Not many are aware that the Iranian-born Elnaaz
Norouzi who shot to fame with the recent Netflix 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 -- one of
Nerolac and the other of Fair and Handsome. "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.
A month before the release of the first season of
the series, Elnaaz also featured opposite Punjabi heartthrob singer-composer
Guru Randhawa in the super successful music video of the single Made In India
released by T-Series.
