Have
you
seen
Dhoom
and
what
did
you
think
of
the
film?
I
generally
do
not
watch
any
film
more
than
once,
but
Dhoom
was
a
film
that
I
saw
4
times
in
a
span
of
15
days,
so
it
says
a
lot
about
the
film.
I
thought
it's
a
kind
of
film
which
is
an
entertainer;
it's
about
stunts,
style,
good
looking
people,
good
songs
etc.
Its
like
the
Fast
and
the
Furious,
it's
a
fun
flick
so
I
loved
it
totally.
Tell
us
a
little
about
your
character
in
the
film.
To
be
a
part
of
a
film
like
Dhoom,
firstly
its
great
and
the
timing
was
fantastic
for
me
because
I
was
getting
fit.
I
guess
Adi
chose
me
because
of
the
physicality
of
the
character.
Shonali
is
a
cop,
so
she
had
to
look
like
a
cop.
So
that
was
pretty
much
easier
because
I
had
become
very
fit
by
then
and
I
am
a
tall
girl.
She
is
the
kind
of
person
who
hangs
around
with
boys
and
hence
the
toughness
of
the
cop
had
to
come
through.
The
styling
was
done
to
that
extent
and
definitely
whatever
stunts
a
cop
can
have,
I
do
have
that.
You
have
a
very
different
look
in
the
film.
Please
tell
us
more
about
it
and
do
you
relate
to
it?
Absolutely
I
relate
to
it,
they
created
a
cop
so
she
could
not
have
many
frills
and
fancies
when
she's
at
work
though
she's
a
woman
and
an
attractive
woman.
She
wears
a
lot
of
denim,
racer
back
vests
which
are
basically
not
too
coloured.
They
are
black,
white
and
military
colour,
cargoes
and
sometimes
she
throws
in
a
jacket
when
she
is
with
seniors
or
doing
a
presentation.
So
that
was
her
basic
look
and
her
hair,
though
she
was
not
like
a
typical
Indian
cop,
the
hair
not
tied
up.
Being
in
plain
clothes,
I
coloured
my
hair
black
for
this
particular
role
and
a
different
kind
of
cut
was
given,
a
side
parting
with
a
severe
sharp
cut.
It's
not
too
long
and
not
too
short,
its
like
a
mid
length
so
definitely
we
worked
on
the
looks.
Even
the
makeup
was
very
minimal.
Being
a
cop
it
had
to
be
very
basic,
yet
very
glamorous,
because
Dhoom
is
a
film
which
talks
about
styling
and
good
looking
people.
So
it's
not
that
because
we
are
making
a
real
film,
we
have
no
makeup
on.
It
is
less
makeup,
yet
glamorous.
Are
you
more
at
ease
with
action
adventure
films
like
Dhoom
2
as
opposed
to
typical
Hindi
film
naach
gaana?
I
think
I
have
reached
that
stage
of
life
where
I
want
to
do
everything.
I
have
forced
myself
to
get
comfortable
with
Bollywood
Naach
Gaana
because
I
earlier
couldn't
identify
myself
doing
that.
But
today,
I
do
understand
that
the
essence
of
Bollywood
is
naach
gaana
and
yet
with
time,
we
are
changing
as
we
are
trying
to
do
different
kinds
of
things.
Yes,
Dhoom
2features
there.
I
am
a
very
adventurous
person
and
very
athletic
so
definitely
this
kind
of
film
is
more
fun,
it's
not
like
a
job.
Bollywood
naach
gaana
for
me
is
a
job.
It
is
difficult
for
me
to
do
but
something
like
Dhoom,
I
am
in
sync
with
it
because
the
kind
of
clothes
that
I
wear
in
the
film
are
very
much
me
and
the
kind
of
styling
I
have.
Since
I
have
been
a
model
before,
I
am
very
comfortable
and
can
adapt
to
any
kind
of
styling.
I
let
my
stylists
do
what
they
want.
That
was
very
comfortable
for
Anaita
as
she
was
very
happy
to
style
me
because
I
did
not
have
many
questions.
Bipasha
BasuWhat
according
to
you
is
Dhoom
2
about
and
what
can
the
audience
look
forward
to?
It
is
a
youthful
film,
it's
an
action
comedy
and
I
think
worldwide
people
like
action
comedies.
It
has
great
stunts,
great
looking
people,
good
styling,
great
bodies,
good
music,
beautiful
locations,
first
time
locations
like
Rio
and
South
Africa.
I
think
Dhoom
2
is
a
package
entertainer,
you
can't
really
go
wrong
with
a
film
like
that,
and
it
definitely
is
not
a
thought
provoking
film.
You
will
want
to
be
a
little
healthier
after
looking
at
the
people
in
the
film,
a
little
more
stylish
and
anybody
who's
young,
who
thinks
young
will
like
Dhoom
2.
You
don't
have
to
be
in
the
age
group
of
14.
Anybody
who
is
young
at
heart
will
like
Dhoom
2.
You
are
playing
a
Bengali
in
the
film,
does
that
make
you
feel
more
at
ease
and
let
you
be
yourself?
This
is
the
second
time
I
am
playing
a
Bengali,
but
in
my
last
film
Corporate
I
didn't
speak
any
Bengali.
But
Dhoom
2gives
me
a
chance
to
speak
in
my
mother
tongue
for
the
first
time.
I've
never
done
a
regional
film
yet,
so
this
is
the
first
time
on
camera
that
I
will
be
speaking
Bengali
and
it
was
really
funny
to
dub
in
Bengali
lines
-
it
seems
odd
because
I
speak
this
language
at
home.
It
was
fun,
also
the
surname
is
Bose
and
my
grandfather
used
to
call
himself
KN
Bose,
but
my
father
and
uncle
took
Basu
as
a
surname,
so
it's
the
same
thing
-
Bose
and
Basu
is
closer
to
home
I
guess.
So
much
of
attention
has
gone
to
Ash
and
her
looks.
Do
you
feel
ignored?
No,
I
think
the
attention
is
very
adequate
and
right,
because
Ash
has
never
experimented
with
her
looks
in
this
drastic
a
manner.
She
is
always
seen
as
this
Indian
girl
wearing
Indian
clothes
and
she
always
excels
through
that
in
her
'Indian
ness'.
So
for
the
first
time
you
see
her
in
short
skirts
and
bikini
tops
and
a
tanned
look,
I
would
say
wow!
It's
a
required
change
and
it's
a
very
positive
thing.
She
is
really
looking
hot,
so
why
not.
For
me
I
have
worn
western
clothes
and
I
am
the
western
girl
according
to
the
people
always.
The
look
is
different
for
me,
but
not
so
visually
different.
I
have
not
been
wearing
sarees
in
all
my
films;
I
have
been
the
western
girl,
so
that's
why
she's
more
talked
about.
Anyone
who
talks
about
D2
or
anybody
who
is
talked
about
in
the
film
is
great.
You
have
worked
with
Abhishek
before,
what
was
different
this
time?
And
what
was
it
like
working
with
two
of
the
hottest
sex
symbols
of
Bollywood?
He
has
just
got
madder
with
every
single
day.
He's
a
mad
boy.
Definitely
the
energy
in
Dhoom
2,
for
me,
will
be
a
memorable
experience
because
of
the
friendship
I
share
with
Abhishek
and
Uday.
I
got
to
know
Hrithik
and
Ash
there.
The
kind
of
friendship
that
I
have
with
Abhishek
and
Uday
is
too
cute.
I
would
look
forward
to
coming
to
Dhoom
2
sets
as
it
was
too
much
fun.
Sexy...I don't look at these boys as sexy, but yes, they are definitely hugely in demand. Hrithik I would really like to talk about.... he has been extremely popular, huge in all the films that he's done and you can't take his success away from him, but as for me I think Hrithik excels in D2. For one, he's not so perfect as he has a little unkempt look, not all the time wearing buttoned up clothes. It works on him as he's a good-looking boy with a great body. So that loosening up that has happened with Dhoom 2 is what I find sexy in Hrithik. Otherwise I find Hrithik too perfect and I like a little imperfection in my man. For me Abhishek is really cool, because he's not so perfect, does not dance perfectly, walk perfectly, does not have the perfect body but he's extremely charming and suave for me. I think Hrithik has definitely got the coolness in D2. Dhoom 2 is going to provide him with that 'easy sexy tag'. Till now he was sexy in the conventional way, the youthful, laid back sexy look is coming into Hrithik now.
This
is
the
first
time
that
you
have
worked
with
Hrithik
and
Ash.
What
was
it
like?
They
are
fantastic
people.
Hrithik
when
you
look
at
him
he
seems
a
very
serious
person
but
he
is
a
comedian,
a
joker
on
the
sets.
He's
also
a
lot
of
fun,
lot
of
energy,
not
as
hysterical
as
Abhishek
but
a
still
a
lot
of
fun.
Ash,
the
image
that
she
projects,
one
would
think
you
can't
reach
out
to
her,
and
she
is
the
kind
of
person
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
talk
to,
but
its
not
like
that.
She
gives
out
a
different
image
like
somebody
who
is
unapproachable,
but
she's
very
approachable,
she
would
sit
in
the
group
amidst
us,
not
only
the
actors,
but
the
entire
unit.
So
we
were
always
a
team,
we
would
go
out
together,
work
out
together,
sight
see
together,
so
it
was
a
group
thing
and
she's
an
easy
person,
not
unapproachable
at
all.
That
myth
has
gone
after
working
with
her.
Bipasha
BasuWhat
do
you
think
of
the
Dhoom
2music
as
compared
to
Dhoom?
You
have
lent
your
voice
for
the
first
time
for
the
song
'My
name
is
Ali',
what
was
it
like?
Dhoom
original
soundtrack
was
definitely
fantastic.
It
was
a
rage
that
picked
up.
Our
music
is
very
good
but
I
always
feel
that
the
audience
has
to
identify
with
the
picturisation.
I
think
track
'Dhoom
Again'
is
fantastic,
the
kind
of
music
that
has
been
put,
the
original
song
has
been
adapted
very
nicely
in
a
completely
different
manner.
Also
my
favourite
song
on
the
track
is
'Touch
Me'
-
too
cute.
I
like
to
define
people
as
sexy
cute.
It
shouldn't
be
just
sexy
or
cute,
then
it
would
be
boring,
sexy
cute
is
fun.
This
song
is
sexy
cute
and
I
love
it.
I
have
only
said
words
for
the
song
'My
Name
is
Ali'
its
not
singing,
a
long
way
to
go
for
that.
Too
husky
a
voice.
What
was
the
best
moment
for
you
while
shooting
the
film?
The
whole
Rio
experience.
I
think
the
place
was
so
lovely.
I
am
a
person
who
can
easily
fit
into
Rio,
not
only
because
of
the
way
I
look
but
also
because
of
my
laid
back
nature
like
the
people
in
Rio.
So,
I
would
make
friends
on
the
road
and
look
like
a
local
and
make
local
friends.
Though
everyone
had
bodyguards,
I
used
to
go
without
the
bodyguard,
as
I
don't
like
people
cramping
my
space
and
checking
on
what
I
am
doing
in
my
time
off,
away
from
the
world.
So
I
used
to
go
sometimes
without
the
bodyguard
and
have
fun.
I
used
to
look
around,
go
for
walks
on
the
beach,
used
to
have
my
own
private
moments
in
Rio
and
those
were
really
good
and
the
one
thing
I
would
like
to
say
about
Rio
which
is
a
cute
thing
is
that
from
the
age
of
10
to
80
people
work
out
everyday.
In
my
gym
there
used
to
be
20
old
women,
old
means
old
with
wrinkled
skin
but
yet
they
were
so
fit.
They
used
to
have
these
dance
exercise
classes
in
our
hotel
and
I
used
to
have
such
a
good
time
with
them.
They
were
all
my
buddies
in
the
gym,
it
was
really
cute.
The
people
are
not
body
conscious,
everyone
is
not
fit
but
people
are
wearing
tiny
bits
of
clothing
but
nobody
is
looking
at
them.
Do
you
think
D2
can
outdo
the
success
of
Dhoom?
I
don't
like
to
ever
judge
a
film
before
its
release.
You
can't.
And
I
can
only
hope
because
it's
my
film,
it
definitely
has
a
lot
of
visual
delight.
D2
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
fun
to
watch
I
just
hope
people
like
it.
You
can't
outdo
your
own
branding.
What
was
it
like
shooting
in
South
Africa?
Do
you
have
a
message
for
the
people
there?
Fantastic
people,
they
are
the
most
friendly
and
sweetest
people
I
have
ever
met.
It's
not
only
my
Dhoom
experience
it's
also
my
past
experience.
I've
shot
in
South
Africa
many
times
before
and
they
are
really
genuinely
nice
people.
It
is
a
beautiful
country,
it's
got
various
landscapes
and
it's
very
well
endowed
with
all
kinds
of
things,
so
I
enjoy
my
trips
to
South
Africa
and
this
time
is
going
to
be
memorable
for
ever
because
I
did
my
bikini
shot
in
Durban.
I
cannot
ever
forget
that!
Shooting
in
a
bikini
is
not
easy.
It
not
about
being
conscious,
it's
about
the
fitness
level
you
have
to
reach.
And
3
days
of
eating
oranges,
working
out
thrice
a
day,
going
paranoid,
'am
I
fat'.
I
did
not
want
to
look
very
oomphy
as
I
wanted
to
look
athletic.
I
do
not
know
what
the
final
result
is,
as
to
how
I
look,
but
for
me
I
wanted
to
be
a
Cameron
Diaz,
I
did
not
want
to
be
a
Pamela
Andersen.
Girls
whenever
have
shot
in
a
bikini
are
basically
rolling
on
the
beach
or
some
such
thing,
but
I
think
I
will
give
due
credit
to
my
director
and
the
team
who
have
shot
me
in
the
bikini.
I
think
its
athletic
and
very
youthful,
and
looks
like
I
am
comfortable
wearing
it,
not
'oh
wow!'
Its
not
a
cheesy
shot,
I
can
just
proudly
claim
that.
So
I
can
forget
South
Africa.
It's
difficult
working
out
so
many
times
a
day
and
not
eating
when
everyone's
gorging
on
food.
