You've been around in Mumbai for roughly two years. What kind of interaction have you had with people in Bollywood?

I think the people are really curious about me. When I go out, or I am at a party - most people that I've met have been really nice. Of course, they're going to be nice to my face. I don't know what's going on behind. So far, everything's been nice. I don't go out a lot. Touchwood, these last two years have been the busiest times I have had. I've never worked so much, ever.





I hope I am still working in Bollywood. A lot of people, when they get into entertainment field, whether it's in music or it's in acting, want to start planning their career. They have expectations and set different goals and how things should be. Entertainment is like a rollercoaster, it changes every second. There's another turn, there's another loop. You think you're going to go one way, you actually go the other. With that being said, I don't believe in planning. I want to be here, if it happens, great. I want to stay here as long as people want me to.

Do you have a problem being taken seriously as an actor in Mumbai?

Well, I'm only two-movies-old but I think that's something I'm going to face all the time. People expect me to be a certain way and then they meet me and find that I'm not that way. I'm not what they think that I am. Sexy, yes! It's always going to be that. I can't get rid of it, even if I tried. But how they're expecting me to be, or how they want me to act or how I'm supposed to do things, I think people definitely think I'm a certain way and I am not. I was told that a lot of male actors are scared to work with me because they have a wife or this and that. And I want to tell their wives (laughs), 'I don't want your husband. I have one. I love him. He's hot, he's sexy. He fulfils all my needs in every way, emotionally and everything. I don't want your husband.' I want to do my job and I want to go home with my husband, not yours.'





I think that will happen gradually with each movie that comes out or each article that comes out in a publication. I think what is going to happen is a shift of opinion. What I find interesting is that Naseer sir, who is a huge Bollywood actor who is so famous and respected and loved, who is so confident about himself and his family - he's got a lovely wife. I met his wife and children. I found that Naseer sir was more comfortable working with me than somebody who is younger.



Do you want to work with any particular actor?

Yeah, I want to work with everybody.

Do you see yourself working with established actors like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan?

God willing one day that might happen. But we'll see. I mean, that's just a matter of their preference. They have a completely different market. I'm a different level. Obviously, this is something that takes time.





I do have an extremely smart husband. And he does his research. And we ask around too. We have a lot of nice people around us to ask. The main thing is I should like the script.



However, are people offering you different roles in these different films? You have to agree that everybody only wants to cash in on your hot and sexy image.

Right! Well, I think that the woman in the movie should look hot and sexy otherwise why would people want to go watch it. I'm not talking about a certain type of sexy. The reason we like watching Deepika in a film is because she's beautiful. She's hot. She is sexy. Everything she wears - her dancing, her clothes, songs -- all of it is beautiful. But you don't look at that sexy as being bold. You look at that sexy as like 'Wow, she looks beautiful! She looks hot!' In a way, every movie should be like that, actors should be good-looking. That's why we like watching them.



So you are saying within sexy there are different avatars.

Yes. So one is like funny sexy. Jackpot was like serious sexy because I was playing a con artist.



And, is Ragini MMS scary sexy?

Yes. (Laughs). Yeah, it's scary sexy. I hope to give you a nightmare, just once!
