Vaani Kapoor recently hit the headlines with her work in the film Bell Bottom along with Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi and Lara Dutt. And now the actress has spoken about her struggles and how she faced difficult times as a newcomer in this industry, and how she actually made things work single-handedly.

In an interview with ETimes, she said, “For sure. I have been supporting myself, I haven’t taken a penny from my parents from the age of 18-19 and I have been supporting myself, I was modelling, making my own money. This was also very new territory for me, I was very clueless, I was very underconfident, I didn’t know what I am doing, I didn’t know how to go about it. But there is a certain vision one has for themselves, I had that vision and I stuck by my beliefs.”, as quoted by ZEE News.

She added, “So, I never really tried to short sell myself, that’s one thing I was very certain about from day one. There has been a financial crunch and all, I am not very privileged where I come from an extremely affluent family. My family has gone through ups and downs as well, and I am proud that I have been able to make things work for myself, single-handedly.”
