Stars in her eyes
A girl from a small town, with a passion for acting, hoodwinks her parents into believing that she is moving out to pursue a course in a big town. She lands there without any clue and struggles hard for almost 15 years before she finally makes it. This can pass as a good plot for Subhash Ghai's movie, only he would have to give actor Tisca Chopra due credit for it! For this is her story…she lived it and today she can talk about it without any regrets. Tisca is one of the judges for the Big Fame Star, the auditions for which kickstarts in January 2013. Dressed in black with a neck pieces thrown lavishly around her neck, the Taare Zameen Par actress speaks Punjabi as and when required.

Career wise
My fees have almost doubled. And I don’t mean to say this in a vulgar kind of way. In a country where everything is so uncertain, my career is the best investment I have made. I must be careful with my diet, because it is related to my career. Acting can give you a lot more than what share-market and telecom business can. This hundred per cent jump in showbiz is absent even in realty business.
