"I don't want to comment on Aishwarya"
Pakistani superstar Meera had huge plans of extending her stardom to Bollywood. Unfortunately, her high profile debut in Nazar, produced by Mahesh Bhatt, was a dud and it followed by the disastrous Kasak where she was seen alongside singer-actor Lucky Ali. But Meera is not one to give up. Now her hopes are pinned on Simran opposite Aryan Vaid, who was recently seen rocking in the Bigg Boss house.
We caught up with her at Panchgani where she was shooting a romantic song for the film with hero Aryan. As she dances to the tunes of 'Tu hi laila, tu hi majnu, main kahungi tuhje shaam. Ram naam jape koi, main japungi tera naam...' we see renewed enthusiasm in her.
Q:
Tell
us
something
about
the
scene
you
are
shooting
now.
A:
This
is
a
romantic
song
soon
after
my
marriage
in
the
film.
It
actually
is
a
dream
sequence.
I
don't
know
if
it
can
relate
to
reality,
as
it's
a
complete
dream
song.
Sherya
Ghoshal
and
Udit
Narayan
sang
it.
In
fact,
the
music
is
really
nice.
It
is
very
entertaining
and
romantic.
Q:
What
is
the
story
of
Simran
all
about?
A:
The
story
of
the
movie
is
very
beautiful.
It's
a
crucial
subject
and
a
woman-oriented
film.
When
the
director
narrated
me
the
story,
I
was
very
much
excited
to
play
the
title
role.
This
role
energized
me
because
the
role
is
very
simple
and
pretty.
The
story
really
touched
my
heart.
Simran
is
a
Manglik.
Personally,
I
don't
believe
in
the
stars.
But
the
whole
story
revolves
around
this
crucial
factor.
I
was
bowled
over
by
the
concept.
Now
this
film
is
very
important
for
me.
Q:
Is
the
story
based
on
the
life
of
Aishwarya
Rai?
A:
I
personally
don't
know
Ash.
And
I
can't
comment
or
say
anything
in
that
regard.
I
think
you
should
ask
the
director
and
the
producer.
They
can
tell
you
correctly.
It
is
their
idea
and
thought.
However,
I
can
say
that
it
is
very
simple
and
nice
film.
Q:
How
does
it
feel
to
shoot
in
a
beautiful
locale
like
Panchgani?
A:
For
the
first
time,
I
have
come
to
Panchgani.
Of
course,
it
is
a
beautiful
and
a
very
romantic
place.
When
I
was
in
Pakistan,
I
used
to
see
these
locations
on
screen.
Now
to
practically
shoot
over
here
is
like
having
a
ball
of
a
time.
Q:
Are
you
comfortable
shooting
in
India?
How
are
your
co-stars?
A:
They
were
very
nice
to
me
and
were
very
supportive
and
encouraging.
Most
importantly,
they
respected
me.
That's
why
I
am
very
glad.
Whomsoever
I
work
with,
the
chemistry
is
really
good.
If
you
and
your
co-stars
are
good
friends,
chemistry
always
comes
out
well.
This
time
it
is
no
different..
Q:
Your
previous
films
have
not
done
well
on
the
box
office.
Many
have
dubbed
you
as
a
flop
actress.
Any
regrets?
A:
Actors
are
never
flop.
My
work
is
to
keep
working.
Public
acceptance
is
required
for
a
movie
to
be
a
hit.
Now
I
just
want
to
work.
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
hits
and
flops.
Even
Kareena
Kapoor
and
Abhishek
Bachchan's
initial
movies
did
not
do
well.
Now
I
am
only
looking
forward
to
the
release
of
Simran
as
the
shooting
is
almost
over.
