1. You have been keeping a relatively low profile, why is that?

I’ve been focusing on cinema with substance…something different from the usual.

2. How are you selecting your films?

Last year has been a big change for me personally and this year will now see a big change in my career.”. This year’s been a change with “Kalpurush” which is the Bengali film which has won the National award, Mira Nair’s intense film on Aids and the upcoming comedy film “123”. There is only so long you can be called a “Siren” – which I don’t want to be all my life!

3. What attracted you to Race?

Just that the character was so cute yet intelligent and it was a high profile project to be a part of.

4. Tell us about the character you play in Race?

My character is the “bimbo” type assistant to the police inspector played by Anil Kapoor. She’s a very wacky personality who wares a lot of matching clothes, fruity earings, acts dumb and asks a lot of stupid questions. She’s actually quite smart and gets what she wants!

5. Can you talk a little about the music?

The music is quite strong in the film and works for the film as its also very fast and punchy.

6. Do you have a favourite memory from the shoot?

It was just a fun and relaxed shoot…Abaas Mastan are such chilled out people so in tune with other.

7. How do the three leading men compare to each other?

Saif is a fun/masti & laid back kind of person, Akshaye is more intense, moody but very very intelligent type of person. Anil I know from Musafir so it was fun working with him again.

8. Who do you think Race will appeal to?

Race is just so fast paced and all the characters are going for some objective towards the end of the film. It’s a thriller with a good does of entertainment and comedy so it should appeal to all alike. Its essentially a thriller so people who like this genre should definitely see it.

9. There are some great stunts in the film, did you want to get involve with them?

Yes infact I’ve done a few stunts but obviously with my character it was a little more limited that the guys. Its that sort of a film so you have to get involved and do as much as possible on screen to make it look real.

10. Have you ever been a race in real life?

I fortunately don’t drive so much… I cant handle the streets of Mumbai so try avoid getting into races

11. What other films can we look forward to seeing you in?

I’ve just finished work in another film called 123 and have a few other projects lined up.

12. Can you give a message to your fans in the UK?

Hope you enjoy me in RACE and 123…
