A
much
coy
Minissha
Lamba
is
going
through
a
massive
image
makeover.
In
her
soon-to-be-released
Kidnap,
she
would
be
donning
a
bikini
which
certainly
comes
as
a
surprise
to
those
who
have
been
following
her
career
in
films
like
Yahaan,
Honeymoon
Travels
Pvt.
Ltd,
Shaurya
and
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno.
"Well,
it
is
shocking
for
quite
a
few
people
but
if
you
ask
me,
I
am
really
enjoying
it
all",
says
Minissha
who
has
seen
an
eventful
2008
so
far,
"Seriously,
I
felt
beautiful
when
I
donned
the
bikini
for
Kidnap.
And
though
people
do
ask
me
how
comfortable
I
was
with
the
thought
of
wearing
a
bikini,
let
me
tell
you
that
I
was
more
focused
on
getting
my
body
into
the
right
shape
than
worrying
about
anything
else."
Talking
about
her
decision
to
join
the
bikini
bandwagon,
Minissha
admits,
"Yes,
I
have
joined
the
bikini
bandwagon.
After
all,
not
many
girls
are
doing
it
even
today,
isn't
it?
In
any
case
when
you
see
Kidnap,
you
would
realize
that
the
makeover
isn't
for
the
sake
of
it.
This
was
meant
to
be
a
part
of
the
character
and
I
was
duly
convinced
that
donning
a
bikini
was
indeed
an
integral
part
of
the
script."
While
industry
and
cine-goers
are
definitely
noticing
this
makeover,
what
were
the
kind
of
reactions
that
she
got
from
people
close
to
her
-
read
friends
and
family?
"We
are
not
grown
up
in
a
conservative
household
and
together,
we
watch
a
lot
of
Hollywood
films",
discloses
Minissha,
"Something
like
a
bikini
is
hardly
a
culture
shock
since
as
a
family,
we
are
quite
modern
in
our
outlook
and
very
progressive.
In
any
case,
everyone
today
understands
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
is
just
a
part
that
you
are
playing
for
a
film.
The
buck
stops
there."
By
wearing
a
bikini
for
Kidnap,
Minissha
now
joins
the
gang
of
young
women
who
have
willingly
agreed
to
get
into
the
costume
for
a
Sanjay
Gadhvi
film.
After
Esha
Deol
(Dhoom)
and
Bipasha
Basu
(Dhoom
2),
she
is
the
new
bikini
girl
for
Gadhvi.
"And
I
am
so
very
proud
of
that",
exclaims
Minissha,
"When
Sanjay
told
me
that
I
had
to
go
through
this
image
change
in
Kidnap,
I
was
game
for
it.
I
feel
it
was
great
to
explore
a
new
side
of
me.
Going
by
the
reaction
that
I
am
getting
from
people,
I
guess
the
experiment
has
indeed
paid
off."
