As she came striding down the steps of my friends well furnished and well decorated apartment, I imagined her to be a very different kind of girl, and as she drew nearer, I could see the huge red sun setting down in the sea beyond me and when she came and sat down close to me both the sea and the red sun had vanished from my sight and settled down in her beautiful eyes and in those eyes I saw a thousand stories about the past and the present which were exciting and the stories of the future which were waiting to explode and set the world on fire - Ali Peter John
I had made a promise to myself not to look into the eyes of women because they had betrayed me and deceived me countless times, but these two eyes made me drawn in them because I just wanted to know more about this young woman who was the empress of her eyes.
My unique ability of making people, especially women open up and come up with their stories without keeping anything back went into action again and Roselyn opened up like the petals of a full blown rose and at the end of two hours and after the sea had gone to sleep and I was wide I had one more exciting story in my kitty of stories that could not only keep me going, but also inspire women (and even men) to face every challenge that comes their way with all the fortitude, without any fear and with patience.
Rojelin was born in a village in far away Orissa and was always considered a misfit in the kind of society she was brought up in and she was also known as a girl who didn't conform with the rules and ethics of society.
She was insulted, humiliated, made to stand out of classes and made to feel inferior in kind of way by her own family, her teachers and what is known as "Samaj".
She took the cruel life as long as she could and when she realised that she had a nature that would not allow her to compromise with the rules and ethics of her people around her, she just took a train to Mumbai, the city of a million dreams.
And if Rojelin felt that life was to be a bed of roses in mumbai, she was mistaken when she woke up to the grim realities of life, but there was some spark within her which requested her not to give under any circumstances and not to run away to her village in Orissa under any circumstances.
It was this spark that kept her going and doing odd jobs like taking up a job with a call centre in a suburb far away from the helter skelter life of the city and life continued till she felt the urge to fly and came back to the main city.
She landed outside the acting school of Kishore Namit Kapoor and "KNK" as the acting guru was known as recognised her zeal to prove herself and offered to help her realise her goal and soon one thing lead to another and Rojelin became Roselyn and Rojelin harinan was Roselyn D'Souza and she was well on her way to success.
She found work as a model, she was a known face for advertising films, print ads and other ways of making her a known face and she found more recognition when she did some good music albums like "ye ashiqiyan" with a known and talented face like Rishabh Tandon.
She has just completed a web film called "Rooh-the mystry" and will be seen in some more web films in the near future.
And like every other ambitious girl, she too is waiting for the day when all that she stands for is seen in big feature film on a big screen with big stars, with big directors and with big producers.
And she is sure that with her kind of passing and perseverance her dream will come true one day...and soon.
Roselyn has not forgotten her roots in Orissa. She would still like to go back to Orissa and work among the people, but she is still not sure whether she would like to serve her people through joining a political party or becoming a political worker, but she would love to do anything to bring about an awakening among the youth of Orissa who she says are lying in different corners with all their talent and youth and with no one to encourage them or lead them towards their goals in which lies the future of Orissa.
And when she has fulfilled her ambitions in Hindustan, she would like to fly with her dream to some exotic places in the world where she would work very hard to give her state and her country a bright name.
That Spark within her keeps telling her that she would fulfill this dream too. And when a 24 year old girl has such soaring ambitions and dreams, I think both God and man would like to see her succeed because in her success would also lie their success and glory.
MUJHE OTT PAR BOLD FILMS KI OFFERS HUI HAI AUR MAIN KARUNGI , LEKIN ....
Like all other new and talented actresses , i too have been offered roles in films made for thd OTT platforms and i have even done a couple of them and have received appreciation for my work in them .
I know the future is going to be the OTT platform and i am other actresses like me cannot run away from this reality. I am therefore open to challenging roles even if they are bold roles, provided they are justified and applicable to the stories and the scripts.
It will be unrealistic if i don't move with the time because i cannot belong to the times we are living in today and pretend to be a part of another era. I belive that in moving with the times is the key to success.
