PERSONAL
QUOTES
"When I was a
teenager, I was so much in love with
Salman Khan that
I had his posters all over my room. I used to write to my sister in New
York that I had a crush on an actor who has just debuted in a film
called Maine Pyar Kiya. In fact, I don''t regret doing my first film
with the Khan camp. I loved working with them."
"The
shooting of my next film with Buddhadev Dasgupta will start very soon
and I am honoured that Dada has again considered me for his next film"
"I derive job
satisfaction from doing Bangla
movies."
"Post-Darna
Mana Hai, I was offered similar kinds of roles which were stereotyped.
But I didn’t bite the bait. Now, I want to experiment with
different
roles, so that critics can call me a complete actor."
"I change my
phone every month depending on the
features."
"I love car
racing and action-packed ones. After a
long
day, playing games on my Playstation energises me a lot"
"Sushama
has her own film career going and Meghna is in Greece. We never discuss
work when we meet. But they’re very supportive and protective
about me.
As for my parents, they are proud of our achievements and always
encourage us,"
"I live each
day as it comes
and every day I set new goals. Acting is very stimulating and I believe
that if you’re happy with the work you’re doing,
it’s an overwhelming
feeling."
"I don't want
to be just a commercial success, and
get
stuck doing certain kind of roles. I am looking for more."
"They love me.
I can vary my look -- from being
very
Indian to very sexy. It's all about balancing the two"
"Basically
I am very shy. But being a kathak dancer, I am trained to be convincing
in adaas -- that's why I can play any role with great conviction."
"I've never
done films for the sake of doing them
and
that's what keeps me fresh and exclusive. You won't see me everywhere,"
"I
hated putting on lipstick and my sisters were like two glam dolls.
Today, I am obsessed with make-up and I am a shopaholic. So my sisters
say they've created a monster! I must have every product or outfit that
I see in a magazine."
"If a kissing
scene if it had to be done again,
with
someone from Hollywood, It will have to be Mel Gibson"
"I
am like the baby of the house. My sisters really pamper me and are very
protective about me. We never discuss work at home. Sushma and I are at
different levels. We choose different roles. So I don't see us acting
together in future."
"Sameera
doesn't quite
agree with Sunny's reclusive image. "I don't think Sunny is shy and
reclusive. He is one of the cutest co-stars I've ever had. He used to
crack jokes at 5.00 a.m. when we all were drained out."
"It's
an honour to be associated with someone like Buddhadev Dasgupta. His
sense of vision is just so amazing and he's got the best out of me. I
gave up my Diwali and worked extremely hard. I'm glad my sincerity paid
off. I went to Kolkata, learnt Bengali and actually saw how the women
draped cotton saris there,"
"In Naksha I
play a TV presenter, a city bred girl who lands up in a jungle with two
guys. I had to get physically fit for this character. I learnt horse
riding, river rafting and sword fighting."
