Star actress Rakul Preet Singh is enjoying her time in Bollywood and she had five releases last year. Unfortunately, all of them failed on the commercial front and she talked about a lot of things including the difference between South and North films, her relationship, OTT culture and many more in the interview with Times Of India.
She tried to defend the failure of her five Hindi films in 2022 by saying, "The moment my films release, it becomes the past. My energies are always on what I need to do next and how I can do better projects and grow as an actor. I am grateful that things panned out the way they have. I am also grateful to all the makers who believed in me as I got to do diverse films - from a commercial movie like 'Cuttputlli' to a thriller like 'Runway 34' and the campus comedy, 'Doctor G', in which I played a small-town doctor. What's most important is the love of the audience because box-office numbers are driven by too many factors."
She adds, "Sometimes, good movies like 'Runway 34' get way more appreciation on OTT. Of course, the box-office numbers matter when a film is released in the theatres, but I think we understand that we are going through a re-correction phase currently, and the box office alone does not define whether the film is good, or whether you are good."
Talking about her love life with producer Jackky Bhagnani, she claims, "I have always been vocal and whenever that conversation happens, I will be open. I don't have to hide. But I get very annoyed when news is created unnecessarily, especially when there is no chat around it. Given the films I am shooting and the ones Jackky is producing, where do you think we have the time? People make all sorts of stories. I am like chalo great, jab asli mein hona hoga tab pata chal hi jaayega. Whenever it happens, I will be the first one to announce it. As of now, we both are extremely busy with our work."
