Srishty Rode, who was evicted from Bigg Boss recently, has landed her first Hindi film just two days after her exit from the show. Srishty tells BT, “While many people were shocked to learn about my eviction, I was taken aback when the makers of the film told me that they were hoping for me to step out soon. I got a call regarding the film two days after my eviction and I have signed on the dotted line. I don’t think anyone has benefitted from Bigg Boss so fast. Apparently, the makers were considering another girl, but they changed their mind as soon as I was evicted. We shall be going on floors soon.”

About the film, she says, “It’s a sports film on kite flying. I play the heroine opposite Abhishek Dua, and the team is fantastic. Since my father is a DoP, the first question he asked me was who the DoP is in this film. When I told him that he is someone who has worked on several big films, he was happy. I have been offered TV shows as well, but I thought that this was the right project at this time.”

Ask her if she follows the reality show now, she replies, “Ab kya mann lagega? Also, I have been busy and haven’t been able to watch the show.”
