She believes Raja Bhaiya, her comedy film with Govinda, is her ticket to what she expects from Bollywood.
She tells Vijay Singh why this film will bring her fame:
How did Raja Bhaiya happen?
Maan Singh Deep [the producer] liked some of my photos with Nakul Kapoor [Tumse Achha Kaun Hai] that appeared in a magazine.
Director Raman Kumar called and told me the story over the phone. I liked it. It is a challenging role, a performance-oriented one. That is why I found it exciting.
What is your role in the film?
The film is a comedy, but there is a lot of depth in my character. I had to act the part of a mentally challenged girl at one point in the film. I worked hard on my body language, expressions, etc.
You will also find that my character has two shades. Beyond this, I can't say more about my role.
How was it working with Govinda, who is well-known for his comic timing?

You where injured recently, weren't you? How are you now?
I'm okay now. The accident happened during the shooting of a Telugu film in Austria. Sriram and I were in the middle of a lake. I slipped and fell. Sriram fell on top of me.
I nearly froze there for 45 minutes. My back hurt. I was crying. But there were no fractures.
What other films are you working on?
I am working on Miss You for Ajay Chandlok, opposite Sohail Khan. I am also doing a Telugu film opposite Sriram.
You were not seen after Awara Pagal Deewana. Why?
You have worked as a model and you've worked in television serials, music videos and films. Which gives you the most satisfaction?
I have worked in around 200 commercials apart from a few music videos [her most recent video was with Adnan Sami for Tera Chehra].
But films are perfect for me. I enjoy them. I have wanted to be an actress ever since I was a child. They offer you so much variation in characters, such a variety of emotions... There is so much scope for creativity. Films give me the most satisfaction.
