Simaran Kaur who rose to fame for being the voice behind the cartoon character Nobita is currently essaying the role of Niyati in her on-going show Aggar Tum Na Hote.
The actress in a recent interview shared the interesting story behind her name. She said, “The name Simaran is quite common. And there are other TV actors and models having the same name, who has worked in this entertainment industry since the time I was a kid. Google has mixed up my work profile, and pictures with other Simrans. So, it gets difficult for people to recognize me. Also, I am 24 and single, while most of them are older and are married. Sometimes people get misguided when they see my picture with the wrong age and information”
Quoting William Shakespeare, she says, “Shakespeare is great and probably rightly said ‘What’s in a name’ but times have changed and in my opinion it is everything. I came to Mumbai to make a name for myself. I wish one day the whole world acknowledges me by my name and who I am, and not confuse me with anyone else.”
Talking about the name Simaran becoming a rage after Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s success, the actress shared, “My friends and colleagues crack jokes taking DDLJ references all the time. DDLJ is my favorite movie, my mom named me after watching that film. She really liked Kajol’s character. Therefore, when people tell me ‘Jaa, Simaran, jaa, jeele apni zindagi’ I reply ‘wohi toh kar rahi hoon’, I am living my life to the fullest. I live life one day at a time and every girl must follow her heart,” she concluded with a smile.
