Bollywood considered cool in the West: Pallavi Sharda

Mumbai, March 23 (IANS) Indian-Australian actress Pallavi Sharda, who made her Bollywood debut with "Besharam", is happy being part of the Hindi filmdom and says the West doesn`t look down upon the industry.

"I am extremely happy being part of Bollywood or being called a Hindi film actress. As far as West is concerned, they enjoy Bollywood and they don`t look down upon Bollywood," Pallavi told IANS. "Bollywood is cool in the West, especially the song and dance. But yes, sometimes-western filmmakers find it cliched and less crafted. I come from western school and I have been raised in the west, so I think every cinema has their own space." In "Besharam", Pallavi had teamed up with Ranbir Kapoor and her next "Bombay Fairytale", a biopic, will see her with Ayushmann Khurrana. "Ayushman is very mature and I enjoyed shooting with him. If you have an understanding co-star, half of your work gets sorted." Vibhu Puri has directed "Bombay Fairytale".
