Patralekhaa made her Bollywood debut with Rajkummar Rao in CityLights and later took on a daring role in Vikram Bhatt’s Love Games. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, she shared that she accepted the role out of fear of losing the opportunity, as she was not getting any work at the time.
Patralekhaa admits she took Love Games role out of fear of losing opportunities; says, “I didn’t have work”
When asked if she’d take on a bold role like Love Games again, Patralekhaa responded, “No, I wouldn’t do it again. You know, that Patralekhaa from 10 years ago was a very different, much younger girl. For her, it was very important to keep working. She was basically, perhaps I was, dealing with some kind of anxiety issues, like ‘I need work’. I didn’t realise it back then, but I acted out of desperation.”
She further stated, “The Patralekhaa I am now wouldn’t do that. And let me be clear—there’s nothing wrong with the film itself. They made what was written in the script. But could I do justice to it? No. Was I the right person for that film? No. That was on me. I should have thought about it and not taken it out of fear—fear of losing a project. Because the truth is, I didn’t have work. So I honestly blame myself for that decision.”
The 2016 Indian erotic thriller, directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt, and Bhushan Kumar, starred Patralekhaa, Gaurav Arora, and Tara Alisha Berry in the main roles. The film was met with mostly negative reviews from critics and was a commercial failure at the box office.
Patralekhaa was most recently seen in the film Phule, directed by Anant Mahadevan. The movie, which also stars Pratik Gandhi in the lead role, is based on the lives of Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule. She will next appear in the revenge crime thriller Suryast, alongside Lara Dutta. The release date for the film has not yet been announced.
