Actress Pooja Sree to foray into Mainstream Cinema, looks for 2014 Last Quarter to be the best period in her career!

Coming from a non-filmy background & making a debut in movie is not a simple task & specially in today’s world where recommendation or the privilege of being a star kids or having a God-father gives you an added advantage & no matter how talented you are, it takes big courage & patience to make the presence felt.

Actress Pooja Sree is one of those actress who is trying to make a difference to the likes of Kangana Ranaut, Vidya Balan or Meena Kumari whose acting skill overshadowed the rest. Pooja is confident to be in that leap.

“I enjoy acting. Acting is in my blood, it is in my genes, it is in my DNA and you can see that on screen I like doing different roles. I can’t do just those films where I am looking pretty and sing and dance around trees. I want to act in a substantial role” says Pooja Sree in a candid talk to the Editor-Entertainment of Indian Affairs. Ten years back the perception was Indian cinema was only about auteurs like Satyajit Ray and Mrinal Sen but in the last ten years the tide turned to the opposite. “Now, it is largely about Bollywood and we are forgetting the great tradition of the 50s and 60s. It’s time to balance it. I am serious, I have done my homework.”

The way I look at my career in cinema is that of a role that can be remembered for 100 years, something which will have the right mix of our tradition, culture & our rich heritage, we have many talented directors in Indian cinema who are perfectionist & I look forward to working with them. “As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are – what others say is irrelevant.” I believe in my positive attitude & confidence, to me self-esteem is important than to bow down to the mighty of rich & powerful who often look at you in that angel, fortunately I have been lucky to have associated with some of the brightest human beings as I believe “Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.” & Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.

“Lack of confidence, sometimes alternating with unrealistic dreams of heroic success, often leads to procrastination, and many studies suggest that procrastinators are self-handicappers: rather than risk failure, they prefer to create conditions that make success impossible, a reflex that of course creates a vicious cycle.” says Pooja Sree
