Just
a
day
to
go
for
the
release
of
Sorry
Bhai
and
Chitrangda
Singh
is
caught
in
a
nervous
yet
jovial
mood.
She
admits
about
all
eyes
being
set
on
her
comeback,
especially
since
there
were
loud
cries
when
she
announced
her
premature
'alvida'
to
Bollywood
after
Hazaron
Khwahishen
Aisi
and
Kal
-
Yesterday
and
Tomorrow.
However,
she
understands
that
Sorry
Bhai
would
be
a
different
project
since
now
audience
is
aware
about
her
existence.
Chitrangda,
barely
24
hours
to
go.
Feeling
Terrific?
Terrible?
[Laughs]
I
can't
tell
you
because
I
myself
don't
know.
I
can't
sleep
as
I
am
thinking
about
the
film
very
moment.
I
think
more
than
the
audience,
I
myself
have
great
expectations
because
of
the
comeback
factor.
When
Hazaaron...'
happened,
I
just
walked
in
for
the
release
as
I
didn't
know
what
to
expect.
Even
though
it
was
my
debut
film,
I
didn't
feel
anything
at
all.
In
fact
I
remember
that
at
that
time,
I
was
more
worried
about
what
I
would
be
wearing
for
the
release
event
than
the
audience
reaction.
And
then
you
waited
for
years
before
making
a
comeback
with
Sorry
Bhai.
Weren't
you
shocked
by
the
subject
though,
that
of
a
woman
falling
for
her
finance's
brother?
For
centuries,
there
is
a
saying
that
'Saali
aadhi
gharwali
hoti
hai'.
So
today,
why
do
we
shy
away
from
saying
that
'Devar
matlab
aadha
gharwala'?
Why
not
talk
in
equal
terms.
I
know
that
the
moment
a
female
says
something
like
this
even
in
a
joking
way
at
home,
she
would
be
reprimanded.
And
then
we
talk
about
woman
empowerment!
In
any
case,
we
have
showcased
the
entire
dilemma
in
a
lighthearted
manner.
Even
the
film's
punchline
says
that
'Come
Fall
In
Love
With
Your
Brother's
Bride'!
From
your
earlier
heavy-duty
films,
Sorry
Bhai
would
have
come
across
as
a
welcome
relief?
Definitely,
this
was
some
kind
of
relief.
In
fact
even
when
I
did
my
first
two
films,
a
lot
of
people
were
asking
me
if
I
would
continue
to
keep
doing
stuff
like
that.
Why
just
me,
no
actor
would
want
to
do
the
same
thing
time
and
again.
It
all
becomes
mundane
and
I
also
wanted
to
do
something
lighter
where
I
didn't
have
to
stress
myself;
something
which
isn't
too
high
on
emotions.
I
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
something
which
is
fun
and
nice.
And
was
that
the
reason
you
didn't
sign
anything
for
such
long
time?
Were
you
getting
all
intense
roles
to
portray?
No,
that
was
not
the
case.
In
fact
I
had
cut
myself
completely.
It
was
last
year
when
I
finally
decided
that
I
wanted
to
get
back
to
films
and
started
thinking
of
calling
up
people.
Coincidentally,
Onir
called
up
around
the
same
time
and
narrated
the
script.
I
was
itching
to
get
back
in
front
of
camera
and
since
I
knew
about
the
two
films
he
had
done
(My
Brother
Nikhil
and
Bas
Ek
Pal),
I
was
game.
But
why
Onir?
Onir
told
me
that
Sorry
Bhai
was
a
light
fun
family
film
but
again
dealing
with
a
delicate
subject.
I
guess
it
was
the
perfect
combination
that
I
was
looking
for.
So
you
know,
it
was
not
really
planned
that
I
was
saying
no
to
all
heavyweights
and
suddenly
said
yes
to
him.
It
all
just
fitted
in
well
at
the
right
time.
Onir
hasn't
quite
tasted
commercial
success.
Weren't
you
worried?
I
am
a
bit
impulsive
when
it
comes
to
making
decisions
and
I
wasn't
worried
about
Onir's
record.
I
want
to
do
certain
characters
and
whether
I
select
them
right
or
wrong,
I
stand
by
my
decisions.
I
go
by
my
gut
feelings.
Moreover,
regardless
of
the
way
his
films
may
have
done
at
the
box
office,
they
had
some
sensibilities
of
their
own.
I
like
the
fact
that
he
does
something
different
every
time.
Moreover,
the
moment
I
got
to
know
about
the
film's
cast
with
people
like
Shabana
Azmi
involved,
I
knew
for
sure
that
this
was
going
to
be
my
comeback
film.
So
after
all
the
hype
and
hoopla,
the
real
test
comes
in
the
form
of
the
final
product.
Sorry
Bhai
has
gone
through
some
private
screenings
for
celebrities
and
friends.
How
have
the
reactions
been?
It
may
sound
cliched
but
the
fact
is
that
people
have
liked
the
film
immensely.
My
performance
has
been
appreciated
and
what
gladdened
me
most
was
to
get
a
message
from
Raju
Hirani.
He
felt
that
I
was
being
quite
natural
in
the
film
and
even
went
on
to
suggest
that
I
now
start
keeping
a
date
diary
handy.
That
was
such
a
nice
thing
to
hear
because
here
I
was
so
insecure
and
nervous
while
someone
of
his
stature
was
impressed
by
my
work.
Really,
my
day
was
made!
There
must
have
been
some
brickbats
too?
Of
course
yes.
There
are
some
odd
people
who
have
morality
issues
with
the
way
things
should
work
in
real
life.
But
that's
ok;
people
should
have
a
difference
of
opinion.
This
is
the
very
reason
the
film
has
been
made
so
that
we
can
tell
our
point
of
view.
