Minissha Lamba on <i>Honeymoon Travels...</i>
Meet the charming Minissha Lamba, whose innocent smile has had the crowds swooning! Only four films down in Bollywood, but there is no looking back for this Delhi babe. In an exclusive interview with IndiaFM, Minissha talks about her Parsi role in Reema Kagti's comic journey Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd and continues to talk on her upcoming films.
How
did
Honeymoon
Travels...
happen?
I
got
a
call
from
Zoya
Akhtar
one
day,
and
she
told
me
that
she
had
a
film
that
she
wanted
me
to
listen
to
the
script.
When
I
went
to
her
office,
I
saw
Reema
(Kagti).
She
introduced
herself
and
told
me
about
the
film.
I
thought
the
concept
was
quite
interesting,
so
I
decided
to
take
it
up.
Tell
us
the
story
of
Aspi
and
Zara.
In
a
nutshell,
the
story
of
Aspi
and
Zara
is
that
they
are
a
Parsi
couple,
and
they
have
known
each
other
for
the
longest
time
possible.
They
are
childhood
sweethearts
who
are
married,
and
now
they
are
on
their
honeymoon.
What
is
the
twist
in
their
story,
what
exactly
is
their
track
all
about,
for
that
you
will
have
to
watch
the
film.
The
promos
show
a
funny
cat-n-dog
scene
between
you
and
Abhay.
Tell
us
about
it.
That
scene
just
depicts
the
quirkiness
of
these
two
characters
Aspi
and
Zara.
They
are
so
madly
in
love
with
each
other
and
there
are
cute
little
funny
moments
between
these
characters.
It
is
said
that
yours
is
the
perfect
couple
in
the
film...
Yes
Do
you
think
a
"perfect
couple" can
exist
in
real
life?
Watch
the
film,
and
we
have
a
twist
for
you
in
the
film.
So
you
can
think
and
decide
whether
a
perfect
couple
can
exist
or
not.
Did
you
do
anything
special
for
your
look
in
the
film?
All
the
stars
had
to
sit
down
with
the
makeup
and
hair
team.
Every
look
for
the
film
was
designed
by
the
costume,
hair
and
makeup
department
of
the
film.
We
had
such
a
good
team
with
us
that
we
just
had
to
sit
back,
relax,
and
let
them
do
their
job.
The
theme
is
actually
quirky
characters
that
are
a
part
of
a
crazy
ensemble.
I
was
made
to
wear
a
Parsi
necklace.
Our
dressing
was
very
colour
co-ordinated.
Our
clothing
would
match
the
kind
of
canvas
we
represented.
My
hairstyle
was
also
done
in
a
particular
way.
In
keeping
with
my
character,
my
hair
was
shorter
for
this
film.
So
the
dressing,
their
style,
and
the
way
they
hold
their
sling
bag
across
were
very
much
like
a
modern-day
young
Parsi
couple.
Whose
is
the
best
track
in
the
film?
My
favourite
track
is
Kay
Kay
and
Raima's
track.
I
think
it
is
hilariously
lovely.
Then
of
course
I
love
my
track
as
well
because
we
have
put
in
a
lot
of
hard
work
into
it,
especially
as
far
as
the
rehearsals
for
the
dance
are
concerned
during
the
tango.
Boman
and
Shabana's
track
is
a
very
unique
story.
Are
all
the
tracks
interconnected
somewhere?
We
all
are
together
on
a
honeymoon
in
one
bus.
I
would
use
a
very
wonderful
term
to
describe
the
characters
of
the
film
-
quirky.
The
tracks
are
interconnected
in
the
sense
that
everyone
is
living
out
their
stories
in
front
of
the
others.
The
tracks
are
not
isolated
and
contained
to
every
couple.
When
six
couples
are
together,
the
stories
are
bound
to
intertwine
and
involve
other
characters
as
well.
And
that
is
the
beauty
of
the
script.
Tell
us
about
the
music
of
the
film.
I
love
the
music.
I
think
the
music
is
perfect
for
the
film.
It
is
foot-tapping,
and
goes
very
well
with
the
visualizations
of
the
movie.
It
is
young,
it
is
fun
and
it
is
romantic,
and
it
is
comedic.
Which
is
your
favourite
song
from
the
film?
Pyaar
Ki
Ek
Kahani
Suno,
which
has
been
picturized
on
me
and
Abhay.
That
is
the
song
I
have
heard
the
most.
I
ended
up
hearing
the
other
songs
only
after
the
film
was
done.
Reema
Kagti
is
a
female
director
in
this
male
dominated
industry.
How
was
it
to
work
with
her?
It
was
great
working
with
her.
I
see
no
difference
as
far
as
working
with
her
or
any
male
director
is
concerned.
She
knew
exactly
what
she
wanted.
She
was
so
focused
about
her
work!
With
me,
there
is
always
a
male-female
divide
at
workplace.
With
Reema
around,
I
didn't
feel
so.
She
is
a
director
I
could
sit
with;
I
could
hug
whenever
I
wanted.
I
could
talk
to
her
about
anything
under
the
sun.
She
was
our
buddy,
yet
when
she
was
directing
us,
she
was
the
one
who
knew
everything.
Her
word
was
the
final
verdict
in
every
case.
We
trusted
her
completely.
She
was
just
amazing
on
the
sets
to
work
with.
How
was
it
working
with
other
couples
in
the
film?
It
was
an
amazing
experience.
I
have
worked
with
Kay
Kay
before
in
the
film
Corporate.
Raima
has
become
my
friend
after
this
movie.
I
keep
in
touch
with
her,
we
hang
out
together,
go
for
movies,
partying
and
holidays.
Everyone
has
been
great.
Through
this
film
I
got
a
chance
to
work
with
senior
actors
like
Shabanaji
and
Bomanji.
The
first
time
I
saw
them
I
was
scared.
But
they
opened
their
arms
so
wide
and
treated
us
like
their
children.
It
was
easy
for
us
to
warm
up
to
each
other
because
they
were
so
open
and
loving
to
everyone
on
the
sets.
It
seems
like
you
had
a
lot
of
fun
on
the
sets...
Yes
we
did.
All
that
fun
you
see
on
screen
is
real.
It
is
not
us
acting
at
all.
That
is
why
I
am
saying
that
this
is
the
easiest
film
I
have
shot
till
now.
Reportedly
Abhay
had
a
huge
crush
on
you
and
was
keen
for
director
Reema
Kagti
to
include
a
kissing
scene.
Is
it
true?
I
don't
want
to
comment
on
this.
All
I
can
say
is
that
Abhay
is
a
great
guy
and
yes,
we
did
get
along
well.
So
finally
is
there
a
kiss
scene
between
you
and
Abhay
considering
all
other
couples
have
one?
No,
we
don't
have
any
kissing
scene.
In
this
film
honeymooners
have
gone
to
Goa.
What
would
be
your
ideal
honeymoon
destination?
My
ideal
honeymoon
destination
would
be
Venice.
That
is
one
of
the
most
romantic
cities
in
the
world...
Yes,
I
hope
it
would
be,
but
I
would
know
that
for
sure
only
when
I
go
there.
So
can
we
expect
your
honeymoon
anytime
soon?
No.
But
maybe
I
will
change
my
mind...
Tell
us
about
your
role
in
Anant
Mahadevan's
Anamika.
Anamika
is
a
romantic
thriller.
I
play
the
role
of
a
young
woman
who
has
got
married
into
a
household,
and
suddenly
she
has
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
unexpected
pressures.
She
ends
up
dealing
with
a
ghost
from
the
past
-
someone
who
asks
her
who
she
is
and
what
is
her
role
in
her
husband's
life.
This
role
seems
to
be
very
different
from
what
you
are
doing
in
Honeymoon
Travels...
so
how
easy
or
difficult
has
it
been?
It
is
different,
yes,
but
I
won't
put
a
meter
of
easy
or
difficult
on
any
role
I
play.
A
lot
of
team
work
also
goes
into
it,
with
your
director
helping
you
get
there.
It
is
also
about
you
wanting
to
do
something
different.
In
none
of
my
films
have
I
played
a
character
that
is
identical
to
the
other.
Yahaan,
Corporate,
Anthony
Kaun
Hai
-
all
of
these
films
demanded
me
to
play
different
sort
of
characters.
In
Honeymoon
Travels...
also
I
am
getting
a
chance
to
play
someone
who
has
transformed
from
a
young
girl
to
a
married
woman,
who
realises
that
there
are
some
things
which
she
doesn't
know
how
to
deal
with
at
all.
Tell
us
about
your
special
appearance
in
a
song
from
the
film
Hey
Baby.
Sajid
(Khan)
just
called
me
one
day
and
told
me
he
is
doing
this
song
with
a
lot
of
female
stars,
and
he
would
like
me
to
be
a
part
of
it.
Sajid
is
a
really
sweet
guy,
and
when
he
told
me
the
concept,
I
went
ahead
with
it.
What
kind
of
roles
do
you
aspire
to
do
in
future?
I
would
love
to
do
a
role
in
a
period
film,
yes;
I
am
longing
to
do
a
period
film.
Any
role
you
missed
out
on
last
year?
I
think
it
would
be
the
role
of
Aspi,
which
I
am
doing
in
Honeymoon
Travels
this
year!
