Joining the Hindi entertainment industry was a dream that Assamese actor Surabhi Das harboured since childhood. Having played prominent roles in five Assamese shows and 30 music videos, the actor came to Delhi seeking work. Her dream came true when she was called to audition for the upcoming show, Nima Denzongpa.
“They saw my YouTube videos and asked me to audition for the role. Two days later, I was called for a mock shoot, like several other artistes from Assam,” explains Das of her first brush with auditions in Mumbai. She admits she was a ball of nervous energy when she landed in Mumbai. “I was surprised by the favourable treatment I received. It was nothing like I had imagined. I thought I won’t get the respect an actor deserved because I was from Assam, but the team put me at ease,” adds Das.
