An Exclusive interview with Supermodel & Upcoming Bollywood Actress Scarlett Wilson
Jassi from Punjab2000 get’s the low down with the gorgeous model, dancer & actress Scarlett Wilson
- Tell our viewers about your journey to Bollywood how and why?
The journey till now has been fun; I came to India on a modelling contract and because I had trained in performing arts & dance forms such
as Jazz, Ballet, Tap Dancing, Contemporary and acting in musicals, back in London, I got an offer to show off my dancing skills in the movie Shanghai.
2. Did your ambition to be in Bollywood happen really quickly for you or has it taken much longer than expected?
It happened by chance actually, I was aware that Bollywood is a big industry and has a lot to offer, but I never thought I’d be a part of Bollywood so quickly.
3. Being a foreigner, how fluent are you with the Hindi language if at all?
I am working on my Hindi and taking lessons on it, I can understand a little bit of Hindi & I can manage to speak a little.
4. Do you prefer the Indian lifestyle or the British culture?
I frankly prefer the British Culture as I was born and raised there. But I am getting used to the Indian Lifestyle.
5. Settling in – did you know anyone in the Bollywood industry before you made the move?
Not really, I got to meet a lot of people in the industry when I came to Mumbai
6. How was it telling your family & friends, that your passion was here and wanted to move out?
It was easy as I used to travel a lot on dance contracts outside of my country, and my family was so supportive.
7. What major changes did you have to make or major steps you had to take to make the move complete?
To be honest, hardly anything at all, as I said I work abroad a lot, so it was nothing major at all
8. Tell us about the new Jazzy B video Feem, how did that happen?
Well I auditioned and got a chance to do the video, it was a lovely experience working with Jazzy B. The shoot lasted about 3 days & the concept was amazing, I wish I could say more, but it’s a safe to say it’s going to blow the socks of people!!
9. Have you ever listened or heard of Jazzy B or any other Bhangra artist before this project?
I have only heard of Jazzy B when I came to India and have seen some of his videos, they were all very creative and I never thought I’d be featuring in a Jazzy B video thou. I don’t think I have heard of any other Bhangra artist..
10. Who else are you working with right now? Any forthcoming projects you can let our readers know about?
I am shooting for a special song in Prabhudeva’s next movie ” R.. Rajkumar” starring Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha & I’m in as of yet untitled Bollywood movie opposite Rajeev Khandelwal, which is set to release in 2014 directed by Ahsan Hayder. Some of my previous projects have been associated with brands like Asian Paints with Saif Ali Khan , Milano biscuit with Hritik Roshan, Being Human with Salman Khan, FORBES, Olivia , LG and many more.
11. Do you have any role models in the Bollywood / Tollywood industry?
My role model is definitely Aishwaria Rai Bachchan. I have been obsessed with her since the day I landed in India .. I could watch her endlessly. I also really look up to Katrina Kaif for how much she’s grown in this industry especially from not being from here.. She definitely inspires me.
12. Would you consider doing Punjabi film to?
I wouldn’t mind although learning the language would be a challenge, but I would be up for it, if the right project came along. I think I could play / pass of as a good Punjaban Kuri 🙂
