It’s not every day that you hear a celebrity say they’re not ambitious, but trust Genelia to keep it real.
With her signature smile and down-to-earth charm, she shared, “I’m not very ambitious. When I got married, people were like, ‘You’re on top, where are you going? This is not the time to do it.’ I don’t understand this top-down. I just think I’m good at what I’m doing.”

She explained, “I enjoy doing what I’m doing. Whenever I feel like it, I’m sure someone will see me. It’s not what I feel; it’s what people feel.

Genelia’s appearance beside Superstar Aamir Khan in Sitaare Zameen Par won hearts. Fans were thrilled to see her back on screen, and in such a special project. But for Genelia, the journey to that role was as organic as it gets. She didn’t go knocking on doors. She simply waited for the right vibe, the right moment, and let her work speak for itself.
