Her characters in Bollywood are not as varied as her outings in South but actress Kajal Aggarwal says she chooses her roles carefully in the Hindi film industry. The 30-year-old Singham star, who made her acting debut as a cameo in Aishwarya Rai-starrer Kyun! Ho Gaya Na, said strong script is the utmost criteria in taking up a project.

“I am extremely happy that people have accepeted me down South. I am doing good work there. But at the same time, I am not doing Bollywood just for the heck of it. Until and unless I don’t get good script and role, I don’t give my nod to a project in Bollywood,” said Kajal.

Kajal made her full-fledged foray in 2007 films with Telugu release Lakshmi Kalyanam. In the same year, she starred in the box office hit Chandamama, which earned her critical acclaim.
