For
someone
who
comes
from
a
non-filmy
background,
Amrita
Puri
is
content
to
be
making
her
debut
in
the
world
of
movies
as
a
second
lead.
Born
with
a
silver
spoon
in
her
mouth,
Amrita
is
the
daughter
of
an
entrepreneur
with
a
life
that
has
been
lived
in
the
fast
lane.
Confident,
classy
as
well
as
stylish
in
real
life,
Amrita
is
playing
a
character
that
is
required
to
be
totally
opposite
on
screen.
However,
those
who
have
caught
the
pretty
girl
in
the
promos
of
Aisha
vouch
that
she
indeed
would
be
having
a
rosy
journey
ahead.
This
correspondent
gets
talking
to
Amrita
who
is
debuting
as
a
small
town
girl
from
Bahadurgarh
in
Aisha.
Amrita,
are
we
going
to
see
the
sweetest
'behenji'
ever
in
Bollywood
once
Aisha
hits
the
screen?
I
hope
so
(laughs).
Shefali
Thakur,
the
character
that
I
enact
in
Aisha,
is
so
very
sweet
and
cute.
In
fact
to
get
the
accent
right
for
someone
who
was
a
'chote
shehar
ki
ladki',
I
had
to
actually
train
myself
a
lot
on
my
diction.
Her
behaviour
is
very
adorable
and
things
that
she
says
are
so
very
funny.
She
is
very
loveable
and
it
was
endearing
to
be
living
this
character.
Because
of
these
traits,
even
though
I
play
a
'behenji'
with
a
'choti'
and
all,
I
could
look
cute
with
all
those
rosy
cheeks.
As
I
understand,
you
are
pretty
much
aware
about
the
world
of
fashion.
So
playing
someone
who
is
totally
ignorant
must
have
been
fun,
right?
She
was
very
fun
to
play
and
as
you
rightly
say,
it
was
mainly
because
of
the
way
the
character
was
written.
Of
course,
after
seeing
myself
in
the
mirror
with
that
long
'choti',
I
used
to
go
like
'Oh
my
God,
when
would
I
come
out
if
it'.
Did
that
eventually
happen?
Yes,
once
my
character
went
through
a
makeover
in
the
film.
This
is
when
I
get
to
wear
good
and
trendy
clothes.
Having
said
that,
it
isn't
as
if
Shefali
Thakur
is
only
there
for
fun
elements.
She
has
moments
too,
something
that
makes
her
a
fantastic
character
to
play.
Not
many
actors
would
have
been
okay
to
have
a
co-star
share
limelight,
especially
when
it
is
their
home
production.
In
this
way,
isn't
it
really
a
big
deal
that
Sonam
Kapoor
has
kept
you
pretty
prominent
in
the
promos?
She
is
not
an
editor
or
a
director
to
decide
the
promo
(smiles).
Of
course
as
producers,
her
family
does
have
a
good
say
in
deciding
what
to
keep
and
what
not
to
keep.
It
is
good
to
see
that
Kapoors
are
looking
at
the
film
as
a
whole
and
how
to
make
it
a
best
possible
product.
Since
it
is
an
ensemble
film,
if
a
single
actor
is
given
prominence
then
it
wouldn't
have
done
justice
to
the
product
at
all.
The
makers
were
focusing
on
giving
the
film
a
good
launch
and
it
is
great
that
they
have
conveyed
the
same
through
the
promos.
Well,
the
promos
also
indicate
that
Aisha
could
well
be
an
all-women
affair.
With
quite
some
bonding
between
female
protagonists
that
includes
you
and
Sonam
Kapoor
along
with
Ira
Dubey
and
Lisa
Haydon,
can
one
say
that
finally
Bollywood
has
matured
enough
for
it's
first
ever
major
chic
flick?
Yes,
Aisha
is
a
chic
flick
but
then
I
don't
think
that
audience
will
feel
that
it
is
only
for
women.
It
is
a
fun
young
film
and
people
across
the
board
will
enjoy
it.
Add
to
this
the
fact
that
Aisha
is
a
very
light
film
only
adds
on
to
the
many
positives
that
it
carries
with
it.
The
film
will
go
down
well
with
everybody
but
having
said
that,
women
would
definitely
be
taking
a
good
chunk
of
limelight.
You
have
made
a
start
in
Bollywood
where
a
tag
of
being
a
second
lead
has
got
attached
to
you
in
your
very
first
film.
Doesn't
that
worry
you?
(Says
after
a
pause)
Honestly,
I
did
think
about
it
initially
that
second
lead
nahi
karna
chahiye.
After
all
you
don't
want
to
get
stuck
in
a
particular
bracket.
However,
I
realised
very
quickly
that
Shefali
was
such
a
fabulous
character
to
enact.
I
could
sense
that
the
kind
of
response
this
character
would
invoke
would
be
such
that
if
I
could
get
it
right,
it
would
be
a
very
positive
step
for
me
in
the
right
direction.
I
looked
at
Aisha
as
a
package
with
a
top
of
the
line
producer,
big
set
up
and
stars.
I
didn't
want
to
let
go
off
such
opportunity.
Now
that
the
film
is
releasing,
I
am
just
praying
that
more
and
more
people
watch
it.
If
they
like
my
work
then
rest
assured,
lead
roles
will
follow
too.
So
have
there
been
any
feelers
already?
Soon
after
the
promo
of
Aisha
came
on
air,
a
major
director
did
call
and
wanted
to
meet
me
for
a
role.
I
know
for
sure
that
quite
a
few
people
want
to
see
the
film.
I
am
sure
once
they
watch
it;
people
in
Bollywood
would
pick
up
the
phone
and
say
that
they
want
to
work
with
me.
I
am
quite
positive
about
that.
