Elli AvrRam on her journey from a Swedish girl to a Bollywood star

Elli AvrRam has always been the master of her own fate, making her way from Sweden to India on her own in pursuit of her great Bollywood goals.

The actress has gone a long way and is now one of the most well-known entertainment figures. However, the voyage was not without its challenges and ups and downs.

Elli, who was recently asked to talk at TedXBITS in Goa, discussed how she went about attaining her ambition, her hardships, and how she cherished every step of the way, urging others to do the same.

Said Elli, “There could be people in your life who could push you and give you some help but the rest is all you. That’s the advice I’d give everyone with a dream out there, everyone who wants to achieve something in life.” Adding that she said “When I came here, I adapted to the culture and the traditions, with a lot of love and respect…I would travel by train…I started modelling, I took ice-cold showers in the morning, I learnt to live with cockroaches and insects in a small apartment”

She continues that “I knew, that I was going for my dream in life…and that’s the best feeling ever because I didn’t want to grow and always think ‘what if’. I was fierce and I said to myself I’m going to go for it.”

Elli also shared some intriguing details from her personal life and her upbringing, she said, “I grew up in a Greek Orthodox home, which meant even if I stepped out clubbing; my mother would accompany me or else I wasn’t allowed to go out. So when I approached my father and nervously told him how I wanted to go to India and try my luck in Bollywood, he asked me a lot of questions and I was young and didn’t have all the answers.”

Elli AvrRam’s funny attitude had the crowd in stitches as she encouraged them with her story.

The actress has a busy schedule ahead of her, with Tiger Shroff’s ‘Ganapath,’ ‘And farewell,’ with legendary actors Amitabh Bachchan and Neena Gupta, and ‘Naane Varuven,’ with Dhanush.
