'I was really bad at hockey'

Arya Menon (Gul Igbal)

Your Chak De character: Gul is a very shy girl. She comes from a family of sportsmen and so is pressured into playing hockey. My role was edited quite a bit, but my scenes have been added to the DVD version.

Life after Chak De: I got the chance to try out different things. I used to play hockey in school but was really bad at it. I always wanted to pursue acting or direction. Now, because of Chak De, I can work towards my goal.

I did some anchoring work for CNBC -- about eight episodes -- but the work didn't suit me. I'm currently in Hyderabad, shooting for a Telugu film. It is directed by Srinivas Balla. I'm also reading three scripts in Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu

Are you in touch with SRK and rest of the hockey team? With most of the girls, yes, but not with SRK. I'm in constant touch with Chitrashi and Shilpa -- we're very close. I think the last time all of us were together was during the award functions.
