Rising against all odds: Prernaa Arora
Prernaa Arora
Of late, Bollywood has been steering away from conventional movie plots to emotionally stimulating stories that offer good food for thought. Among the many game-changers who have brought about this trend is the young and aspiring producer Prernaa Arora. Hailing from the scenic city of Dehradun, Prernaa’s creative instincts have been ingrained in her from the beginning. Debuting as a Film Producer with the Akshay Kumar and Ileana D’Cruz starrer Rustom, Prernaa announced herself in the industry with a bang, raking in profits and praises for the film’s tremendous success.
Later, with Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, she helped break the orthodox chains that have fettered women for ages, and continuing her success streak with Akshay Kumar, she presented Pad Man, another barrier breaker that had a nationwide impact on the audiences. Over a mid-afternoon chat, Prernaa candidly spoke about herself, and her views on the significance of Women’s Day that just passed by.
Despite the streak of success in Bollywood, Prernaa, unfortunately, had to go through her share of strifes. But, the determined woman that she is, she refused to let these struggles waver her spirit, and rose above them all in a very dignified manner. She chooses not to dwell on the past and elaborate on those issues anymore. “At the start, every day, instead of being able to pick up the pieces and move on, I had to go through a long period of mental harassment because of some spiteful people,” she said.
