Simran

Simran earns my admiration for conquering a language not her own. Born Rishibala Naval in Mumbai, the heart of Hindi cinema, she instead blossomed in Tamil films while also working in Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, collecting three Filmfare Awards South along the way. To leave your home industry and reach the summit in another linguistic world takes formidable resolve. I am always drawn to artists who prove themselves on unfamiliar ground rather than coasting on home advantage. Her sustained command of the South Indian screen is the kind of magnetic presence that holds you even through a monitor.
