She is surely not a girl next door. Rather, she has maintained an oomph image on the silver screen. Glamorous Kim
Sharma feels that her career was not a steady flow of hits, but she still is happy about the way its going. Her
forthcoming comic flick Tom Dick and Harry is ready for release. IndiaFM gets a peek about the film
and her career.
Bijlee is a loud character
I am playing a fisher woman called Bijlee. It's an interesting character. She is one of the mad characters of the movie.
She abuses everyone, talks in Marathi and fights with everybody around her. She is very funny and a completely
loud character. She is slightly naïve and at the same time she is very smart. Dino is her love interest. But it was easy
because everybody was acting mad. You just have to act as mad as them. You're the only odd one out when everyone
is acting normal.
Language was not a barrier
I know how to speak Marathi. I am very fluent in that language. I just have to incorporate in more colloquial level,
in terms of how they speak locally. I speak Marathi with my servants and I have picked it up over the years now.
Now everyone speaks Marathi in Bombay because it's a language since school.

I am big fan of spontaneity

No identification with character
I don't identify with the role. For this role I was a little nervous, which I am not usually. I was quite blasé about going
onset. I am big fan of spontaneity. But for this I thought I would figure it out before I go on set or my performance
would be thanda. I would not be able to give what Deepak wants. I don't identify with being a fisherwoman. It's a
loud character.There are no subtle aspects to such a performance and that attracted me. She is loud, she will shout at
you. She will throw a fish on you.
Hired a machchiwali
Deepak told me to visit the fish market everyday just to have an idea about my character. He said you better go to the
fish market everyday and I agreed but didn't visit any. The day before the shooting I got scared so I called a
machchiwali, who comes to sell fish. I gave her a hundred bucks. She showed me her basket and how she cut
fish. Next day when I went on the set and gave first shot, it was a one take ok. Deepak loved it. He said that he had told
me it's going to work since I had actually spent time with fisherwomen.
Work does not have a very steady flow for me
After my first film, the work has not had steady flow for me. It's not been as good as it should have been considering
where I started from. So I don't want think of these things now. I wanted to work with people whom I like. I want to do
films that I believe in. Where I was and where I am today does not matter to me. I believe in myself. If I start thinking
about such things then it will affect my work. Life is too short and acting is only a job.

Deepak as a director
I had a wonderful time with him. He is very sweet person and I got along with him well. He really used to pamper me on
the set. He gave me a lot of scope. He is a fabulous director. I am really fond of him.
Celina and me
Unfortunately we did not meet on the set. I mean I did not have any work with her so there is no question of rapport.
There was no question of a cat fight between us. There were no problems from my side. I am an extremely upfront
person. If I have a problem with someone, I have to speak about it. I'm not aware of any controversy. Off late, I have
not been in any controversy.
Controversy about Ladies Tailor
I don't know that Subhash Ghai's niece was promised the same role. I know there was lot of controversy regarding the
casting. Only thing I know is that I am doing this film because of this character. It's a simple character, something that I
haven't played yet. It's a deglamourized role, which people don't give me. Because the director is new and willing to
experiment I bagged it. Replacing anyone is not in actor's hands, it's a director's individual decision. I didn't like to step
into anybody's shoe or take work away from anybody. I would not like anybody to replace me in the film that I am keen
on doing. So in that respect I really empathize with the person concerned. But I am just happy that I got this character
because I really wanted to do something very simple and deglamorised.

I have grown, which I think is a big thing!

I am surely not a next door girl
I may be glamorous in real life. Definitely I am fond of clothes and style and I do follow all that. I am not exactly a girl
next door but the point of being an actress is portraying a various array of roles. So if I keep doing the same thing, at
some point it will get boring . It's not really to prove to somebody or show anyone but it's for my own interest. It's an
experience for me. I would like to do deglamorised roles if they are different.
I have grown as an actor
I have grown as an actor, as a professional and also as a human being. It's not only mentally but yes in all terms. It's
been five years in the industry now. I have grown in age. That includes a sense maturity and experience of five years of
working in this industry. I think I am more serious about my work now than I was then. I am more committed towards it. I
have grown, which I think is a big thing!
I am happy with the way my career is going
I didn't come with any expectations I have come from a non film background. I had never wanted to join films and today
I have five journalists sitting on the table, talking to me about myself. So for me that's great. I know I am capable. The
frustration is there when you know you are not capable. You don't know what to do. I am very happy with the way my
career is going. I have always been happy even when I didn't have work. Today I have work and I am happy. If
tomorrow I have lots of work I'll be happier.
Forthcoming films…
I have film called Kudiyon Ka hai Zamana with Rekha and Mahima directed by Amar Bhutala. It's a chic film but
not about women's rights or anything. It's about women and what they go through. The film is about women and their
mind set. My character is quite dumb. She is naïve and she believes in love. I tried to give a softness to the character.
Then there is The Whisperers, in which I play a pop singer for the first time. The film is about Rahul and Manoj.
The reason to accept it was that I wanted to do an English film. My role is quite interesting. She is a star and they have
tried to give the whole feel. Nehle Pe Dehla is waiting for release. The film has a good star cast of Saif, Sanjay,
Bipasha and me. There is Ladies Tailor with Rajpal Yadav. I have got a cameo in Tanuja Chandra's film called
Rocking.
