Regina Cassandra on playing Punjabi girl vs South Girl

Regina Cassandra on playing Punjabi Girl vs South Girl. Regina Cassandra speaking to scribes came up with a surprising take on playing a Punjabi girl and South girl. Speaking about her journey Regina said I have been working since I was 9 years old. I have done ads short films and movies over the last Like 25 odd years. So I had come with a certain sense of understanding of what goes on just being a girl in this industry and being a South Indian in this industry it is not easy.

Regina added When I audition for anything in Hindi they look at my language skills. Can this girl talk Hindi How does she sound when she talks Is she working on her Hindi It is imperative. If Iam playing a South Indian they let that accent stay a little. But I worked on trying to reduce my South Indian accent when I speak Hindi. But when it comes to the South there so many North Indian girls who have become heroines in the South and started with Tamil or Telugu and gone on to be big names. We didnt care whether the girls could talk Tamil or not.

Regina on missing out offers shared I have missed out on so many roles because my Hindi was not up to the mark that people thought it should be. Like I cant play a Punjabi girl. And thats ok. But a Punjabi girl can play a South Indian girl. And it has happened to me. Imagine in the South someone else being chosen over me and in the North the same person has been chosen over me. Where do I go.
