I have become more confident after PINK

'I did not grow up watching Bollywood movies because I don’t understand Hindi. The only Bollywood movie I have watched is Piku.'

'I may have seen Hindi films with my mother when I was younger, but otherwise, I haven’t sat down to watch a Bollywood film.'

Andrea Tariang gets ready for her big Bollywood debut

Shillong girl Andrea Tariang hasn't watched too many Hindi movies in her life but she's making her debut in a film starring Bollywood's biggest superstar Amitabh Bachchan.

"I don’t really watch films. I don’t have a TV at home; I don't like watching it," Andrea tells us. "I read books. My friends wonder how I survive!"

Andrea has been living in Mumbai for the past two years. Initially, she shifted to the city to become a make-up artist. But she soon realised that she did not like putting on make-up for anyone else but herself!

So Andrea took a break, went back to Shillong, and came back as an intern in a media company. Three months later, it didn't work out, and she headed back to Shillong.

She tried event management and modelling, next before PINK finally happened to her.

"I love Bombay!" she exclaims. "Compared to Shillong, Bombay is super-fast. I don’t think I can live in Shillong, for now at least."
