Sobhita Dhulipala on North Vs South films
Talking about the debate around north versus south films, Sobhita told India Today, “I don't think it is a new war at all. The war has just become more visible now because of cinematic successes. But since pre-independence there has been debate on what should be the national language. India isn't really a union of states in a way. It's a country where we are all tied together. We cheer for our cricket team but inherently, we are very different in our food and culture and languages. We should acknowledge and celebrate it. Homogeneity is not something that is natural or something I root for. I like the differences.”
Sobhita Dhulipala on leaving modelling
Sobhita entered the entertainment industry after winning the Femina Miss India Earth 2013 title at the Femina Miss India pageant. Talking about why she left modelling for a career in acting, the actor also said during the conversation, “Miss India happened at the tail end of my college. I had just graduated and I enrolled in Masters. I just wanted to be cool and I got through. I didn't know what one does after that. I always thought fashion to be very cool, I always saw it in the magazines or on television. I would look at the models and just be amazed. I wanted to belong with it. However, when I started modelling, there was no fulfilment that I could find. I arrived at a clarity then that I want to be able to express myself creatively and I started auditioning for ads and through that, I auditioned for films. Halfway through that, I knew it was my calling. So I took a longer route to my calling. I sampled everything that came my way.”
