I was crazy about Sridevi, Madhuri, and Anil Kapoor

After getting started as a model and an advertising professional, Meera Chopra found her true calling in acting. Developing up as a motion picture buff, the actress experienced idolised various Bollywood actors. In an interview with ETimes, the actress spilled the beans on her behalf changeover from South films to mainstream Hindi cinema, among other things.

Meera: Switching to Bollywood was a good conscious decision. I would state that South was a great learning ground but I felt I need to grow as an actor. It will always be comfortable to accomplish films in the words you are familiar with. For me personally, the terminology was a large barrier there. I could never get yourself a hang of it. Bollywood was something I wanted to explore. I was quite finished with the South.

Meera: I was a major Bollywood movie buff! I was in love with Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit. I think they made an enormous impact on me during my growing-up years. I would view every Sridevi motion picture and make an effort to copy her. Aside from them, I was a huge admirer of Anil Kapoor as well. When 'Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja' unveiled, I took a camcorder with me to the theatres to have photographs of Anil Kapoor as there have been no camera cell phones.

Meera: Acting was not a thing that I wanted to accomplish. It never occurred if you ask me that I would someday make acting into my job. I had just finished my 12th standard and was likely to go abroad for further studies. I did part-time modeling in Delhi and got an offer to accomplish a film in the South. I was barely 17 years old after that. It was a major Tamil film with Surya and AR Rahman's music. I visited Chennai to shoot; it was a 40-day routine. My first scene came out brilliantly. It was my first time before the surveillance camera. That was the time when I realised that this gives me happiness. I didn't know after that it if I wanted to perform this for the others of my entire life but I wanted to provide it a make an effort and then find out if I want to make a career of it.
