Neresha gets her Hollywood break

Neresha Sukreem has been destined for success since before she could walk. In 2009, she won Miss South Asia South Africa followed by Miss India Globe.

Neresha, pictured, relocated to Mumbai, India, where she spent the better part of three years studying acting, before returning home to KwaZulu-Natal.

She wanted more and has set her sights on Hollywood.

The determined young lady decided to align herself with the right people in order to move forward. Recalling the words of experts, Neresha recites to herself: “Align yourself with people on the same mission as you and success will be inevitable”.

“I often heard that time was against me, however I stayed true to my vision and let my passion for success drive me. It did not matter what the bottom looked like because I had my eyes firmly set on my goals and I knew I was not going to give up until my dreams became a reality.”

In October last year, after being scouted by Elsubie Verlinden of Just You Artist and Model Management, Neresha participated in the final round of the International ARTS Talent Showcase (IATS) at Silverstar Casino.

There she auditioned for international talent scout Kim Myers as well as independent casting agent Rhavynn Drummer who also casts for Tyler Perry Studios.

Affirming her belief that international is not impossible, Neresha received the much-anticipated call back, securing her a spot at the Applause Rising Talent Showcase (ARTS) in Orlando, Florida in July of this year.

There she will be afforded the opportunity to showcase her skills in front of renowned talent agencies and scouts, such as Disney, Nickelodeon, Tyler Perry Studios and more. – Citizen reporter
