Girl,Uninterrupted

I remember laughing my guts out while watching Heyy Babyy. I’d decided that whenever I do a comedy film,it will be with Sajid Khan. Comedy is one of the toughest genres for an actor.

How was it shooting your first out-and-out comedy,Housefull?
I remember laughing my guts out while watching Heyy Babyy. I’d decided that whenever I do a comedy film,it will be with Sajid Khan. Comedy is one of the toughest genres for an actor. I was quite nervous on the first few days of the shooting. Actually,comedy is not just about making funny expressions,it’s about timing and being spontaneous. In that sense,there was very little acting. I just said my lines as naturally as possible.

Are you apprehensive that Housefull might just be remembered as the film with three girls in bikini?
I haven’t even given this a thought. Half of the film is set on the beaches of Italy,so swimwear was an integral part of the script. It’s not just a gimmick.

All three — you,Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan — must have wanted to be the hottest babe in bikini.
Well,I never worry about what others do. I focused on what was required of me and made sure that I was in shape. Aki Narula styled all three of us. Sajid and Aki chose the colours of our bikinis and we just went ahead and shot the scene.

Post your break-up,you’ve been on a signing spree. Is it a case of being back with a vengeance?
I’ve heard that one from a couple of friends. Let’s just say that’s me. I’ve taken time to find my feet in the industry. I’m becoming confident with each film. I think I’ve found myself now and feel more settled here.

How was the coffee date with Shammi Kapoor?
It’s definitely the best date I’ve ever been on. I must say,Shammi Uncle sure knows how to ask a girl out. Our boys should learn something from him. I spent three hours chatting with him over a meal. Now he has asked me out again on Twitter,which is again a good sign.

Recently Imran Khan posted a picture of you carrying him on your back. Did you really do it or was the picture morphed?
Yes,I really carried him on my back. It was during the shoot of Break Ke Baad. Come on,it’s no big deal. I’m a strong girl — mentally,physically and emotionally.
