Though she started off as a Hollywood import, today, Lauren Gottlieb has become a household name, thanks to her perfect score almost every week on the dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6. The actress, who made her Bollywood debut with Remo D'Souza's ABCD: Any Body Can Dance, will soon be seen in ABCD 2 alongside Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor.

While she was shooting the climax of ABCD 2, she got a call from the makers of Detective Byomkesh Bakshy to choreograph a promotional song for the film. Lauren reveals, “Sushant Singh Rajput has always been vocal about being my fan and he suggested my name to Aditya Chopra and Dibakar Banerjee.“ Adding that she had the time of her life working with them, she continues, “I was completely bowled over when they asked me to not just choreograph, but also feature in their next promotional song, Calcutta Kiss.“

Interestingly, she has also been signed on to play an ISI agent in Vashu Bhagnani's Welcome To Karachi. “I've always wanted to step out of the dance zone and do an action role. So, I'm just pinching myself that my dream has come true,“ she enthuses.

Lauren, who wants to do more films in the future, says, “Everyone I work with calls me a workaholic and I'm happy with that. This is my biggest passion in life and I'll always give it my all.“
