After making her Bollywood debut in the 2011 film \u201cDelhi Belly\u201d, she felt underestimated and limited. Reflecting on her opportunities in India, she stated, \u201cThere was just no role for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with PTI, Poorna revealed that despite Delhi Belly\u2019s success, she struggled to secure more roles in the Hindi film industry. She admitted feeling underestimated after working in \u201cYeh Jawaani Hai Deewani\u201d, saying, \u201cThere was just no role for me.\u201d The actress explained that ageism deeply affected the industry at the time, making it difficult for her to land significant roles.<\/p>\n<p>When Poorna entered Bollywood at 40 with a child, filmmakers struggled to cast her in suitable roles. She explained that unlike today, when actresses like Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are redefining what it means to be a woman in her forties, such opportunities were scarce during her time. Despite her desire to work more, she received few offers. Additionally, she faced a language barrier, as her Hindi was not fluent.<\/p>\n<p>Poorna reflected on the industry\u2019s transformation over time, noting that the rise of streaming platforms has led to more diverse stories and roles. She observed that actresses of all ages now have greater opportunities to be heard. \u201cThe streaming culture has impacted who gets to tell stories now,\u201d she said, emphasizing how the industry has evolved to offer more roles for women in their forties\u2014unlike during her time in Bollywood.<\/p>\n<p>While Bollywood offered Poorna limited opportunities, she thrived in Hollywood. She received critical acclaim for her role in \u201cThe Night Of\u201d and later appeared in several hit shows, including \u201cThe Blacklist\u201d, \u201cBetter Call Saul\u201d, \u201cRamy\u201d, and \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Poorna is currently working on \u201cDeli Boys\u201d, a dark comedy series about two brothers who inherit their father\u2019s illegal empire. She noted that the show\u2019s comedic tone resembles \u201cDelhi Belly\u201d and aligns with her comedic style.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/FotoJet-2025-01-15T103911.376-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s wholesome dad and daughter moments with Raha go viral\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s wholesome dad and daughter moments with Raha go viral<\/h5>\n<p>Ranbir Kapoor enjoyed a heartwarming game night with Raha.
