Tillotama Shome got a great start in her acting career as she debuted with Mira Nair’s 2001 film Monsoon Wedding. The film was a hit at film festivals and also grabbed a Golden Globe award nomination. Like Monsoon Wedding, Tillotama’s most films have been independent productions which were not released in theatres. This affected the popularity of the actress as many didn’t recognise her for the longest time in her career. However, with the rise of OTT actors like Tillotama have gotten a new lease of life.
In a recent interview with Radio Nasha, the actress opened up about the experience of not getting the access to award shows even after getting a nomination as the staff at the entry gate didn’t recognize her. She said, “Earlier, when I used to go to award shows, I wouldn’t get an entry even when I was nominated. I had to tell them that I am an actor and I have received a nomination. The organisers had to come from inside to allow my entry because I was not recognised by the people at the entry gate. After entering the show, I used to question myself, “Why have I come here?’ I didn’t know anybody, I didn’t have any friends who would talk to me or ask me about my work or my health. I used to feel invisible. I used to have a sense of discomfort and felt like not going to award functions. I decided that I will go when they call me with respect.”
Tillotama is seen in the recently released The Night Manager Season 2. The show also stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Anil Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala in lead roles. She is also a part of much-talked-about Lust Stories 2, which premiered on Netflix.
