Elora received a Best Actress award from RTV in 2012 | CourtesyWhere did your journey as an actor start?

I did not get into acting accidentally.

I would say I was born an artiste. During my school days, we used to have an annual cultural program that was held at the Shilpakala Academy. I would observe the performances, but felt I could do them better.

There was a particular role of an ugly duckling, that specially interested me, and I basically memorized the moves. 

I had a teacher - Alam Sir, to whom I showed my own moves in that role. My teacher fought with others to get me a spot in the list of performers for one function.

I thank him for that. So, during that performance Shaker bhai saw me, which lead to my debut as a film actor.

I acted in the iconic film "Surja Dighal Bari," and received a national award in 1979. The film was released in '79 but the shooting began in '77-'78
