Facts/Trivia

- Reportedly, she began dealing with mental health issues while she was on ‘So You Think You Can Dance,’ when she was a teenager. In an interview, while talking about his mental state and why he decided to come from the US to India, he said,
The competitive scenario in ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ brings stress, and stress hormones degrade your genes. I started taking prescription drugs and making excuses to my best friends to get out of doing things, pushing myself into isolation. If I had stayed a year or two longer there, I don’t think I would be alive today. I was up for the lead role in Step Up 4 and lost it to one of my close friends. I was so devastated that I couldn’t bring myself to congratulate him. I realized my ego got in the way and it took me five hours to get over it. As soon as I sent him a congratulatory message, I got an email from the makers of ABCD. I fell into the trap of fame and fortune, I became greedy. At the time I came to India, I was not mentally well.”
- In an interview, Lauren said that she was offered the chance to play the female lead opposite Varun Dhawan in the 2015 Hindi film ‘ABCD 2;’ however, she chose to play the supporting role of Olive, an American-Indian dancer. He said,
I was told by the director that I had been confused with my choice of role. I was told different stories by different people. I was completely sidelined, cut from promotions, and even some of my parts were edited out of the film. It was the worst six months of my life, and that included my stint as a judge on the celebrity TV dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.”
