Have you heard of Pearl Verma? Nope? I thought not. The student-turned-reluctant actress has decided that being a clever clogs was more important than having a bit role in a film with Shah Rukh Khan. As sport-themed movies are becoming more acceptable in Bollywood, Shah Rukh is starring in Chak De India (Chuck it away India? Someone help!), a movie centered around an all-girls hockey team.
Pearl rejected a role in the film to write her grade 12 exams and became a top achiever with a 94% average. WOW! And the girl is kind of pretty too, looks a bit like Juhi Chawla. It’s quite rare to find a girl who’s pretty and clever…gotcha! You thought I would go on about how pretty and clever I am, but I won’t! I’m humble!
