"I'm happy that people are liking Aftab and my chemistry" - Aamna
She is an extremely popular name and face on Indian television courtesy her portrayal of 'Kashish' in TV serial 'Kahin To Hoga'. Now the extremely pretty and talented Aamna Shariff is all set to make her big Bollywood debut with the romantic comedy Aloo Chaat. In an exclusive interview with us, Aamna speaks about her first film, her first co-star Aftab and her love for all kinds of Chaats.
Aloo
Chaat
is
your
debut
film
in
Bollywood.
How
do
you
feel?
I
feel
great.
Before
I
started
doing
T.V.,
I
was
modeling
for
a
couple
of
years.
I
did
a
few
ads
and
music
videos
and
always
wanted
to
start
off
with
a
film.
But
one
fine
day
I
was
offered
a
T.V.
show,
'Kahin
To
Hoga',
the
script
of
which
was
so
good
that
I
simply
couldn't
refuse
it.
Today
I
am
proud
that
I
started
with
television
and
finally
here
I
am
doing
something
which
I
always
wanted
to
do.
So
it's
a
dream
come
true
for
me.
How
did
you
bag
the
film
and
what
made
you
say
yes?
Post
'Kahin
To
Hoga',
I
took
a
break
for
a
year
and
a
half
and
heard
a
lot
of
scripts.
I
actually
wanted
to
debut
with
an
out
and
out
romantic
film
but
when
I
heard
the
script
of
Aloo
Chaat
it
was
such
a
wonderful
script
with
clean
humour
that
I
didn't
think
twice.
I
am
glad
that
I
took
it
up
as
my
first
film
The
film
seems
like
a
romantic
comedy.
Can
you
elaborate?
Yes
Aloo
Chaat
is
a
light
hearted
romantic
comedy.
It's
a
very
sweet
film
with
some
really
chatpata
characters.
What's
your
role
in
the
film?
My
character's
name
is
Aamna
in
the
film.
She
is
a
Muslim
girl
who
is
born
and
raised
in
the
US.
Though
she
has
been
in
US,
her
values
are
very
much
Indian
which
is
why
when
she
first
comes
to
India,
she
is
seen
mostly
in
Indian
attire.
She
is
a
sweet,
fun
loving
and
family
oriented
girl.
How
was
it
working
with
Aftab,
your
first
co-star?
It
has
been
a
wonderful
experience.
Aftab
is
not
just
a
very
good
actor
but
a
very
good
human
being.
Initially
I
was
a
bit
nervous
as
Aftab
is
very
good
at
comedy
and
I
needed
to
match
his
timing
but
he
really
made
me
comfortable
and
we
really
hit
off.
We
even
share
the
same
Sun-Sign.
I
am
happy
that
people
are
liking
our
chemistry
The
film
also
has
Linda
Arsenio,
so
are
you
two
girls
vying
for
Aftab's
attention?
Is
it
a
love
triangle?
I
wouldn't
like
to
say
much
about
that.
You
need
to
watch
it
for
yourself
(laughs).
As
for
Linda,
all
I
can
say
is
that
she
is
a
complete
pleasure
to
work
with.
How
was
it
working
with
director
Robby
Grewal?
It
was
great.
Robby
is
new
age,
young
and
is
very
clear
with
what
he
wants.
He
is
the
kind
of
director
who
gives
you
complete
freedom
as
an
actor.
The
first
thing
that
comes
to
one's
mind
when
we
say
Aloo
Chaat
is
the
yummy
chaats
so
are
you
a
chaat
person?
I
am
a
complete
chaat
person.
I
love
all
kinds
of
chaats.
In
fact,
my
mom
keeps
telling
me
to
go
easy
on
chaats
(laughs)
but
I
enjoy
them
nevertheless
and
then
work
out
a
little
more.
My
all
time
favorite
chaat
is
Pani
Puri.
Coming
back
to
your
career,
now
that
you
have
made
your
debut
in
Bollywood,
is
it
good-bye
to
T.V.?
I
would
never
say
goodbye
to
television.
That
is
so
harsh.
Whatever
I
am
today
is
because
of
T.V.
so
I
would
never
make
such
a
statement.
All
I
would
say
is
I
like
to
concentrate
on
one
thing
at
a
time
and
right
now
I
am
focusing
on
doing
films.
How
similar
or
different
is
it
shooting
for
a
T.V.
serial
and
working
in
a
Bollywood
film?
The
big
difference
is
that
when
you
are
doing
T.V.
show,
you
don't
know
where
to
take
your
character
graph
and
which
track
the
serial
will
be
heading
in.
In
films,
you
have
the
script
ready
with
you
and
know
where
to
take
the
character.
Your
good-friend
Rajeev
Khandelwal
made
a
super
debut
last
year
with
Aamir.
Did
you
get
to
see
the
film?
Of
course
I
saw
the
film.
It's
a
lovely
film
and
Rajeev
is
brilliant.
You
need
a
lot
of
guts
to
take
such
a
film
for
your
debut
and
he
really
lived
up
to
all
expectations.
What
kind
of
roles
are
you
looking
at
doing
now?
I
don't
want
to
have
any
particular
mindset.
I
would
like
to
do
every
role
that
is
challenging
rather
than
go
with
easy
characters.
At
the
same
time,
I
would
love
to
do
a
hard
core
romantic
role
and
even
do
a
role
without
make-up
Any
dream
actors
and
directors
you
would
wish
to
work
with...
I
am
just
starting
out.
I
would
obviously
like
to
work
with
all
the
great
directors
and
actors.
I
have
always
admired
the
way
Aamir
Khan
has
worked
so
I
would
like
to
work
with
him.
What
are
your
future
projects?
I
have
signed
a
film
but
can't
talk
much
about
it.
Right
now
I
am
just
waiting
for
the
audience
reactions
to
Aloo
Chaat.
Finally
give
us
3
good
reasons
to
watch
Aloo
Chaat?
It's
a
very
well
directed
film,
has
some
brilliant
characters
and
is
a
really
sweet,
clean,
funny
film.
