Arjun Rampal said his elder daughter Mahikaa Rampal wants to become an actor.
Arjun Rampal recently revealed that his elder daughter Mahikaa will be venturing into Bollywood soon and wants to become an actress. Arjun Rampal recently spoke about the advice he shared with Mahikaa before her debut and how keen his daughter is on becoming an actress.
“Mahikaa, my elder daughter, is very much keen on becoming an actor. She always had that in her. From school days, she would be in plays, she would get nice parts to do and she’d be really good at it. She’s always been an entertainer and a bit of a clown, at home. You kind of see that, because even I was like that when I was a kid. You kind of want to be the centre of attraction, that’s how you know ‘yeh actor banegi’ (She will become an actor)… She went to ‘Met Film School’ in London and she graduated from there, which is what I told her to do and see every aspect of how a film is made,” he told India Today.
Arjun added, “I told her that it’s not an easy job, and she’s a very mature and sensible girl. She said, ‘I’ve seen what your careers are like when things aren’t going right, the sadness, the depression, the lows that come with it, and I’ve also seen the highs. But I want to do it just because I enjoy it. I love it.’ So I said that’s the most important thing, if you have your heart in it and if you really love it and you’re going to be honest with it and can continue that relationship with your career on that level, then you will do something special. But you have to train and have to work hard.”
Arjun said he told Mahikaa, “I didn’t get that. I can give you that. I can give you advice from whatever I have learned. I can share wisdom with you because I have experienced things. But the journey will be yours. It’s going to be a journey and it’s not a journey filled with people. It’s a journey which is of solitude. It’s a journey of a lot of self-reflection, and internalising a lot of things and you have to walk on that path. If you’re getting in for the glamour, the big trailers, or having lots of followers and lots of this and that, you are going to make yourself very unhappy and I think she gets that.”
Meanwhile, Arjun is currently seen in Crakk with Vidyut Jamwal, Amy Jackson and Nora Fatehi.
