Minissha
likes
to
be
17.
She
played
a
17
year
old
girl
in
her
recent
success
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno
and
even
in
her
forthcoming
film
Kidnap,
she
is
enjoying
enacting
the
role
of
a
girl
of
the
same
age.
"However,
apart
from
the
age
factor,
there
is
absolutely
nothing
else
common
between
the
two
characters
that
I
portray
on
screen
for
the
two
films",
says
Minissha
who
has
consistently
impressed
critics
and
audience
alike
with
her
performances
in
Yahaan,
Honeymoon
Travels
Pvt.
Ltd,
Dus
Kahaniyaan,
Shaurya
and
very
recently
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno,
"Sonia
of
Kidnap
is
so
very
different
from
Mahi
of
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno
even
though
both
are
in
their
growing
up
years."
Revealing
more
about
the
contrasting
parts
that
she
has
played
in
the
two
films,
Minissha
says,
"In
Bachna...,
I
was
this
sweet
girl
with
moony
eyes
who
is
looking
for
togetherness
in
life
from
the
first
guy
she
falls
in
love
with
ever.
She
is
unable
to
ever
forget
her
first
love.
On
the
other
hand
in
Kidnap,
my
character
is
that
of
a
hip
girl
who
parties
hard,
is
quite
sassy
and
overall
energetic.
She
never
lets
a
dull
moment
around
her."
Since
she
is
in
her
early
20s,
where
does
she
see
herself
in
real
life?
Is
she
the
'bindaas'
Sonia
from
Kidnap
who
doesn't
mind
getting
into
a
bikini
once
on
beach?
Laughs
Minissha,
"In
real
life
I
am
somewhere
between
Mahi
and
Sonia.
I
am
not
that
dreamy
and
demure
or
overtly
outrageous.
I
am
rather
pragmatic
in
real
life
and
know
what
is
possible
in
real
world
and
what's
not.
I
am
actually
quite
grounded
to
reality
and
that's
the
way
I
like
things
to
be."
How
easy
or
difficult
then
it
is
to
portray
something
on
screen
which
is
not
your
real
self?
"Of
what
I
have
learnt
in
3
years
of
my
professional
career
here
in
Bollywood,
I
understand
that
the
whole
point
is
about
how
you
are
perceived
in
the
industry.
I
am
liking
the
way
I
am
experimenting
with
my
roles
and
appearances",
says
Minissha.
Talking
about
her
future
plans,
Minissha
says
on
a
parting
note,
"There
is
stuff
in
the
pipeline
for
sure
but
at
the
moment,
all
my
energy
and
focus
is
on
Kidnap."
