Nauheed Cyrusi’ latest onscreen project SIX has won her a lot of kudos but her social endeavour of opening her closet for the Covid Relief Fundraiser has won hearts. You have recently opened up your closet for COVID relief fundraiser, can you tell us a little about the ideology behind this and what inspired you to go ahead and do this? I’ve tried to help in every possible way I can. I’ve always tried to go the sustainable way and have started thrifting - and then I realized why not give clothes away and at the same time raise funds during these tough times. I have way too many clothes so it just seemed like the right thing to do! …So grateful and happy to be a part of the Salt Scout close sale You have been a part of Bollywood for over 18 years now, you have worked on a lot of different projects. How has the journey been? The journey so far has been pretty amazing. I got into this industry completely by chance and I’m so glad life gave me the opportunity to somehow stick on. I feel it is the most amazing industry to be a part of and I consider myself super lucky and I’m forever grateful. From doing films to now web shows like Bombay Begums and SIX, how do you feel about the transition? This is definitely the best time to be a part of the industry especially for women because the kind of scripts that are being made are so much nicer and I just can’t wait to work more. The lockdown has of course dampened the shooting schedule but I can’t wait to be back on a set super soon! Yes, SIX is out now, it’s my latest release on Hotstar and it’s a cool concept and a fun watch. And actually for the first time, I play a non-sweet girl! Who is the one Bollywood celebrity that you really look up to in terms of their social initiatives? Sonu Sood!
