The
sexy
lass,
who
hitherto
was
best
known
for
her
seductive
portrayals
through
films
like
Musafir,
,
has
taken
to
exploring
her
comic
streak,
something
she
maintains
to
have
plenty
lying
untapped
till
now!
"I
often
feel
that
I
should
have
debuted
with
a
comedy
instead
of
getting
into
this
glamourous
rut!" remarks
Sameera,
adding,
"I
have
grown
up
in
a
house
full
of
laughter;
so
it
was
only
natural
that
I
have
a
hugely
humourous
side.
But
till
now,
filmmakers
were
so
afraid
of
experimenting
with
anything
beyond
the
periphery,
that
nothing
much
innovative
was
being
made;
leave
aside
anything
innovative
being
made
in
the
genre
of
comedy,
that
had
little
to
offer
expect
slapstick.
Thankfully,
things
are
changing
for
the
better
now.
Actresses
too
are
being
giving
a
chance
to
showcase
their
comical
side
instead
of
just
playing
glam-dolls
and
I'm
glad
to
be
a
part
of
this
new
wave
wherein
I'm
getting
a
chance
to
showcase
my
comedy
in
new-age,
slick
comic-capers
like
Fool
and
Final
and
Race,"
says
Sameera
who
admits
to
have
had
a
ball
while
shooting
for
both
these
films.
"Firstly,
since
both
of
them
were
comedies,
they
were
totally
up
my
alley,
which
made
it
a
great
joy
to
work
in
them.
Trust
me,
as
much
as
I
love
doing
those
sexy
numbers,
I'd
give
my
right
arm
to
work
in
a
laugh-riot,
which
is
so
fill
of
energy
that
it
perks
you
up
instantly
and
doesn't
make
work
seem
like
work
at
all.
Also
it
was
a
treat
to
bond
with
actors
like
Shahid,
Ayesha,
Katrina,
Bipasha,
all
of
whom
are
so
chilled
out,
so
secure.
Whatever
catfights
or
bickering
one
gets
to
read
about
these
of
any
other
actors,
thankfully,
I
have
never
faced
any
such
problems
with
regards
to
any
of
them
and
in
fact,
seriously
feel
that
these
fights
must
be
the
imagination
of
some
overzealous
minds,
of
which
we
have
plenty
of
in
the
industry.
From
my
experience,
I'd
say,
it's
great
that
today
actors
are
getting
more
comfortable
with
the
competition
around
and
are
easing
up
to
each
other.
It
can
be
tricky
having
to
walk
on
eggshells
all
the
time," says
Sameera
tongue-firmly-in-cheek
as
she
refuses
to
elaborate
more
on
this
aspect.
That
she
is
game
to
elaborate
about
is
the
travel
that
she
got
to
do
through
these
films,
especially
'Race'.
"Oh,
we
shot
across
a
lot
of
Middle-Eastern
places
and
Australia
and
it
was
amazing
to
travel
to
so
many
places
simultaneously.
It's
what
any
travel-freak
like
me
would
die
for,"
says
Sexy
Sam,
who
had
the
most
fun
in
Turkey,
which
she
was
enchanted
with
due
to
its
architecture
and
seamless
blend
of
history
and
modernity.
"I'm
not
a
mindless
traveler;
I
love
to
explore
places
that
have
some
character
and
Turkey
is
surely
one
of
them".
Getting
back
to
work,
the
most
prominent
aspect
of
Sam's
life
at
the
moment,
she
sounds
perked
up
about
the
fact
that
the
year
began
for
her
with
Mira
Nair's
Migration,
a
Bengali
film
on
the
issue
of
AIDS.
"Though
I
can't
give
out
much
of
the
story
of
Migration
in
which
I
play
a
frustrated
housewife,
it
has
been
a
humbling
experience
to
do
a
film
on
an
issue
that
we
always
feel
can
never
touch
our
lives
till
reality
hits
you
coldly
on
a
not-so-fine
day!"
says
Sameera
who
has
acted
in
a
Bengali
film
for
the
second
time
after
Buddhadeb
Dasgupta's
KaalPurush.
"It's
great
to
be
getting
roles
of
substance
in
regional
cinema
which
has
its
loyal
audience
and
is
being
greatly
received
on
the
national
and
international
plane
at
the
moment.
Guess
I
am
lucky
to
be
at
the
right
place
at
the
right
time,"
says
Sameera
who,
however,
refutes
claims
that
this
is
an
indication
of
her
veering
away
from
the
glamourous
roles.
"As
much
as
I
love
to
act
in
serious
cinema
which
gives
you
a
creative
high,
I
can
never
think
of
giving
up
the
jhatak-matak
roles!
It's
a
sheer
joy
for
the
actress
in
me
when
laypeople
like
the
rickshawallahs
and
street-urchins,
who
are
never
going
to
see
the
serious
films
one
does,
wave
out
to
you
in
recognition
and
tell
you
how
much
they
enjoyed
a
particular
song
of
yours!"
Well,
well,
things
are
rocking
for
Sameera
on
the
professional
front,
but
what's
the
scene
like
on
the
personal
one?
"Boring
and
sleepy!"
moans
Sameera
who,
while
waving
away
her
link-ups
of
the
past,
(with
Sanjay
Gupta
being
the
latest
example)
as
rubbish
admits
that,
"I'm
craving
for
some
real
action
in
my
life!
I
have
been
away
from
romance
for
too
long
now
and
hope
to
be
in
a
relationship
very
soon...Hmmm,
if
only
things
would
go
my
way!"
