The young actress Kavya Thapar might be a Mumbai girl, but she started her journey in films down South in 2018. This year she forayed in Hindi industry with the film Middle Class Love and the recently released web series CAT, featuring Randeep Hooda. She has some credible work to her name down South, including Ee Maaya Peremito, Market Raja MBBS, Ek Mini Katha and an upcoming film with Ravi Teja. In Hindi too, she is slowly making a place of her own. Recently, Kavya Thapar got into an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble where she spoke about balancing work between industries, working in Hindi language, the talent exchange between the regions, her dreams, her experience with Randeep and more. Excerpts from the interview:

You have worked in South before, but coming back to the language you have grown up speaking, does it feel special?

"Being a Mumbai girl and having grown up watching Bollywood, the dream was always ki main bhi kabhi Shah Rukh Khan ki Kajol banun. I had Kareena Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit as idols, so to even be in this industry has been a blessing. For me, to reach even the place that I am at today is a success in itself."

And this is a good time to have such an approach as people are accepting of artists working in different places and not limiting them to a certain language or industry...

"The exchange has been happening for a long time, even Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif had their first films down South. People here have been watching dubbed versions of Nagarjuna sir, Kamal Haasan sir, Ravi Teja sir or Rajinikanth sir's films. They just didn't realise how strong there content was because it was dubbed. It has just come more in forefront and in people's notice now. But this is the kind of evolution we keep on witnessing. When I got my upcoming film with Ravi Teja sir, I thought that people in South will recognise how big is this opportunity, but here they won't realise it as much. I thought that even my friends and family will think that it is amazing but they won't have the knowledge of his stardom, but I was so surprised that when I told them, they all knew about him, his films and his stardom. So, it is indeed a great time."
