Genelia D’Souza recalls being “outsider” in South film industry; says, “They come from a legacy of films”

Genelia D'Souza recently opened up about how the film industry has changed over the years, especially in terms of the crossover between Bollywood and South Indian cinema. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Genelia said that she was once told that those who couldn't make a mark in Bollywood would star in South films. 

She called herself an outsider in the industry and said that she was initially treated differently because she didn't have the same kind of fan base as the other actors she was working with.

Genelia asserted, “In the South, they have a very loyal fan base. They come from a legacy of films. I, on the other hand, was an outsider in two films. But, when I did South films then they used to say that Bollywood dropouts go to the South, at that point in time.”

Genelia also said that though she is not in touch with some of her co-stars from her South Indian films, they always pick up where they left off when they meet in real life. She said that she's excited to see what the future holds for Indian cinema and that she's looking forward to working on more projects in the South.

Coming to the professional front, the 35-year-old actress is currently seen in her latest film, Trial Period, streaming on JioCinema. The film also stars Manav Kaul. She has a bunch of projects in her kitty including Kireeti Reddy's upcoming film, Junior.

Salman Khan’s fan following spans across continents. Yet, amidst the glitz and glamour, Khan is deeply rooted in family values and simplicity. One aspect of his life that often surprises many is his choice of residence. While one might expect a Bollywood superstar to dwell in sprawling mansions adorned with opulence, Khan's home is a stark departure from such expectations. For over two decades, he has called the modest Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, valued at Rs. 100 crore, per Housing.com and Square Yards. Nestled in the posh locality of Bandstand, Galaxy Apartments is not a lavish mansion but a humble 1BHK flat. Growing up with his siblings - Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, sisters Alvira Agnihotri and Arpita Khan Sharma – the building served as a playground where friendships were forged and adventures were had.
