Sweden-based Iranian actress Maryam Zakaria is all set to sizzle on-screen in an item number in Rowdy Rathore starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, after playing a supporting role in Agent Vinod.
“Today, big stars are also doing item numbers. I am an actress, not an item song dancer,” she says flatly.
It was Maryam’s childhood dream to work in Bollywood. Hindi feature films fascinated her family, as it was with many other Iranian families.
“Since the age of two, I have been watching Hindi films, and been in love with them. That’s why I came to India in 2009,” she says.
Maryam acted in Telugu films such as 100% Love and Madatha Kaaja before venturing into Bollywood. She also did an item number for Sadda Adda, but that was after she had completed shooting for Agent Vinod.
“It feels great to see my dream come true.
