Kai Po Che star Sushant Singh
Rajput is ready for his next film,
Shudh Desi Romance, in which
he stars opposite newcomer
Vaani Kapoor and Parineeti
Chopra.
Talking about the film's concept,
Sushant says, "As youngsters
we crave for everything in life,
and no sooner do we achieve
them we realise that all the
challenges we were looking
forward to were merely what
our heart wanted."
Sushant adds, "My character is
already in love with Gayatri
(Vaani Kapoor), but while
pursuing my tourism profession,
I get infatuated with a beautiful
woman. I don't know whether
it's love or infatuation. What
happens next is the crux of the
film."
Talking about his real-life
girlfriend Ankita Lokhande being
dropped from a Shah Rukh Khan
film, he says, "Being offered a
role by SRK's banner is a
privilege in itself."
The actor is also quite upset
with rumours doing the rounds
that he is having an affair with
Anushka Sharma. "We are just
good friends. Belonging to the
same industry, whenever we
meet we have to greet one and
all," he explains.
Shudh Desi Romance is being
made by Yash Raj Film but
Sushant isn't ready to take on
YRF's poster boy Shah Rukh
Khan yet. "I don't think about
whether I will be a lucky charm
for Yash Raj Films like Shah Rukh
Khan. I only look forward to
working hard and making my
own identity in films. I, also feel
humbled to be working with
the YRF ."

Shilpa, uncensored

BA PASS.jpg
She may have debuted opposite Shah Rukh Khan in YRF’s Chak De — but Shilpa Shukla was part of an ensemble cast. So with her new film, B.A. Pass, it feels like the talented actress has truly “arrived” in B’town.
In B.A. Pass, Shilpa plays Sarika, a rich, married woman who teaches a younger boy “the art of sex”.
“After reading the script, I asked my mom if she would disown me if I accepted the role!” says Shilpa. “When she reacted positively, I asked my father, who told me that you succeed only if you take risks.”
Armed with her family’s approval, the actress says she derived “great joy” from enacting Sarika’s part: “I have unhesitatingly played Sarika, who portrays sex in a very real and authentic manner.”
Shilpa knew that with B.A. Pass, audiences would see her in a very different avatar indeed on screen — but she felt no inhibitions. “I felt it was my karma,” she tells us. “Portraying this bold character helped me understand the importance of performing — no matter what the character — with depth.”
In the time between her films, Shilpa hasn’t just grown as an actor —she has also grown as an individual. She’s dealt with the restlessness she initially felt by embracing Buddhism. “My inner strength has doubled… I understand life better,” she says.
Her new understanding has led her to believe that she has to make the most of what God has granted her, and channel more of herself into helping others. “What I earn from my films goes into food, shelter and education for (underprivileged) girls. I’ve understood that I can do good (deeds) through my film career,” Shilpa says.
With B.A. Pass garnering plenty of appreciation at international film festivals, this is Shilpa’s time to bask in the appreciation. She tells us, “I have no regrets about the way my career has shaped up and feel lucky to have not gone through the bedroom of any technician to get a role. My journey in this industry has been fruitful. There is no disillusionment with the glitz and the glamour.”

‘I find beauty in everyone’

He’s only two films old and yet continues to be one of the most talked-about actors in the industry. While his acting credentials have not been questioned so far, his demeanour off-screen has made people slap the “Casanova” tag on him and he is often called a “flirt”.
While he is not pleased with the tags, Ranveer refuses to change. He says, “I’m very generous with compliments and I usually blurt out whatever comes to mind at that point in time. I tend to find beauty in everyone and I don’t hold back from expressing my feelings. These things make people think I’m a ‘flirt’ and I cannot do anything about it. Every person has their identity and tagging them only puts them in a box. I definitely have a problem with such tags. It restricts my persona and causes people to ponder over irrelevant things about me.”
Not many know that Ranveer’s grandmother has worked in Soni Mahiwal and a few other films of that era. “My daadi was passionate about acting and she has been a key inspiration in my film career. I wish I was wearing my special chain right now — it’s in the shape of a chand ka tukda and was presented to me by my granny. She was primarily a homemaker and pursued films only as a hobby,” says the doting grandson. Ranveer continues, “She was the first person to buy me a VHS system and asked me to watch videos on it. She would ask me to enact scenes and try the dance steps. It was because of her encouragement that I would participate in debates, drama and elocution contests in school. I remember, as a kid we had gone to this birthday party and suddenly she pushed me to the centre and asked me to dance to the tune of Jumma Chumma.”
The actor, who is currently in the news for his much-delayed film Lootera, holds himself responsible for the delay. “I suffered a few injuries during the shoot, due to which the film had to be postponed. I had told my director Vikramaditya (Motwane) to replace me with another actor because I didn’t know when I would be able to resume,” he confesses. For someone who started off with complete commercial entertainers such as Band Baajaa Baaraat, he admits that working in an offbeat period drama like Lootera was tough. “I have grown up watching commercial cinema and that is my forte. To play an intense character in the film was difficult as I had to unlearn a lot to get into the unconventional mode,” says the actor who is now confident of changing his lover boy image on screen. “I’m actually looking forward to this new phase as it has been a long time since I had my last release Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl.
I am more anxious than nervous,” Ranveer says with a smile.

Acting not Rani’s first choice

Krishna Mukerji says that her daughter Rani had no intentions of being an actor and apparently got into the profession after much coaxing. Reminiscing about her star kid’s childhood days she says, “Rani has been a very disciplined girl right from her childhood days.
I remember she would start crying if she felt that she had not prepared for her exams. When I would say ‘don’t give the test if you are not prepared’, Rani would turn around and ask ‘what kind of a mother are you? Asking me not to give the exam?’ Finally she would go to school and excel in the tests.”
