The
Bengali
damsel
still
has
a
long
way
to
go.
Rimi
Sen
has
recently
broken
ties
with
Priyadarshan
and
comedies,
and
thinks
her
last
movie,
Hat
Trick,
was
excellent,
despite
its
fate
at
the
box
office.
These
days
she
is
excited
about
her
recent
film
Johnny
Gaddaar.
While
we
wait
to
watch
how
she
will
fare
in
this
one,
we
chat
her
up.
What
are
you
looking
forward
to
in
Johnny
Gaddaar?
This
is
the
first
time
that
I
have
acted
in
a
genre
that
is
not
comedy.
I
think
if
the
director
is
good,
then
everything
goes
well.
I
did
this
film
for
Shriram
ji.
I
have
seen
his
last
film,
'Ek
Haseena
Thi',
and
I
was
spell
bound
by
the
way
he
presented
Saif
and
Urmila.
Tell
us
about
your
character
in
this
film.
Shriramji
has
simply
forbidden
me
to
say
anything
about
my
role.
All
I
can
tell
you
is
that
I'm
playing
a
simple
girl
named
Mini,
someone
who
wants
to
live
life
happily.
The
role
required
me
to
wear
clothes
styled
from
the
70s
–
wrap
around
skirt,
simple
churidars,
etc.
I
am
not
glamorous
in
the
film
I
look
good.
My
character
has
many
shades.
What
was
it
like,
working
with
Neil?
It
was
a
great
experience.
The
best
thing
is
that
I
did
not
have
to
stand
on
a
piece
of
wood.
As
all
my
previous
heroes
were
much
taller
than
me,
so
I
needed
to
stand
on
something
to
gain
height.
People
make
you
dance
on
their
finger
tips,
but
I
have
always
had
to
dance
on
a
piece
of
wood!
There
are
some
hot
scenes
in
the
promo
of
the
film.
And
that
is
all
you
see
in
the
movie
as
well.
There
are
no
kissing
or
love-making
scenes
between
Neil
and
me.
I
am
not
very
comfortable
with
those,
and
Shriram
ji
kept
that
in
mind.
And
what
was
with
like
working
with
Dharmendra?
I
have
only
one
scene
with
Dharmendraji.
It
was
wonderful
meeting
him.
I
have
earlier
worked
with
Esha
and
Hema
ji,
now
I
have
to
work
with
Bobby
and
Sunny
very
soon.
You
have
worked
with
two
generations
of
actors.
How
was
that
experience?
Actors
of
this
generation
are
more
liberal.
They
think
in
innovative
ways.
Actors
from
the
previous
generation,
on
the
other
hand,
are
more
serious
–
they
think
over
a
shot
for
quite
some
time
before
they
are
ready
to
take
the
shot.
This
is
an
art
and
it
comes
out
of
experience.
Till
I
become
a
senior
actress,
I'll
completely
depend
on
my
directors.
Are
you
happy
with
the
characters
you
are
playing?
Absolutely.
The
most
important
thing
for
me
is
that
I'm
working
with
better
directors.
I
have
been
in
Mumbai
for
three
years,
and
I
have
learned
a
lot.
My
last
film
'Hat
Trick'
was
a
good
movie,
but
it's
a
different
issue
that
it
didn't
wok
well
at
the
box
office.
Tell
us
about
your
upcoming
films.
There
is
'De
Taali',
the
story
of
four
friends,
where
I'm
working
with
Ayesha
Takia,
Reteish
Deshmukh
and
Aftab
Shivdasani.
The
schedule
will
be
over
by
the
end
of
this
year.
Nana
Patekar
and
Mohit
Ahlawat
are
my
co-stars
in
the
film
'Shagird',
where
I'm
playing
a
reporter
in
this
film.
That
was
a
tough
job.
Why
playing
reporter
is
a
tough
job?
I
found
it
tough
to
get
the
expressions
of
a
reporter.
I
always
thought
that
reporters
were
not
to
be
trusted
with
whatever
you
said,
but
I
found
out
that
is
not
the
entire
truth.
They
also
have
responsibilities
in
relationships.
If
you
ask
them
not
to
publish
something,
they
won't.
What
do
you
think
of
reporters
now?
I
used
to
think
that
it
was
all
hype,
but
now
I
feel
a
reporter
deserves
some
respect.
It
is
a
merciless
job.
