Gauahar Khan says that she was scorned by the producers, one made my Kundali, and the other said tum kya Madhuri nahi ho…

Gauahar Khan landed herself in the film industry 20 years ago through a beauty pageant, today she is one of the most well-known Television stars and is consistent with her performance. She says in the interview “ I’ve had my struggling years, where I thought I’m not going in the right direction.”

The Tandav actor rarely opens up about her struggles because “I don’t talk about the things that don’t make me feel grateful about the better things I had in my life. I like to be in a state of gratitude.”

It's only rare interviews like these that she shares about her struggles with her fans. She further adds, “ There have been days when I had to travel in local trains in Mumbai, distributing my pictures. I signed my first film in 2003. The news was all over the place. I was so excited about it! They kept hanging up on me, and then they just dropped me. The muhurat was done with someone else. Thank God, it wasn’t my debut. I’ve had crazy experiences that I don’t want to recollect. I’m never bitter about it though.”

She shares her incident with the producers and recalls him saying “Back then, there was this producer, he had produced the biggest blockbuster and a National Award-winning film. He took my date of birth and other information, saying that he doesn’t do anything without his panditji’s suggestions. I was called 10 days later only to be told, ‘You’ll never make it in the industry, you’ll never become an actress. Even if you do, you’ll only do shady and side roles’. I was just 22 then, but I still had confidence in myself, so I told him to watch me.”

She says that there was one more incident where the producer said “You really think that koi producer tumhe welcome karega aur bolega tumhe leke picture banata hoon?’, ‘Tumhe kya lagta hai tum Madhuri Dixit ho?”
