For A 25 year old Dubai-based Iranian model, landing a role in a Bollywood movie is a dream come true, especially when it is in a Vikram Bhatt movie.
Mahsa, has just been offered a lead role in romantic thriller called Purple Lake opposite Aashish Chowdhry, 'Abu Dhabi's The National newspaper has reported.
Mahsa said she has been a fan of Bhatt since she was a child. "I've grown up on Vikram's films. To meet him was quite an experience for me," she told the newspaper.
Two days after a meeting in Mumbai with the director, Mahsa was asked to audition for Purple Lake. "I was the most nervous I'd ever been in my life. I thought I'd give it a go as I had nothing to lose but I never thought it would come to anything," she said.
"Bollywood for me is the most amazing place on earth, it's the land of non-stop musicals with my heroes from when I was as young as five. I used to stay up late at night with my nana to watch Bollywood movies like Karan Arjun. I loved Shah Rukh Khan," Mahsa said.
"I'm still not sure how it happened. I never imagined I'd ever star in a Bollywood movie. I'm so grateful," she said.
Purple Lake is a love triangle in which an Indian girl raised in England is caught between family values and forbidden love. Mahsa has made TV commercials for brands such as Pepsi, Sony and Panasonic, as well as fronting campaigns for Emaar, the property developer. It will now have to take a back seat so she can concentrate on acting.
The model — who has most recently been the face of UAE telecom giant Etisalat — moved to India to boost her modelling career and says her Indian-style looks helped her land the role.
