Australia born actress Emma Brown Garrett is eyeing Bollywood movies and is working hard to make it big in the B-town. Garrett made her big screen debut with Bengali movie ‘Shukno Lanka’.
The beauty revealed that she is learning Hindi -all for the love of Indian cinema.
"Though I got discovered first by the Bengali film industry, it was a good ground before venturing into Bollywood," Emma quoted.
"I have just finished my first in Bollywood. It's called 'Dum Maro Dum' with Rohan Sippy and I also star in 'Yamla Pagla Deewana'. I play Sunny's wife in the second film. I had dark hair but I went blonde for both the roles which are typically gaudy," she added.
"I speak Hindi in 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' and I speak Russian and bad English in 'Dum Maro Dum'," she added.
Discussing about venturing into Indian cinema, Emma said: "My husband and I decided to come to India to work and we've been here for two and a half years now. My husband runs a financial business and I thought I can come to India and try my acting and it worked out. We've both been very successful here and we've kind of settled in India nicely."
"I landed my first job only after two weeks of arriving here. I got myself an agent, auditioned for the role and director Gaurav Pandey was very happy," she said.
Having studied films and acting and pursued singing back home, Emma is now eyeing a Bollywood career.
"I have got an opportunity to work with veterans in my early days itself. People like Mithun Chakraborty and Dharemndra ji, who has just completed 50 years in Bollywood.
"It is so different for me to be involved in these films as I don't have the history and the background. It's so new for me to come into the country and experience it from a fresh perspective. I am falling in love with Indian cinema every day," she added.
