During an appearance on an episode of "Vogue BFFs", she said: "I remember it was at a party which was for a cosmetic company, in 2006, I think. This tall person walks up to me -- which is Atul -- and he's like, 'Oh my God, do you want to model?' I had just started acting in Saawariya. And I wasn't out at all, publicly, because my parents had kept me away from the press and the paps (paparazzi) and everything."

"So nobody knew what I looked like or anything," the Khoobsurat star added. "One of my friends was a make-up artist, so I just went for her party, just for fun! Nobody took pictures of me at that point. And I have Atul walking up to me and saying, 'Do you want to model?' So I told him, 'I am already acting in a movie!'."

To that, Kasbekar told her: "Ok, good...good."

The actress, who is known for her fashion sense and brazen honesty, has made a place for herself in Bollywood with films like Neerja, Raanjhana, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.With inputs from IANS.
