Interview Excerpts:
What lured you to say yes to the offer to act in 'Kyon...! Ho Gaya Na?'?
The main reason why I agreed to work in Sameer Kulkarni's 'Kyon...! Ho Gaya Na?' is that I was keen on taking up a project, which is light hearted, breezy entertainer. As an actor, one tends to listen to ten different good scripts but it is not humanly possible to accept each and every one. I thought it would be a challenge for me to do three different roles and hence I accepted 'Choker Bali' in which I had to work in a Bengali milieu, 'Bride And Prejudice', which had an International milieu and hence a new experience for me and 'Kyon...! Ho Gaya Na?', which offered me a big relief after doing intense and serious roles like in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', 'Devdas' and 'Choker Bali'.
How was the experience of doing a negative role in 'Khakee'?
Working in 'Khakee', in a negative role, was an eye opener for me. I learnt something new after doing the role, which was different from the parameter of what a typical Bollywood heroine gets to do.
To what extent did you come to terms with playing a comedic role in 'Kyon...! Ho Gaya Na?'?
It felt like it did the first time I did the negative role in 'Khakee'. It was the first time, perhaps in my career that I have done a comedy like 'Kyon...! Ho Gaya Na?'. I feel that it is difficult for an actor to do comedy because you have to be creative, since it is very difficult to evoke a smile.
