As fresh as the soap she endorsed and as perky-looking as the Perk she modelled for. She�s hails from the north but presently has made aamchi Mumbai her home. Her debut film �Dil Se� has hit the big screen already while her next releases are Soldier with Bobby Deol, Kya Yehi Pyar Hai with Chandrachur Singh and an untitled Telugu film with Venkatesh. She�s also been pencilled in to work in Shekhar Kapur�s Tara Rum Pum Pum. Wanna know more about her? Here she is talking about herself. I�ve always been a people�s person. Perhaps that�s why before gravitating towards films, I graduated in psychology. Now I interact daily with so many individuals of different temperaments. It�s fascinating to watch their strengths and weaknesses. Actually, I flipped a coin to decide whether I should ever think about acting. I had toodled along with some friends to the Taj Mahal Hotel for the audition of Shekhar Kapur�s Tara Rum Pum Pum. Shekhar asked me to react to the camera. Boy! was I intimidated, I didn�t know what had hit me. I mumbled incoherently. But somehow I was okay as soon as the camera was switched on. I was in a world of my own. God knows when Shekhar Kapur will make Tara Rum Pum Pum. Now I believe, he�s on to his next film on Nelson Mandela. But I live on hope. So far, the highs have been Mani Ratnam�s Dil Se, Kundan Shah�s Kya Yehi Pyar Hai, Abbas-Mustaan�s Soldier, Raj Kanwar�s Farz and an untitled Telugu film with Venkatesh. The lows have been the unnecessary controversies and link-ups. I mean one paper wrote that I was having an affair with Ajay Jadeja, if you please. Then I was linked with Chandrachur Singh. It�s crazy. I know Ajay and Rocky ever since I can remember. They are like my buddies. Recently someone asked me if I�m seeing the trainer of the Indian cricket team. I mean, Andy�s a friend. He�ll probably die of embarrassment if he ever finds out that he�s been linked with me. Okay, I admit I talk too much. I talk out of turn. I let my tongue run away with my mouth. So most people tend to misunderstand me. Bobby Deol, who�s like family, pulls me up whenever he sees me shooting my mouth off. Quite a few magazinewallahs ask me if I�m wild. What does that mean? Why can�t they just let me be? If I�m having a cool time at a movie hall or a pub, dancing to music or watching soccer, what�s their problem? I have loads of energy, I have a positive attitude. I will not change my life just because women in the industry are expected to behave in a certain manner. My weakness is that I�m a scatterbrain. Also I hate waking up early in the morning. And I think my worst trait is my temper. When I�m angry, instead of words I use my fists. I was offered this big film with this actor who has a reputation of being obnoxious. I immediately conveyed my apprehensions to the director. I will not pander to anyone�s ego. I�m here to act, not suck up to heroes. No one messes with me. Maybe my overbearing attitude intimidates men. Perhaps that�s why I don�t have a boyfriend yet. Relationships are too complicated, man. They�re too demanding. To act, you must know pain. You must know what it means to be in love, what it means to be rejected. Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean we have to be larger than life. Worse, I�ve seen actors acting off the sets too. You know what�s the worst part about being an actress? It�s the pressure to look gorgeous all the time and to behave perfectly. But I�m not perfect, nobody is. - courtesy of Filmfare MOVIE LISTING Dil Se - Shahrukh, Manisha Korala, Preity Zinta Soldier - Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta Kya Kahena - Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega - Salman Khan, Rani Mukherjee Chori Chori Chupke Chupke - Salman Khan Rani Mukherjee |
