Not many people get a chance to prove themselves in Bollywood; even fewer get a second chance. But Aackruti Nagpal is among the lucky few who belong to the latter category.

When she was new in the industry, Aackruti was supposed to do a film opposite Shah Rukh Khan as Kajol&rsquo;s sister &mdash; this was a plum role in Baazigar that was later essayed by Shilpa Shetty. According to a source close to her, she was approached when she was shooting for Dev Anand&rsquo;s film, Gangster (1994) at Mehboob Studio.
&ldquo;The secretary who conveyed the message to her manipulated her words and confused her. He advised Aackruti to stay away from a &lsquo;behan ka role&rsquo; (the role of a sister) in order to avoid stereotyping. As a result, director Abbas Mastan and producer Ratan Jain had to look elsewhere.&rdquo;
Later on, Aackruti bagged a role in the SRK-starrer Guddu (1995) but that didn&rsquo;t amount to much. The then 18-year-old little girl is now making a comeback in the film, Holiday, where she plays Akshay Kumar&rsquo;s sister. &ldquo;I have only compliments and praises for Akshay.
He&rsquo;s a fabulous human being and it is fun to work with him. Sonakshi Sinha is a kind person and I enjoyed working with her as well. I learned a lot from them,&rdquo; says Aackruti.

Despite turning down plum roles in the past, Aackruti Nagpal has been fortunate enough to bag a good role in the film, 'Holiday'
