"I wish Salman stays in my life forever": Ali Larter
Features
oi-Staff
By Super Admin
In
the
U.S,
she
is
a
true
hero
but
heroine
would
sound
even
better,
and
why
not?
She
has
starred
in
memorable
Hollywood
films
such
as
Varsity
Blues
(1999)
and
Final
Destination
1
(2000)
and
Final
Destination
2
(2003),
but
she
got
the
star
status
not
from
the
film
world,
but
from
the
world
of
television
in
the
form
of
America's
number
one
sci-fi
drama
and
Emmy
Award
nominated
Heroes
(2006).
Now,
from
Hollywood
to
Bollywood,
Ali
Larter's
unexpected
adventure
in
India
is
about
to
begin
where
she
portrays
a
role
of
an
American
actress
who
comes
to
Goa
only
to
find
that
her
low-budget
Hollywood
film
is
shelved.
Ali
Larter
speaks
about
her
upcoming
film
Marigold,
where
she
acts
opposite
Salman
Khan.
How
was
your
unexpected
journey
to
India
for
Marigold
like?
It
was
an
absolutely
extraordinary
journey
for
me.
I
was
able
to
experience
different
cultures
within
India
and
was
totally
blown
away
by
the
spirit
of
the
people,
the
generosity
they
showed
and
the
vibrant
colours
which
women
wear
especially
where
we
were
filming.
I
really
just
fell
in
love
with
the
country
which
took
me
under
its
spell.
You've
worked
with
Bollywood's
bad
boy,
hunk
and
casanova
Salman
Khan.
Tell
us
something
about
him.
He
is
my
boy.
We
had
such
a
great
time
together
on
and
off
the
sets.
Our
first
meeting
took
place
in
a
restaurant
and
we
were
on
guard
straight
away.
He
arrived
there
with
his
entourage
talking
on
the
phone
like
a
school
kid.
But
that
was
it.
From
that
moment,
we
ended
up
talking
till
night
time.
We
really
formed
a
true
friendship
and
I
wish
he
stays
in
my
life
forever.
I
hope
our
paths
cross
again
sometime
and
we
meet
up
soon.
Professionally,
he
is
a
like
any
other
co-star
I've
worked
with
before
-
focused,
entertaining
and
giving
a
lot
tips
on
how
to
act
only
because
he
knows
Bollywood
more
than
I
do.
Do
you
think
the
delay
of
Marigold's
release
will
work
as
an
advantage
to
the
film
because
now
Ali
Larter
is
a
famous
face
in
the
U.S
after
'Heroes'?
I
can't
wait
for
the
film
to
release
this
month
because
I've
had
the
best
time
of
my
life
filming
for
Marigold.
For
me,
I
just
hope
that
people
go
and
watch
the
film
because
it
is
a
very
sweet
story
which
will
make
them
laugh.
The
delay
will
rather
make
the
audience
curious
to
go
to
the
cinemas.
What
was
the
difficult
part
of
shooting
a
film
in
India?
It
has
to
be
the
heat.
We
shot
the
wedding
sequence
first
in
Rajasthan
with
all
the
make-up
and
heavy
jewellery
covered
with
shawls
and
beadings.
Having
to
wear
that
in
a
45
degree
centigrade
was
definitely
a
challenge.
But
I
still
managed
to
work
six
days
a
week
and
never
got
sick
because
I
wanted
to
be
in
the
movie
and
had
to
stand
up
and
be
there
whenever
my
director
Willard
Carroll
needed
me.
The
film
was
centered
around
me.
So
if
I
went
down,
the
whole
production
would
go
down.
But
I
have
no
complaints
as
I've
had
a
wonderful
time
out
in
India.
As
far
as
Hollywood
is
concerned,
what's
coming
up
next?
My
next
release
will
be
Resident
Evil
3
coming
out
in
September
in
the
U.S.
In
the
U.K
the
film
will
release
in
October.
I
am
looking
forward
to
it.
Which
is
your
favourite
track
from
Marigold?
My
favourite
track
is
Yeh
Pyaar
Kya
Hai.
I
loved
the
backdrop
of
Taj
Mahal
in
the
song,
the
elephants,
the
colours,
everything.
The
song
comes
at
the
end
of
the
film.
Have
you
seen
the
Taj
Mahal
while
you
were
in
India?
You
know
what,
I
regret
it
now
that
I
didn't
visit
one
of
the
seven
wonders
of
the
world.
I
was
so
busy
filming
that
I
didn't
get
time.
But
my
family
and
friends
who
came
to
visit
me
did
go.
They
were
damn
lucky.
How
was
Willard
Carroll
different
from
other
Hollywood
directors
you've
worked
with?
You
can
see
how
Willard's
love
for
India
is
brought
to
the
celluloid
in
Marigold.
He
is
a
very
brave
director
because
he
stepped
outside
his
country
to
make
a
cross
culture
film,
not
to
prove
a
point
but
to
prove
to
the
people
that
India
has
so
much
to
offer.
He
has
an
incredible
sense
of
humour,
he
is
an
intelligent
writer
and
a
great
human
being.
Before
we
part,
you
have
to
tell
us
how
much
did
you
enjoy
eating
out
in
India.
Don't
even
mention
the
word
'food'.
I
love
it
and
can't
wait
to
grab
a
curry
and
rice.
On
the
sets
too
we
had
an
amazing
experience
while
munching
on
Indian
curries.
It's
got
the
world's
best
aroma.
It's
spicy
yet
tasty.
Thanks
for
asking
this
question
because
after
I
finish
answering
I'm
going
out
to
grab
one.
