On A Date with Sonal Chauhan : Bollywood News

Dev (D) - Which is your last date you can recall?

Sonal (S) - Honestly, I dont really go out on dates. I sometimes wonder what a date really means. This is my first date ever with a journalist and if a date means to go out with a guy and dine, my last one was just two days back.

S - You are an expert, considering youve gone out on dates with so many actresses (laughs).

D - Yeah Ok but cant you recall one date of yours for me?

S - Ok fine. There is this one date that I really remember. It was with my ex-boyfriend. We had gone to Olives in Bandra which is one of my favourite restaurants. It was just a regular dinner we were supposed to go for but it turned out to be so special. The food, the music and...

D - ...and the man, of course. What if our date was in Olives and not at the Marriott?

S - There is an advice for all guys. You should never date two different men at the same place (laughs)

D - Youre doing this film with M.F.Hussains son, Owais Hussain. You dont mind me asking you questions on films, do you?

S - I always want to be with a man who can talk about my work also. So thats nice of you. I was shooting in Bangalore when I got a call from my manager saying there is a film which is being directed by Owais Hussain. It interested me because Ive watched Hussain saabs films with Owais being a co-director in all of them and also because Santosh Sivan was the DOP. I came to Mumbai and met them and I was on.

D - Whats the film all about? Is it to do with paintings?

S - The film has nothing to do with paintings. Owais himself is a painter and his sensibilities are that of a painter. So every frame was beautiful. When he narrated me the script, it felt like he was painting on a canvas.

D - Whats the movie to do with?

S - I cannot tell you that.

D - Now thats untrue. Spit it out girl.

S - I am serious. Its too early to talk about the film which is still untitled. Its a romantic film and very interestingly romantic.
