Bollywood actress Disha Patani is known for her classy fashion sense and remarkable performances.
However, you would be surprised to know that the first career choice of Disha Patani was not acting. Let’s find out more.
Disha Patani recently revealed in an interview that she never wanted to become an actor and her career choice was to become a pilot in the Indian Air Force.
As per reports, in an interview with Bazaar India, Disha said, “Funnily, it was never my dream to become an actor. I wanted to be an Air Force pilot and was pursuing engineering. During college in Lucknow, one of my friends told me about a modeling contest that took all the winners to Mumbai. And who didn’t want to travel to Mumbai? I applied and ended up winning (in 2013)… From there, I was spotted by an agency, but since I couldn’t fulfil my college’s minimum attendance requirement while modelling, I decided to continue walking the ramp… It allowed me to be independent, earn for myself, and not rely on my family.”
“As a child, I didn’t have many friends because I was too shy to even have a conversation. I am still the same person, but much more confident. It’s hard for people to imagine that those in the film industry, which is otherwise so loud and boisterous, could be introverted. But being an actor doesn’t mean one has to socialize all the time. It is important to be yourself and do what makes you feel comfortable and is right for you. I suppose I’m just your regular girl-next-door,” she also added.
She made her Bollywood debut with the sports biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) and was last seen in Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai.
