She made her debut with Sanjay Gadhvi’s Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai. The movie was a moderate success and it took Manish Jha’s off-beat Matrubhoomi to help Tulip Joshi cement her place in the industry.
“Matrubhoomi got me acclaim. It made people acknowledge that I am an actor,” says Tulip. The film has also led to Tulip bagging powerful roles, including that of a suicide bomber in Pooja Bhatt’s forthcoming movie, Dhokha. The actor emphasises that Dhokha is an important film in her career.
“I have a fantastic role in the film, which is eye-catching and something that has not been shown before on the Hindi screen,” she says.
“I was born on September 11, which is the day that the World Trade Centre bombing took place. Pooja was taken aback when she learnt about this, especially because I play a suicide bomber in the film,” says the actor.
Tulip plays a Kashmiri girl married to a policeman played by debutant Muzammil Ibrahim. Portraying her character wasn’t easy and Tulip had to prepare hard for the film.
