"My name is Laxman Singh-Swali and I am 25 years old. I have been fully pursuing acting for over a year now and in that time I have had various roles. I have been in commercials, music videos, been a supporting artist and I’m currently par-taking in intensive acting classes on a weekly basis. These classes are purely focused on acting for screen as that is my main passion. I’m currently looking to gain as much experience as I can, to hone the skills that I have learnt. That is why I saw “Worthless Woman” as an ideal opportunity for me.

​

The first time that I read the script I was shocked. As I never realised practises such as female foeticide still went on. When I conducted further research myself on the topic, I was horrified and also disappointed that such an important and serious topic is not given the attention that it needs.

I knew I had to prepare for the role to the best of my ability to give this film the credibility it deserves. As I was playing the role of Sukhi who wanted to carry out such a horrific act, I needed to really get myself into a nasty and selfish frame of mind. Hopefully, I have done this and this film is given the exposure that it needs.

​

The script in itself and the directing on this piece have both been fantastic and without these two components, it would not have been as powerful as it is."
