Not
many are aware that the Iranian-born Elnaaz
Norouzi who shot to fame with the recent web-series Sacred Games,
was actually charmed by Shah Rukh Khan's
movies, which became the biggest reason for her to come to India.
"Iranians
love India and Bollywood. But as I grew up, my relationship with Bollywood
became more and more special as my mom and I would watch at least one Bollywood
film every week," quips Elnaaz.
"We
were crazy about those romantic Shah Rukh Khan films and I fell in love with SRK and wanted to work in Bollywood
after that," she reminisces. "Even my dad is a big Bollywood fan, so
watching Hindi films became a passion for me. I remember buying loads of
Bollywood film DVDs and music albums in my childhood. I knew so many hit songs
by heart, even without understanding the lyrics back then."
Elnaaz's
luck shone as she actually landed in India and also got to work with her idol
Shah Rukh Khan in two ads.
"It was indeed a dream come true," beams the Sacred Games star.
What's
more! By now, the newbie has perfected her Hindi diction too. Elnaaz is proud
that she dubbed all her dialogues in Sacred Games, where she featured along
with established stars Saif Ali Khan,
Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, the series is based on Vikram Chandra’s critically-acclaimed novel by the same name.
