‘ELKDTAL’ transwoman writer Gazal Dhaliwal opens up about her struggle in the industry

Debutante director Shelly Chopra Dhar is all set to treat the viewers with an unexpected romance of the year as her film ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ will be releasing tomorrow. Now, we already introduced you to the film’s amazing transwoman writer Gazal Dhaliwal. In one of her recent interviews, she opened up about her struggles in the film industry.

Gazal revealed how she has been writing scripts since the last decade, but it was only recently that her work started getting recognition. Interestingly, before ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’, Gazal has also written dialogues and screenplay for films like ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’ and ‘Qarib Qarib Singlle’.

Sharing about her struggles, Gazal told Arre.com, “I’ve been working in Bollywood and writing scripts since 2009, but it took an inordinately long time for my work to start coming out, because neither did I know anyone in the industry nor am I good at networking or marketing myself.”

She further added, “No one knew what I had done because none of the films I’d worked on had released, so Alankrita Shrivastava  sent me two sample scenes and suggested I write the dialogues for those scenes before they decided to hire me.”

We are so glad that finally, Gazal got a chance to showcase her talent and going by her previous works, we are eagerly looking forward to watching Sonam Kapoor starrer ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’.
