Instead of sulking, I decided to jump my hurdles harder
Ms Bharuccha, who will soon also be seen in 'Hurdang', did not think that beauty pageants would be the route to take as she felt she wasn't cut out for it. And, it didn't even strike her. "If it had struck me, I would have still not qualified. I don't have the required height. Besides, I was a very petite,
chhota bachcha type. Also, to be honest, I don't think I was beauty pageant-beautiful." As cool as cucumber- and this girl didn't even sulk that she's an outsider. "Haven't many insiders also struggled? This industry is magic and a lot of it is also luck. My struggles are meant to be mine. I never wanted to blame it on the fact that I was an outsider. So I worked harder and jumped my hurdles harder instead of sulking or brooding over them. Yes, I underwent several auditions and was rejected at many places. I didn't even have a portfolio and I landed up for auditions! I landed up in glasses, jeans, T-shirt and chappals! I thought they only wanted to always see how you act and not whether you look the part."
