umama-3

UMAMA Ahmed is the latest glittering addition to the Bollywood. It takes people whole life to even start their journey in this unforgiving industry. The so called “sapno ka shehar Mumbai” tests you, breaks you and most of the time forces you to stop dreaming. It needs a lot of courage, patience and perseverance to survive in this industry. This might seem a juggernaut task, but Umama has made it possible with aplomb, that too within a year.

This Nagpur based girl came to Mumbai this March to fulfill her dreams. Within September, she signed her first movie tentatively titled “Murder Mystry” with the famous lyricist and producer Faaiz Anwar. The film is a suspense thriller where Umama is playing a prominent author-backed role. The shooting commences from November end and talk of she doing another project with Anwar is on.
This shows the potential of this talented girl who says “Dance has been my passion since childhood. Watching Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi dance had a deep impact in my life. It was like magic. I used to imitate them. Then I started learning the craft. The next step was always acting for me. I have always been a dramebaaz. Now I have stepped into the industry, I will try my level best to entertain the audience.”

Recently Umama participated in a beauty pageant Mrs Maharashtra. This mega event was conceptualized by Karl & Anjana Mascarenhas of DIVA PAGEANTS which was executed by Jazzmatazz. She was in top 6 and also awarded with the title of “Mrs Iconic Eyes”. The audience and judges were spellbound when she danced in the talent round. Her performance was mesmerizing. Though she is from Nagpur, she auditioned from Mumbai. I think Mumbai has started loving her and she is also giving it back to the city. Earlier, she had also won “Mrs Vidarbha” in 2011.

For all the success and achievements she has got, she gives full credit to RONKEL MERI. She says “I was lucky enough to find RONKEL MERI in my first visit to Mumbai itself. A lot of thanks to its Director and my mentor Sanjeev Sharma for guiding me in honing my skills as well as helping me in shaping my personality. I am very grateful to him for showing faith in my talent and giving me ample opportunities to showcase my talent. Those really boost my confidence. Thanks to Shaunak Srivastav, acting coach from Ronkel, I have achieved this much in such a shorter span of time. He always pushed me to go beyond my abilities and showed me my real potential. I also thank to Karl N Anjana Mascarenhas for giving me the chance to participate in this beauty contest. ”

This is not all. She is also involved in a mission called “Swachchh Bollywood, Skilled Bollywood.” to eradicate the broker system in the industry where talents should reach the right place without being cheated.

Following Mrs Maharashtra beauty pageant, she is now eyeing for another beauty contest called “Mrs India”. She has already been approached by different casting agencies and production houses for which she is yet to take a call. The starting step itself is making everyone look forward to this special talent. It’s just the first step for her and by the look of it, it is no doubt that a true star is in making.
