As ‘Paap’ marked its 20th anniversary on January 30, Udita Goswami, who played a pivotal role in the film, shared some interesting insights about her journey in the industry and the significant switch from acting to DJing.
In a candid conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Udita Goswami revealed that she contemplated returning to modelling after her acting stint, questioning why she entered the field when she wasn't enjoying it. However, due to the perception of going backward in her career, she hesitated to make the move. Despite these thoughts, she acknowledged the lucrative nature of her modelling career, earning substantial amounts for one-day shoots.
Recalling her experience with "Paap," Udita expressed surprise at the payment disparity between modelling and acting. The compensation offered for the film was equivalent to what she earned for 3–4 days of modelling work. This realisation led her to question the value actors received for their time. Although the payment for ‘Paap’ was more than what many newcomers received at the time, Udita started reconsidering her career path.
Directed by Pooja Bhatt, ‘Paap’ is a 2003 crime thriller featuring John Abraham, Udita Goswami, Gulshan Grover, and Mohan Agashe.
