Young and astonishing beauty gained a lot of fame since her childhood due to the popular soap opera ‘Balika Vadhu’. Her cute looks and performance was loved by many. A few years later, she turned into a heroine with ‘Uyyala Jampala’. It became a super hit and she went on to act in other hit films like ‘Cinema Choopistha Mawa’, ‘Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada’ and others. But her career failed to take off in Telugu because of flops like ‘Lakshmi Raave Maa Intiki’, ‘Thanu Nenu’, ‘Raju Gaari Gadhu’ and others.
Her recent ventures turned out to be unsuccessful too. With offers drying up in the South, it looks like Avika Gor is doing what every heroine tries to do i.e. aiming to get attention through some sensational statements. She recently claimed that the South film industry is all about nepotism.
Speaking to RJ Siddharth Kanan, she said, “When it comes to star power, the South is all about star power. And when it comes to nepotism, the word that we are all tired of hearing… the South is all about nepotism. The things are just the same… it’s just that the audiences are not choosing to see it there the way they are seeing it here. A bias has been created for Hindi films, Bollywood films, where we judge whatever they make… this bias has developed over time. As someone who is part of the industry, we also understand that there was a phase where many South films were remade, so people thought we only copy films.”
She further added, “In the Telugu industry, nepotism is very evident. I mean, how are people choosing not to see it? I think it has been hyped a lot… and with time, I hope that social media will relax, and this issue will also relax.” Avika is all set to make her Bollywood debut as a heroine with ‘1920 Horrors Of the Heart’ which is releasing on 23rd June.
