Rakul Preet Singh, a rising star in Indian cinema, has made a name for herself through an impressive range of roles. Her journey from Delhi to becoming Bollywood’s celebrated ‘IT girl’ has been seamless. Singh’s success lies in her diverse performances across languages, leaving both audiences and directors captivated.
Despite her rapid rise, Rakul remains grounded. She states, “When I entered the industry, I didn’t know what is the ‘IT girl’. I just wanted to be a heroine and be on the big screen. When I started, people said that five to six years is the shelf life of a girl in cinema but things are changing. As long as you look good and work well, age is just a number. I want to aim at longevity, and I aspire to be like Amitabh Bachchan sir or Tabu ma’am.” Her aspiration to emulate Amitabh Bachchan in her career longevity and impact speaks volumes about her ambition.
In a recent interview with HT Showstopper, Rakul shared insights into her unwavering confidence, “It comes from your childhood. If you are made to believe that you’re good enough, then you believe that you’re good enough. Never have I heard my parents say to me or my brother that ‘tumse nahin hoga’. They brought us up in a fearless and confident manner that for me, it has been ‘main apni favourite hoon, hamesha’.” These words underscore a supportive upbringing that fuels her professional drive.
Rakul Preet Singh continues to defy stereotypes in an industry often driven by momentary trends. Her grounded approach and long-term vision set her apart, inspiring a new generation of actresses. Recently, she received acclaim for her role in “Mere Husband Ki Biwi”. Fans eagerly anticipate her upcoming films, including “De De Pyaar De 2” and “Ameeri”, where she co-stars with Neena Gupta.
Rakul’s commitment to her craft and her aspirations to reach heights like Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu highlight her determination. With several significant projects on the horizon, she remains focused on her career trajectory, embodying both ambition and pragmatism. Her evolving career continues to inspire many, reinforcing her status as a star who balances grace with grit.
