Shehnaaz Gill Admits Bollywood Hurdles: 'Language Barrier Exists'
6 Oct
Summary
- Shehnaaz believes a language barrier limits her Bollywood film opportunities.
- She acknowledges past haste in selecting impactful, yet unimpressive, roles.
- Her debut film, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, was a fun experience without regret.

Shehnaaz Gill has opened up about the challenges and lessons learned during her Bollywood career. The popularity gained from Bigg Boss 13 paved the way for Hindi cinema, but the initial projects did not align with her aspirations for substantial roles.
Gill suggests that a language barrier might be a reason for fewer Hindi film offers, stating that filmmakers haven't fully seen her acting potential. She draws a parallel with South Indian actors succeeding in Hindi cinema, expressing her intent to make a significant mark from Punjab in Mumbai.
Reflecting on her career choices, Gill admits to picking projects too quickly in the past, which led to roles lacking impact. She views this as a learning experience, emphasizing the importance of choosing scripts that offer a meaningful part for the actor, especially since the audience invests in watching them.
Despite past regrets about hasty decisions, Gill has no regrets about her Bollywood debut in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, a film she found enjoyable. She also noted valuable advice from Salman Khan to pursue impactful roles post-debut. Beyond films, Gill is now more selective about reality shows, preferring to engage audiences in cinema halls.
