‘After Baby, I could have waited for something better’

A ctor Madhurima Tuli started her career in Bollywood with Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. She followed it up with films such as Toss (2009), Kaalo (2010), and Warning (2013). It was really in 2015, with the Akshay Kumarstarrer spy thriller, Baby, that she got noticed, according to Madhurima.

“You need to be in bigstar films to get recognised. Those films give you that kind of exposure,” says the actor, who is now doing a TV show. Her film Hamari Adhuri Kahaani released soon after Baby, but did little for her career.

“(Director) Mohit Suri really liked my work. But the character was so small, and the film also didn’t do well. I could have avoided doing that film. After Baby, I should have waited for something better to come up,” says Madhurima.

TV is going well, but she’d love to work in a bigscreen biopic. “I love biographies. They help you grow. It’d be wonderful to play somebody who motivates and inspires many,” she says.

Madhurima Tuli was paired with Akshay Kumar in Baby
