Actress Nikesha Patel, who lived in Chennai and has done several films in the south, has relocated to London!The actress, who has been cutting down her work in films in the south over the last one year, has begun pursuing a career in the British film and television industry.“Believe me; it was a very tough decision to make,” says the Namaste Madam star. “But I felt why not? It’s now or never,” She adds that she was part of a few British television shows in her formative years. “I bought a flat and have been staying in Central London for the last few months. I have collaborated with an international agency Gilbert and Payne. Moreover, London is my hometown, so I eventually have to shift base here,” she explains, adding that she would also collaborate with an agency in LA as she feels there’s a lot to explore there, work-wise.The actress regretted that she hadn’t been able to establish herself in the way she would have liked to, though it has been decade since she entered showbiz. Apparently, the actress was disheartened with the kind of films she was offered in south India.“I have worked in more than 25 films in the South, I got bored. Also, I work hard and then the film is criticised. So, I need a breath of fresh air, Nikesha said, adding that she had come to India from London to work in Hindi.“I wanted to work with a star and a top filmmaker in Hindi, but it did not happen. Although Bollywood appreciates the work of the South, they don’t value it. So you have to start from scratch,” the Araku Road Lo star reveals.
