"I think I look good with most guys"

After a looong wait, Socha Na Tha finally reaches theatres. You must be pretty excited…
For sure! Socha Na Tha was the first time that I faced the camera, the first time I shot for a film. So it's close to me in a million ways. And this Friday, I can't wait for the audience reactions.
How does it feel to be the new 'it' girl?
Hey, am I the new 'it' girl? That's flattering. All the people I have met have been positive to my work. That is very encouraging and makes me proud. Besides, I did not achieve this tag overnight. I have been working at it from the age of 16. And however clich?it may sound, Bollywood has been kind to me.

In hindsight, do you think Taarzan was an ideal debut?
If you look back at life, there are many things that you do like to change. But that's not the way things work, right? How you make best of what is given is more my style. So I do like to believe that Taarzan was a great career start. And it has given me the position that I currently enjoy. And I thank Abbas-Mustan for having believed in me.
Does your cherubic, girl next-door face have an upside in the current skin mela?
I am not aware of the skin wave…
Not aware? Girls are stripping right, left and center. There are semi-porn flicks hitting theatres every Friday…
Well, see I like everything about me. I wouldn't like to change that for the world. And I am very happy with the kind of work that my face has brought me. So no complaints.

"Aditi like me is a wild kid"
|
How did you land the role in Socha Na Tha?
My director Imtiaz picked up an Audi tape from Filmistan studios. He had auditioned over 1000 girls for the character of Aditi and the moment I walked into the room, he was like, 'You are my Aditi'.
What does it promise people?
Socha Na Tha is beautiful, fresh and real. It promises a light-hearted experience.
What kind of a girl is Aditi?
Aditi is a wild kid. She has a mind of her own and makes no bones about speaking it. But there is a certain reason that doesn't let her be herself. She is forced to behave, act and be another person that is not her. This little twist in her character is what makes Aditi special.

How is Abhay Deol to work with?
Abhay was good to work with.
Director Imtiaz Ali…
He's been a good experience too. His theatre background came of great use as we used to go through extreme detailing. He was a taskmaster and that helped me perform better.
Dharmendra, Sunny, Abhay. Three people with two- left feet. Now pick me your dance partner?
(Laughs) Now that is mean! I would like to dance with all three!
Vatsal, Shahid & Abhay, how do you like working with newcomers?
Its great! Since I am starting out too, there is so much that we share in common by way of growing up. Besides, there is a raw excitement and enthusiasm that is difficult to find in a seasoned actor.
