Pallavi Sharda – A trained classical dancer from Melbourne with a dream to make it big in the world of Cinema is all set for a dream debute. Perhaps she is the only actress to have two films releasing in Bollywood and Hollywood on the same day - DUS TOLA and WALKAWAY on October 22nd 2010.
Speaking about her role while in Spice Mall Noida to promote her Bollywood release Dus Tola with her co-stars, she said, “My role in Dus Tola is that of a dance teacher Geeta - teaching dance to young village girls and secretly admiring Shankar (Manoj Bajpai) who loves Suvarnalata (Arti Chabria). The story is inspired from a folk tales which is set in a quaint little town of Sonapur that has its share of eccentrics”. Not ready to divulge much about her character she however added quickly that she compose most of the dance sequence for the film.
She once again did not reveal about her role as Sia in Walkaway, an independent cross over film shot in New York in 2009 saying “I like to keep the audience guessing about my Character. What I can say is the role is very different from what I play in Dus Tola and I am very sure people will love it.
On her Bollywood debute playing a second fiddle to Aarti Chabria, she said, “I am not playing second fiddle to Aarti, It’s a parallel role, it’s a love triangle. Infact Aarti and I did not share a screen space.” However speaking about debuting alongside Manoj Bajpai, She said “I am very lucky to start my film career acting alongside Manoj Bajpai. He is not only a great actor but a very good human too.”
A little flash back of her life and she quickly reveals it saying, “I was born and brought up in Australia where I studied Law and Mass Communication in college. But since childhood, I knew stages and screens were my call”. She spent her primary and secondary school years partaking in dance and drama productions and dedicated her extracurricular university life to theatre performances and dance teaching. Multi-lingual and the queen of accents, Pallavi is known in Melbourne for her comedic repertoire.
