'I had a long struggle,' actress Kavita Radheysham tells Patcy N about her struggles of landing a lead role in Bollywood.

Getting a lead role in a Bollywood movie is not easy, if you have no filmi connections. The road involves a lot of struggle.

Delhi-based Kavita Radheysham would know.

After doing bit roles, and a couple second lead roles, Kavita has now landed a lead role in a film called Main Hoon Rajinikanth. It will release on September 26.

She tells Patcy N her story.

I’ve wanted to act ever since I was in school. My inspirations were Smita Patil and Kamal Haasan.

When I watched Hum Aapke Hain Koun, I went mad. I was in Class 7 then. I promised myself that after my graduation, I would move to Mumbai and become an actor.

My mother and sister supported me.

I did some show pilot shoots and music videos in Delhi. I joined a street play group in Delhi as well.
