Star tantrum at its peak Chandigarh, July 15 After inaugurating the department store she gave mediapersons a slip only to be told that an interview session would be held in Hotel Shivalikview afterwards. Later she refused to meet the press on the pretext that she was too tired to talk. Mediapersons got a chance to talk to her only after her two friends — Swati Loomba, an executive producer of tele serials, and Rohit Verma, a fashion designer — coaxed her into giving an interview and that too after trying for about one hour. Suman, who started her career in films with ‘Fareb’, managed to shine through a negative role in “Aa Ab Laut Chalen” and more recently “Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam” where she played the role of Sharukh Khan’s sister. But what took her to the zenith of glamour was “Jao chahe Dilli, Mumbai, Agra—-”, a song from film “Kurukshetra.” About her role in “Hum Tumahare—-”, Suman said her role was drastically cut short during the finalisation period. “When we watched the original Tamil version, the subject matter appealed to me, but it took a different shape when it was completed after four years,” she added. Suman, who is married to model-turned-actor turned businessman Gautam Kapoor, is presently paying more attention to her married life. These day she is busy taking classes in cooking, computer graphics and playing piano. Looking forward to act in more meaningful positive roles, Suman said she had been recently offered a couple of roles of her choice. “Who is directing a film is not important. It is the subject matter that is more important,” she said. She said her glamourous image went against her. “Glamour is important, but in my case it did not help me as I was typecast,” she said. She would like to do some off-beat roles, but till that time she was happy playing wife’s role in the real life. Marrying Gautam was the best decision I had taken since a long time ,” she said. They had known each other for about eight years before they decided to tie the nuptial knot. “We were friends and doing a lot of shows and suddenly Cupid struck and we got married, she said. |
