I wish to be a good girl for my parents, nice woman for my in-laws: Rali Nanda


From a practicing Odissi dancer to becoming a full-fledged actor(actress), Rali Nanda has traveled a lot of path. With unassuming, beautiful actress, with her characteristic smile and elegance has etched a different image in the minds of Oriya audience in just four years.

In a face-to-face interaction with me Rali shares her experiences and discloses her future plan.

Subrat: You are now a popular film star. Did you strive to be one, or it
just happened in your way?
Rali: Before landing a role in a film I was dancing Odissi. I stood first
in a dance festival and so offers poured in.


Subrat: When? What was the occasion?
Rali: It was in 2007.At Bhubaneswar.


Subrat: How did you take offers?
Rali: I was as frightened and nervous as any newcomer. Initially, I tend
to decline offers.


Subrat: Which is your first?
Rali: Kalingaputra. I was not in mood. I credit its director Braja
Kishore Tripathy for what I am today. When I refused, afraid of
acting, he inspired me. He charged my confidence by assuring me that
they needed a dancing girl, not much acting.



Subrat: Please, share your experience in the first film with our reader(readers).
Rali: I was quite afraid. But the unit was wonderful, very hospitable.
I learned a lot from my interaction with them. I would act, no, ape
before them and they were laughing.



Subrat: How many films you have so far acted in?
Rali: Four films.


Subrat: Which is your best?
Rali: All. But I like Akashe Ki Ranga Lagila. There is a lot of dancing there.



Subrat: In all most all your films you are invariably assigned a dance
sequence integral to narrative. How so?
Rali: Yes, they add dance numbers as commercial gimmicks. Why they
visualise on me? Because I am a dancer.



Subrat: And all your dances in films are classical?
Rali: I love classical dance. As a child I was dancing
instinctively...my mother tells me. I owe it all to my parents. After
God's blessing, I have the love and affection of my father and mother
all along. My mother got me admitted in a dance school when I was a
child. Since then I have not turned back.



Subrat: What do you wish in your life?
Rali: I wish to be a cute dancer and an adorable actress. Above everything else, I wish to be a good girl for my parents and a nice woman among my in-laws after marriage.


Subrat : Thank you very much for this interview.
Rali : Thanks.
