This beauty queen is excited about her debut flick with Golden Star Ganesh
Neha Shetty
This teenager who recently passed her pre-university course is already a beauty to reckon with after winning the first runner up in Miss South India, this year, and the Miss Mangaluru title, last year. Mangaluru born beauty Neha Shetty, residing in namma Bengaluru, is on cloud nine and waiting to reign as the heroine in one of the year’s most anticipated sequels — Mungaru Male 2. The model who makes her debut with this sequel, is excited about her dream role.
“Since then, it has been a childhood dream to become an actor. With support from my family members, I pursued my modelling career along with my studies. After I won Miss Mangaluru title in 2014, I was the first runner up in this year’s Miss South-India. I have been modelling even while I was preparing for my II PU exams. It was during this period, Shashank sir who noticed my photos after the events contacted me. Initially was in two minds as my final II PU exams were approaching. Later, I approached him. I was a bit skeptical as I knew that many had auditioned for the role. However, I was asked to give the audition and few days later, I was told that I will be acting in Mungaru Male 2,” says Neha.
The Mangaluru-born and Bengaluru-bred brought actress has plans to continue her studies through distance learning. “My mother is a dentist and my father a businessman. I have a younger sister who is studying in sixth standard. They have been a great support system for me. Though I am good at studies, there was no pressure for me to score 90 and above. They let me choose my profession. In fact, my parents would help while I was away modelling. They would approach the concerned teacher to help me prepare ahead of exams. I wanted to study B.CA (bachelor in computer application), and now that I will be acting, I will do it through long distance education,” she shares.
The teenager who loves to tap her feet, has learnt dancing from MS Sreedhar, a fashion choreographer in town. “I have learnt to balance my work and studies, so when I am not on any assignment, I make sure that I spend a lot of time with my family. Though my little sister studies in sixth standard, she advises to be careful while I am at work. She and my parents are more excited about my debut than me,” she smiles.
Neha says she will be seen portraying a character which is full of life, with lot of adventures. “Of course, there will be rain,” she adds. Though she has already been approached for few projects, she has decided to wait till she completes Mungaru Male 2. She is looking forward to act alongside Golden star Ganesh.
