Nisha Nair (Soimoi Kerketa)
Your Chak De character: My character is from Jharkhand. She is an educated girl, who doesn't speak English, so there is this big communication gap. Her response to everything is 'Ho?' meaning 'what?'
Life after Chak De: I got to do a lot of cool things but honestly, life hasn't changed much. I played hockey before the film; I'm still playing. I have played for Maharashtra, Western and Eastern Railway. In fact, my team came third at the Senior National Hockey Tournament at Jalandhar this February.
I'm going to play hockey as long as I can. Academics is my second priority. I've yet to decide what I want to do after I graduate from college.
Fans have always reacted positively when they see me. I wanted to raise awareness about hockey, and I'm glad to say that has happened, especially at the grass root level.
Are you in touch with SRK and rest of the hockey team? Yes, I'm in touch with most of them. We met during the award functions.
