But do you know it was not that easy for Hazel Keech to establish herself in the Hindi film industry? She was reportedly judged for her name and accent.
In an old interview with Hindustan Times, Hazel said that she was judged for her name and accent. “For me, it was frustrating coming to Bollywood, growing up in a very Hindu traditional Indian household with a British father and trying to convince people I’m Indian after being judged by my name and accent,” the actress had said. However, she also added that later she did see a change in the industry. She said, “From certain requirements like having classical dance training and speaking Hindi to having none of those matter anymore. Women don’t even need to be Indian anymore. Today, we have leading actresses from different nationalities as well as Indian.”
