Actress Elnaaz Norouzi has opened up about her journey in the entertainment industry, describing it as a path marked by hard work, learning and new experiences. She also spoke about her strong bond with India, saying she considers it her country.
Speaking to IANS, Norouzi admitted that building a career in the industry was not easy and required considerable effort.
“I mean, my journey has definitely evolved. I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t easy and it was a lot of hard work. It was a lot of me learning a lot of new things and finding my way through to the destination that I want to be at,” she said.
The actress expressed gratitude for opportunities to work across different countries and entertainment industries, while emphasising her connection with India.
“And I think I can say I’m really grateful to be able to work in all of these territories that are not necessarily mine, in countries that are not necessarily mine, even though I see India very much as my country. But to be now venturing out to Hollywood and getting these opportunities is beautiful,” she added.
Born in Tehran, Iran, Norouzi moved to Hanover, Germany, with her family at the age of eight. She later relocated to India to pursue an acting career and gained recognition for playing Zoya Mirza in the web series Sacred Games.
She will next feature in The Fix, a film based on a true story. Describing the project, Norouzi said audiences could expect action, unexpected twists and a completely different on-screen avatar.
“I think what you can expect from The Fix is a lot of action, a lot of real stories, because this film is based on a true story. You can expect a lot of twists and turns, and you can expect me in a totally different avatar,” she said.
