Shes been the proverbial hidden horse, in the way she has inched her way up to the top leaving bigger stars behind. Her recent performance promoting her film Singh is king with Akshay Kumar was much appreciated at the IIFA awards function in Bangkok.
As if that werent enough shes been voted the sexiest woman in an online poll leaving both Indians and beauties round the world behind. You compliment her and she says with easy grace:
Its very sweet but these things are not to be taken seriously-its all very lighthearted and its peoples way of showing they support you.
it must make you feel good?
Yes at times when things are making you feel low it brightens up your life.
So you have brand new film coming?
Yes its also an all out entertainer - something people will enjoy.
How is Bollywood treating you?
Very well actually theres a welcoming acceptance and I am made to feel comfortable.
What do you do in your leisure?
Oh I catch up with all the new releases. I watch all the films and chill out relax nothing too serious.
Style icon at IIFA thats another feather in your cap!
[Laughs] I dont go over the top with these things. Its all in fun. You cant afford to take these things seriously.
You are considered a lucky mascot for producers?
Again its their magnanimity. The films Ive been in have succeeded well so Ive become lucky. I enjoy it thats all.
