No to Hot Scenes

The bubbly girl is little tensed for her Hindi and says, “Though, I can read and write Hindi but as I come from a Christian background, I am not used to speaking the language, so delivering dialogues is a little difficult but I think I will overcome it.”Is there any plan her saying good bye to Tollywood? She emphasizes that she has not yet decided and she had no plans as such. Let us all wait and watch what is next in line. Though the film industries are different, her job as an actor remains the same. It is cinema that matters most to her, not the industries.

People often term her lucky for her films. But she is of a different opinion and shares, “I don’t think I am plain lucky. I have acted in lots of films in South which speak of my abilities. Over the years, I’ve grown up as an actor. It’s an achievement especially for someone like me who does not have a family background in Bollywood. I think I was chosen for these films simply because I fitted the bill.”

And now Genelia will once again play the same role but this time in the Hindi remake of the film. “Its My Life is a romantic story but it also focuses on human values and love amongst family members. Portraying the bond between parents and the children in an urban setting, the film is about the tensions that grip every family and how over possessive parents can spoil the lives of their children”, says Genelia.

The reason of having only few friends in Bollywood industry is that she is new here in Mumbai - only few films old. Her take on that is, “But yes, while working in all the flicks that I have done so far, I shared a wonderful rapport with all my colleagues. And I feel that the entire cast and crew of ‘Jaane Tu…’ are my good friends and we had a blast together.”

Genelia is looking for the roles that are challenging as. “I do not wish to do roles for the sake of doing films. I am looking out for some really different and interesting script,” says thinking actress. Like others she is also impressed with Khans and their acting prowess and says, “I am interested in working with all of them as long as a project excites me and yes, of course I wanted to work with Salman, SRK and other talented actors.”

What Future Stores For Her
Genelia has just entered the 22nd year of her life and according to numerologists this age will most likely to bring her a lot of stress, depression and loneliness at least till the year-end. She should take every decision with a lot of thinking. Wearing a ‘Pearl’ will definitely help her keep cool, calm and composed. But the year 2009 is again very lucky for her best and from here onwards things will start working for her – both professionally and personally. Especially the time after August 2009 is simply excellent with no stopping.
