Laapataa Ladies’ Nitanshi Goel aka Phool reveals mom left her government job, dad quit business because she 'wanted to be an actor'
Laapataa Ladies actress Nitanshi Goel has revealed that her parents left their settled career to move to Mumbai and help her pursue acting. She called their love selfless and true.
Kiran Rao’s latest directorial, Laapataa Ladies feels like home even if we watch it a zillion times. While the movie has given a spike to the careers of all the actors starring in it, Nitanshi Goel is enjoying special fame. It surely came as a shocker to several people who got to know that their ‘Phool Kumari’ is just 16 years old. In a recent interview, the actress revealed how her parents sacrificed a lot to help her pursue acting.
Nitanshi Goel on her parents’ selfless love for her and her passion
The actress, in conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, was asked if, after being such a star, she was able to do typical teenage things, including having a crush. Nitanshi didn’t hesitate and quickly responded by saying that the love of her parents is more than anything for her and shared what major mountains they shook just to support her.
Nitanshi feels that no one can love herself more selflessly than one’s parents, and she confessed that her father and mother left their respective lives just to make her career. She detailed, “I just wanted to act and be on TV, and with just that little thought, my father left his business in Noida and he’s here doing a job. My mom left her government job and she’s here for me. All of this was just because I wanted to be an actor.”
Calling it true love, Nitanshi said one shouldn’t settle for less than what she has and also that she doesn’t have any crush for now. Aren’t the boys giving her more attention? Goel reacted to this by saying, “Oh Sajni Re toh bohot chal raha hai!”. For the uninitiated, O Sajni is an Arijit Singh-sung song from Nitanshi’s film, which is trending big time.

She added, “They’re calling me cute names, Phool Kumari, Sajni; they also make National Crush video edits. This is flattering; I love it! I’m enjoying it; it’s cute!”
Laapataa Ladies which started streaming on Netflix a month ago, has been running in theatres for over 100 days now and its promising occupancy is convincing enough for theatre owners to not pull it down. The slice-of-life movie also stars Ravi Kishan, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, and Chhaya Kadam in key roles.

Nitanshi admitted that she felt surreal when the teachers were proud of her after watching the movie. She is currently in standard 12th with commerce as her stream and will be taking her board exams in 2025.
