EXCLUSIVE: Munna Michael's Nidhhi Agerwal - I like Tiger Shroff a lot; lucky that I got a friend in him
Nidhhi Agerwal gets candid about her chemistry with Munna Michael co-star Tiger Shroff.
Nidhhi Agerwal - cute, chirpy and full of life - she is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Sabbir Khan's Munna Michael. Just two days are left for the film to hit the screens and well, it's her first film, she is looking forward for the reaction by the audience. In her own words, "I am nervous and excited at the same time. I hope people like me and our film. I have my fingers crossed as we all have worked very hard for it."
Given that she doesn't belong from a filmy background, what made her decide that she wants to pursue acting? To this, she told us, "I am a simple girl from Bangalore. As I didn't belong from a filmy background, I didn't know how to become an actor. I started doing modeling and continued for good three to four months and then I started getting Kannada movies. Then I realized that I really want to try getting into acting. A lot of people started saying that have 'I have a Bollywood face'."
Five minutes into the conversation, we asked her about the much-talked about word - NEPOTISM. What's her take on it? Did she find it difficult as she didn't have filmy connections? On this, she said, "I do agree with the fact that for an outsider, it's a little difficult to find that starting point. But, that doesn't mean that being a starkid makes it easy either. All the starkids have to keep proving their mettle as actors. You see Alia Bhatt or Ranbir Kapoor - there are such brilliant actors. I just know one thing that hard work is the key to success and I believe in this."
Coming back to Munna Michael, she has been paired opposite Tiger Shroff. Sharing the experience of working with Tiger, she stated, "Working with Tiger Shroff has been an amazing experience as he is very polite and always very supportive. We always had that positive energy on the sets. He used to help me with everything and I think he understood that it's my first movie and always made me feel comfortable. It has also been a teaching experience."
As it's a world of glamour, speculations around her personal life would be a part of it. On these lines, she told us that she was in a way mentally prepared for all this, but always keep her calm and the only way to handle all this, according to her, is not let all the speculations affect her.
Talking of speculations, we asked about the rumors of her dating Tiger Shroff. Addressing it, she said, "These were just speculations. I do like Tiger a lot for the fact that he has a golden heart and I am lucky in a way that I got a friend in him. I knew no one in Mumbai and he is the first one I got to know in the city. I am grateful to him for helping me that much as it's my first film. Tiger and I were made to sign a no-dating clause and then also the rumours came up."
About Tiger, we all know that he has a mastery when it comes to dancing. Was it hard for Nidhhi to match with Tiger? "A lot of people don't know that I am a trained Belly dancer but Tiger is on some other level. No one can replace him when it's about dancing. He is perfect at it. It was tough, but I tried matching up to him," told the young actress.
The movie also stars the powerhouse of talent - Nawazuddin Siddiqui. How was it working with him? She said, "Nawaz sir is extremely hardworking and taught me how to relax on days when I was a little nervous. He used to come and just do his work. It was really nice working with Nawaz sir."
At the end, we asked her who is on her wish list after Tiger and well, then the answer is Ranbir Kapoor. "Ranbir Kapoor is my favourite actor. His eyes are so intense and that does a lot of talking. He is an amazing actor and I would want to work with him. His acting methods are different and he puts in a lot of effort in his movies and it's quite visible," Nidhhi said and signed off.
