Amrit Kaur advocates for natural beauty in acting

Amrit Kaur, known for her role in "The Sex Lives of College Girls," shared her experience with negative feedback early in her acting career. She recalled a well-known Canadian agent who told her she would never get a leading role unless she had facial surgery. This agent said her nose would prevent her from succeeding on television. At that time, Amrit struggled with her self-esteem and felt insecure about her appearance. The industry lacked representation for South Asians, which made her doubt herself even more. She thought the agent's critique was valid and felt pressure to change her look. Amrit faced similar comments from other agents and teachers about her appearance. However, everything changed when she met a mentor who encouraged her to embrace her natural beauty. This teacher told her that changing her nose would not be beneficial, as her unique look could tell important stories. Inspired by this support, Amrit shifted her perspective. She has continued her training with the mentor and found success in her career. Kaur has gained recognition in both Hollywood and Canada, winning a Canadian Screen Award for her role in "The Queen of My Dreams." Amrit's journey highlights the importance of self-acceptance and representation in the entertainment industry. She is a proud advocate for embracing diversity on screen.
