Tollywood is a great launch pad for newcomers: Abha Singhaal
Abha Singhaal, who was last seen in Dil Deewana, believes that it was her destiny that led her to Tollywood first, before she could find a breakthrough in Bollywood. ���It���s true that everyone would want to work in a language they are most comfortable in; but showbiz is full of surprises. When I got a chance to make my debut in Telugu while trying to find roles in Hindi films, I took it up.
Maybe it was my destiny,��� Abha smiles. Although her debut film didn���t click at the BO, the actress admits she is quite impressed with the film industry. ���Tollywood is a great launch pad for newcomers and people here are great to work with. It���s a huge market. I can understand Telugu to a certain extent now and I am working on learning it,��� she says.
Born in New Delhi, Abha grew up in Mumbai and had she not got into films, she might very well have been a national-level athlete. ���I was a very good student and played basketball at the state-level. I think playing sports has helped me stay focused on my job, when I began modeling,��� Abha reveals. Ask her where she sees herself in future and she says, ���I understand the nature of my profession and have no illusions that I���ll keep acting for the rest of my life. I hope to start a production house or an ad company in future; But now, I���ll do everything I can to make a name for myself.���
The actress has already signed her next film and will be seen opposite Naveen Chandra in an upcoming film, Racha Rambola. ���I���m playing a the role of a radio-jockey in the film. I���ve already shot a song with Naveen for the film and the next schedule will begin soon,��� she says.
