I am versatile to carry off everything Gul Panag
Please
tell
us
about
your
character
in
Hello...
I
play
Priyanka
-
a
girl
who
is
very
glam,
and
aware
of
the
power
of
her
good
looks.
She
has
shades
of
grey
that
makes
her
very
real
and
relatable.
The
film
is
based
on
a
novel.
How
did
you
feel
giving
life
to
such
a
character
especially
while
you
know
that
people
know
about
the
character?
I
tried
to
play
the
character
with
utmost
honestly
and
sincerity.
I
also
had
lots
of
discussions
with
Chetan
Bhagat
about
playing
Priyanka.
Lastly,
I
left
myself
completely
in
the
hands
of
Atul.
Have
you
ever
read
the
book?
Three
times
before
meeting
Atul
for
the
first
time.
Twice
again
while
filming.
Atul
Agnihotri
as
a
director...
tell
about
a
good
thing
and
a
bad
thing...
He
is
a
very
gentle
person,
and
finds
it
difficult
to
be
tough
with
people,
which
I
suppose
could
be
a
bad
thing.
And
because
he's
been
an
actor,
he's
fabulous
with
actors,
which
is
a
great
thing.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
with
actors,
especially
Isha?
You
are
doing
Hello
Darling
with
her
and
it's
because
of
her
that
the
shoot
got
delayed
all
the
time...
Eesha
is
extremely
talented
and
hardworking.
I
got
along
well
with
her
during
Hello
and
got
even
closer
during
Hello
Darling.
Shoot's
get
delayed
for
lots
of
reasons,
but
I
can
assure
you
not
on
account
of
her.
She
is
too
professional
for
that.
Salman
and
Katrina
are
also
there
in
this
flick.
Do
you
have
any
scene
with
them?
No.
I
shot
the
promo
song
with
Salman,
though,
and
it
was
a
great
experience.
Summer
2007
flopped.
What
do
you
expect
from
this
film?
So?
So
did
many
other
big
films.
One
can't
stop
being
part
of
good
cinema
on
the
basis
of
their
box
office
future.
As
for
this
film,
it
is
a
good
film
and
very
well
made.
Expectations?
I
never
think
about
things
that
are
out
of
my
control!
When
a
good
film
does
well
it
shows
that
the
audience
has
good
taste.
You
entered
Bollywood
from
a
glamour
world
of
beauty
contest
but
accepted
non-glamorous
roles.
Then
after
all
these
years
suddenly
you
got
entangled
in
a
controversy
of
skin
showing.
Do
you
intend
to
change
your
image
with
that
or
have
some
other
intention?
I
am
fortunate
that
I
have
the
image
of
a
"good" and
"credible"
actor.
And
I
would
not
want
to
change
that.
Actors
take
years
trying
to
get
that.
As
for
glamour
or
the
lack
of
it,
I
have
to
say
it's
a
complete
non
issue
for
me
when
choosing
my
roles.
And
just
because
I've
done
de
glam
roles
in
the
past
doesn't
make
Gul,
the
person,
de
glam.
I
am
what
I
am
-
someone
who
is
versatile
enough
to
be
able
to
carry
off
everything.
And
about
controversy,
I
am
not
aware
of
any!!
And
skin
show??
Please!!
When
have
I
ever
been
the
demure
one
in
a
sari
or
salwar
kameez
off
screen??
Not
more
than
a
few
times
and
that,
too,
for
maintaining
the
sanctity
of
an
occasion.
I
have
always
dressed
in
my
own
way
–whether
it's
short
dresses
or
deep
necks
there's
nothing
new
or
different
and
certainly
no
'intention'.
