Can't do back-to-back films to prove my existence: Disha Patani

Disha Patani says she is looking for stronger roles and cannot go on a film signing spree to appear active in the public eye.
The 25-year-old actor, who made her Hindi film debut with "MS Dhoni: The Untold Story" in 2016, says she would want to be associated with "good stories" that help her register her presence.

Filmmaking
Disha speaks on choosing her films
"The story matters to me a lot. I can't do something I don't like. Just for the sake of being out there. Showing people I exist, I can't do that. It's a lot of work. Filmmaking is not easy. You've to give your 1,000 percent. You don't get to sleep, eat."
"I'm not happy to do it if I'm not happy with the story."

Patani will next be seen in "Baaghi 2"
"I look for stronger roles, for the parts that would help me leave an impact. People should like the characters I play. Maybe, that's why I find it hard to find roles," said Patani.
The actor also featured in "Kung-Fu Yoga" with Sonu Sood and international action legend Jacky Chan last year.
Patani will next be seen in "Baaghi 2", opposite Tiger Shroff.
Motivation
Patani, a second year BTech dropout
Patani, who is a second year BTech dropout, wanted to become an Air Force pilot.
She says people discouraged her when she decided to give up studies to pursue films but the only way to silence critics is to prove them wrong.
"If someone tells me, 'you can't do this', I get motivated, I feel 'I have to do this now'," she added.
