"I am back in Bollywood and I want to do films that I like" - Shenaz Treasuryvala : Bollywood News

We meet at Bascilico in Bandra over Shenazs favourite musk melon juice. Its been a year when we last met at the same place, same seat and the same Shenaz: fuller figure, fuller lips, the stretched smile that often turns into mad laughter with a hint of hippieness. I have a confession to make - Yes, she was my crush during the college days. In the beginning I didnt understand the Shenaz Treasuryvala phenomenon and like many who swore that theyd only have a girlfriend like her and never did, call me old fashioned but I dont mind re-living my crush days. Shenaz, you listening? Here, the one-time wild child talks candidly about her unlikely emergence in Bollywood, her fondness for writing more screenplays, her love for the West and her dream to be the Tina Fey of India.

Finally, you took the aage se right turn. All good? (Laughs) I did take a wrong turn with Aagey Se Right but by doing Delhi Belly I think I managed to take the right turn again (laughs). After Delhi Belly, I went to America and got this show called One Life to Live . But now that the show is over, I am back in Bollywood. I want to do films that I like. I know people have this misconception that Ive settled in the U.S. but that is not true. Having said that, my phone wasnt working. I had it off in the States (laughs). My producer Pooja Gujral (Main Aur Mr Riight) tracked me down somehow and got me to India. I wasnt bothered but I have learnt a lesson now - My phone will be on (laughs). I dont want to give up my movie career here and at the same time Id love to do shows in America too.

Besides acting, youve shown your penchant for writing too. I love writing stories. For me, its all about screenplays. I did write Luv Ka The End for Y Films. Even this film that I am doing - Main Aur Mr Riight directed by Adeeb Rais, I am doing it because my character is written so well, the script overall is amazing and its a great comic drama. Its a fun, fresh comedy and I identify with my character Alya.
