One of the reasons for zeroing in on Simran is apparently because she is seen as the only female star in Tamil Nadu who can create as much impact as a male superstar! She’s also quite popular in the other south Indian states like Andhra and Karnataka. Yes, the Punjabi lass with a Mumbaiya accent had indeed arrived on the Southern screen.
And after the success of her debut 'Once More', her mini skirts, petite figure and impish smile made Simran the good-luck charm for many-a-producer. What was ironical in this success story is that Simran never intended to simmer in the south as her upbringing, background and personality all pointed to a successful stint at Bollywood.
In fact, Simran recalls that her foray down south was more to rid of the ennui. “It was not a once-in-a-lifetime role or any such thing. What made me say yes was the opportunity to share the screen with Sivaji Ganesan among others." For the actress, life under the arch lights always had a fairytale beginning. She anchored Superhit Muqabla – Doordarshan's very own countdown show on Metro Channel a decade ago after performing on stage for her college.
