"I do not regret anything"- Aarti Chhabria
Aarti Chhabria is raring for the double whammy with the release of her two multi-starrer film on the same Friday this month. But she is head over heels in love with her character in the film “Toss". She goes ga-ga in the praise of her film and particularly her character in a candid interview with us.
How
would
you
describe
the
film
in
your
own
words?
It"s
unfair
for
me
to
put
it
in
some
genre.
It"s
a
mix
of
everything.
In
fact
after
watching
the
film
people
would
say
that
they
want
to
make
a
film
of
“Toss" genre.
It
is
very
fast-paced
film
that
will
keep
you
on
the
edge
of
your
seat.
It
is
the
story
of
six
friends
who
are
coming
back
from
a
holiday,
and
a
huge
steel
trunk
stumbles
upon
them.
Thing
that
is
inside
the
steel
case
would
change
their
entire
life,
their
relationships
and
also
their
perspectives
towards
life.
You
are
one
among
those
six
friends,
so
how
is
your
character
exclusive?
I
am
playing
a
Goan
girl
Sasha
who
sings
in
cruises.
She
is
very
impulsive
and
would
not
regret
for
anything
she
does.
You
can
either
love
her,
or
hate
her,
but
no
in-between
feeling
for
her.
She
is
an
extremist
and
quick
decision
maker.
All
I
would
say
is
that
she
is
a
volcanic
mix
of
sensuality
and
intelligence.
I
got
a
very
nice
song
in
the
film
Abbey
saale…that"s
the
surprise
package
in
the
film.
How
was
the
experience
of
doing
such
an
extremist
role?
Firstly,
it
was
difficult
for
me
to
understand
the
character.
I
had
to
psyche
myself
to
suppress
Aarti,
and
bring
out
Sasha.
I
have
never
given
so
many
takes
in
my
life,
which
I
took
for
this
role.
Even
throughout
the
dubbing
process
they
would
grill
me,
and
I
would
almost
lose
my
voice.
Why
as
an
actor
playing
this
role
was
tough
for
you?
As
an
actor
by
default
we
are
very
expressive,
though
not
needed
at
times.
To
play
Sasha,
I
had
to
deliver
heavy
dialogues
with
blank
expression.
I
am
very
different
from
this
character,
as
I
am
a
very
simple
person.
I
am
quite
predictable,
but
Sasha
is
unpredictably
unpredictable.
One
would
never
know
how
she
would
react,
at
any
given
situation.
You
said
you
took
several
retakes
to
attain
OK,
which
scene
in
the
film
really
gave
you
the
toughest
time?
As
“Sasha"
I
had
to
deliver
very
astute
dialogues,
keeping
a
poker
face.
But
most
of
the
times
expression
would
come
on
my
face.
There
was
the
scene
when
the
gang
of
friends
are
arguing
at
some
issue,
it"s
kind
of
repartee
going
on
where
she
has
to
speak
only
once
with
no
expression,
mildly
but
with
lot
of
certainty.
It
was
difficult
for
me
to
hold
my
own.
You
have
been
in
the
industry
for
seven
long
years
and
have
worked
with
a
gamut
of
directors,
how
was
it
working
with
debutant
director
Ramesh
Khatkar?
At
this
juncture
of
my
career,
I
should
have
been
working
with
big
directors,
in
fact
I
have,
but
we
should
not
underestimate
the
new
generation-directors.
Films
like
13
B,
A
Wednesday,
Pyar
Ke
Side
Effects
are
the
few
films
that
are
made
by
first
timers.
About
Rameshji-
he
is
very
clear
on
what
he
wants
out
of
his
artiste.
He
is
a
taskmaster.
He
would
not
hesitate
to
even
ask
veterans
of
the
industry
to
delivery
what
he
wants.
It
was
a
great
learning
experience
with
him.
The
Film
is
a
tussle
between
money
and
relationship,
how
do
you
look
at
it
personally?
No
one
would
want
to
rate
relationship
under
money,
but
our
film
talks
about
how
money
outdoes
emotions.
In
one
of
the
songs,
money
is
personified,
and
it
narrates
its
journey.
Money
is
dangerous,
as
it
can
make
or
break,
twist
and
turn
any
relationship.
Let"s
face
it;
we
have
all
become
a
hand
puppet
of
Rupaiyaah.
What
have
you
carried
home
after
doing
and
then
watching
this
film
as
an
audience?
It"s
a
must-watch
film.
There
is
no
drama
or
make-believe
characters
in
it.
In
a
given
situation,
each
character
would
react
according
to
what
their
logic
dictates.
It
gives
a
new
perspective
on
life
to
its
audience,
as
it
has
the
practical
approach
towards
reality.
