Four years ago, Geetanjali Thapa was slated to make her Bollywood debut in Amit Saxena’s 'Tina Ki Chaabi' with Ranvir Shorey as her co-star. The film did not see the light of day while Geetanjali went on to do some modelling assignments (she appeared in a hair product commercial with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and pursuing her celluloid dream. She landed parts in films that mostly did the festival rounds. One of her projects, 'Liar’s Dice', fetched her the National Award for Best Actress earlier this year. The film is now India’s official entry to the Oscars in the Best Foreign Film category. Though she is in the spotlight, Geetanjali remains unfazed and prefers to take things “as they come one at a time.”
