What Aneet Padda Said
During a conversation with Cosmopolitan India, Aneet Padda said that she dreamed of being on the big screen since she was just 10 years old. The actress recalled going through fake audition websites online, submitting ‘awkward’ self tapes and Snapchat pictures to bag a project. She recalled breaking into the industry through horrible biodata and filter pictures. She also revealed sitting for hours on her computer searching for ‘auditions near her.’
As a 17-year-old, Aneet landed herself on some shady websites which were scams. She even hired friends to rehearse some scenes with her. However, Padda wasn’t always a cinema-goer; she recalled falling in love with the craft when she was 10, but always second-guessed herself after her father and her friends didn’t support her dreams. But it was during the unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic that Aneet’s quest for a project intensified.

Before making a name with Saiyaara, the actress was a part of Kajol’s Salaam Venky and Big Girls Don’t Cry. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know.
