu songs.
So for me, I get that aspect of performance there. She gets her dose of glamorous roles through the songs she appears in South films and was famously part of the hit Taxi Vaala song in Sai Dharam Tej-starrer Supreme in 2016. Her debut film, Ab Dilli Dur Nahin is a small budget film.
Shruti explained why she chose a slice-of-life film for her Hindi debut. “In today’s time, you see all kinds of films because there are so many avenues. It was essential for me to do a good project instead of something mass commercial and I am glad I did.
” The plot centers around Abhay Shukla, a boy from a small town in Bihar comes to Delhi in search of success. Abhay comes from a family which is struggling with difficulties. Abhay's goal is to appear in the IAS exam and achieve success.
Despite being a small film, she is thankful for it. “I am happy. I once did a film where there were six National Award winners with me.
I did it in 2015 and it has still not been released. So an actor goes through those phases too. So when, you get a release where people react and appreciate, it is always a special feeling.
