Why Bollywood offers slow
In an interview with News18, explaining the change, Shehnaaz Gill said, “In Punjabi films, the options for me are many. I can’t say that I am not getting much from Bollywood, but I have become a star in the Punjabi film industry. And that is the true truth. It is right to say log chhadte suraj ko salaam karte”.He added, “All film industries work in this way. If you are popular, people will come to you and want to cast you in their films. Main toh beautiful hoon hi aur actor bhi achchi hoon. I am getting many leading roles in Punjabi films. Another reason is that there are very few female actors there.”
Shehnaaz Gill talks about waiting for the right roles
Even in a Punjabi movie, Shehnaaz Gill revealed that she had to make a choice. He said, “I have been getting many offers from Punjabi filmmakers in the last five-six years but I was not happy with many scripts. Most of them wanted me not to do any heavy duty. All I had to do was smile and laugh. I just wanted to do a good, rewarding job. But thankfully, I got ‘Ishqnama’.”
What Shehnaaz Gill wants from Bollywood
Talking about her attitude towards Hindi films, Shehnaaz said, “When it comes to Bollywood, I will do a film only if I have a role that leaves an impression. Otherwise, koi matlab nahi hai. Cinema aisi cheez hai jahaan aap chhap jaate ho saari umar ke liye. And the only way you will be remembered is if you do a good job.”He explained, “It’s not like I want to appear in every scene throughout the length of the film. But I want my character to be very important to the story, someone who can drive the story.

She said, “I want to do what Radhika Apte does, she is not just about beauty, she is known for her powerful roles. My goal is to become a professional. “The actress will also be seen in ‘Singh Vs Kaur’.
