When Neha Dhupia helped models with their shoes

Neha recalls that before becoming an actress she attended her first fashion show helping models with their shoes backstage.

“I started my career with a beauty pageant but not many people know that the first fashion show I attended was by helping models with their shoes backstage. So now each time I walk the ramp at a fashion show I am reminded of it,” Neha Dhupia is quoted as saying by a news agency.

Talking about preparing for her role in Pappu Can't Dance Saala, Neha said she observed the backup dancers on the sets.

“I observed the backup dancers on the sets and their ambition, dedication and attitude towards their profession reminded my of my initial days of struggle,” Neha Dhupia said.

However, Neha added that one’s struggles never end.

“The struggle hasn't ended though. Every actor first struggles to achieve a certain position and then to maintain it,” she said.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala has Neha Dhupia playing a Mumbai girl pitted against Vinay Pathak's character hailing from Benaras. Directed by Saurabh Shukla, the romantic-comedy is releasing on December 16.
