Bhumika Chawla wants to
essay roles that are unconventional. V.
Ananth talks to her about her forthcoming films
She
looks as fresh as she did when she breezed in with her maiden venture Tere
Naam opposite Salman Khan two years ago. Since then three more
films starring Bhumika Chawla have been released—Run, Dil Jise
Apna Kahe and Silsilay. On the eve of the release of her
fourth film Dil Jo Bhi Kahe, Bhumika Chawla confesses that she
wants to essay roles, which are different from the rut. "I play
the role of a doctor, Gayatri Pandey, based in Mauritius, in Dil Jo
Bhi Kahe. Gayatri is a simple and intelligent girl who believes in
positive thinking. I could identify with the role since it was
narrated very well, with an emphasis on human emotions," says
Bhumika. "The subject was written in a realistic way and yet it
is a part of what is referred to as commercial cinema. The film
offered me an opportunity to work with Amitabh Bachchan." Bhumika
confesses that she had not seen the French serial C’est La Vie on
which Dil Jo Bhi Kahe is based. On her being hailed as yet
another Bhagyashree or the girl next door, she says, "Every man
wants to take home a girl who is nice and simple. It is basic human
nature and you just cannot change it. A man may flirt with a sexy babe
but when it comes to having a life partner, he will go in for a simple
girl." Among the films in which she is acting at present are
Feroz Khan’s Mahatma Versus Gandhi. In this film, she has
been cast opposite Akshaye Khanna. In Rajkumar Santoshi’s Family,
she has been teamed with Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. In Anees
Bazmee’s Benaam, she is co-acting with Ajay Devgan and
Sameera Reddy. She is also working in a Telugu film Jai Chiranjeeva
opposite Chiranjeevi. — MF |
