Model
turned
actor
Gauhar
Khan
is
on
cloud
nine
these
days.
Finally
she
is
paid
her
dues
for
the
kind
of
talent
she
possess.
She
has
been
roped
in
by
Yash
Raj
Films
for
the
film
Rocket
Singh-
Salesman
of
the
Year.
As
of
now
she
would
not
divulge
any
details
on
the
film,
but
still
she
shared
her
experience
of
being
a
part
of
YRF
films
in
an
interview.
How
was
the
experience
of
working
in
Rocket
Singh?
It
was
a
great
experience
working
with
a
Director
of
Shimit
Amin"s
caliber.
He
is
very
particular
about
the
cast
of
his
film,
and
if
he
has
showed
faith
in
me,
I
too
have
given
my
100
percent
to
it.
Ranbir
Kapoor
is
a
real
sweetheart.
He
is
very
down
to
earth.
In
fact,
everybody
on
the
sets
gelled
so
well
that
it
was
like
a
big
party.
As
I
was
among
the
few
girls
on
the
sets,
these
guys
would
gang-up
and
play
pranks
on
me,
but
it
was
fun.
Did
you
ever
foresee
working
with
YRF?
Yes,
in
my
dreams!
Now
my
belief
that
dreams
do
come
true
has
become
stronger.
I
was
offered
lot
of
films
during
my
Miss
India
days,
but
I
turned
down
all
of
them,
maybe
because
I
was
waiting
for
this
kind
of
beginning.
You
have
been
into
modeling,
VJ-ing;
have
done
reality
shows
and
now
films,
so
what
was
the
turning
point
in
your
career
according
to
you?
As
a
part
of
Miss
India
pageant
I
personally
got
groomed,
but
that
did
not
benefit
me
as
far
as
career
is
concerned.
As
a
VJ,
I
did
not
get
the
platform
to
showcase
my
talent.
But
when
Jhalak…
happened
to
me,
I
got
the
visibility
in
the
form
where
audience
could
connect
with
me
on
personal,
emotional
and
on
talent
level.
Did
you
expect
this
kind
of
trend
in
your
career
while
you
were
taking
up
Jhalak…?
No,
but
I
was
sure
of
the
visibility.
I
took
up
Jhalak
as
a
platform
where
I
can
perform
and
showcase
my
talent.
In
the
previous
season
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
was
looking
for
some
talent
for
his
film,
but
he
didn"t
pick
anyone.
I
must
say
I
am
destiny"s
child
that
I
got
noticed
on
the
show
and
got
short-listed
by
the
ace
production
house.
How
far
your
well-toned
model-like
body
helped
you
in
pulling
off
the
steps
gracefully
in
Jhalak…?
I
do
agree
flexibility
of
the
body
does
help,
but
dancing
is
just
not
about
body.
It"s
in
your
soul
and
flows
through
your
blood.
Even
a
trained
dancer
cannot
pull
off
the
dancing
steps
gracefully,
unless
he
is
passionate
about
it.
Do
you
think
finally
you
are
paid
your
dues
for
the
kind
of
talent
you
posses?
I
have
no
godfather
in
the
industry
and
if
today
I
am
part
of
such
a
big
film,
it
is
purely
on
the
basis
of
my
talent
and
I
am
proud
of
it.
What
kinds
of
roles
would
you
like
to
do?
I
am
fascinated
by
the
trend
of
realistic
cinema
where
situation,
character
and
acts
are
for
real.
I
would
also
love
to
do
running
around
the
trees
kind
of
commercial
films,
as
I
am
very
filmy
at
heart.
I
would
want
to
do
something
that
stays
with
people
even
after
the
film
is
over.
Any
film
if
remade,
you
would
want
to
be
a
part
of?
I
would
love
to
take
up
the
challenge
of
playing
the
role
of
Manisha
Koirala
in
Khamoshi.
I
would
have
also
liked
to
be
a
part
of
Imtiaz
Ali"s
not
Jab
We
Met,
but
Socha
Na
Tha.
If
old
Khubsoorat
is
remade
I
would
love
to
play
Rekha"s
character
and
definitely
a
classic
like
Mughal-e-Azam
is
always
desired.
Which
contemporary
actress
do
you
admire?
Konkona
Sen
Sharma
fits
in
the
broadened
arena
of
the
cinema
today.
She
has
touched
upon
the
gamut
of
roles
from
being
a
mother,
a
daughter
to
an
onscreen
wife.
Apart
from
Hindi
commercial
and
Art
cinema,
she
has
done
films
in
English
and
in
regional
languages.
I
wish
to
do
something
like
what
she
has
done.
Are
you
game
for
steamy
hot
scenes
for
a
good
role?
Though
I
come
from
a
modeling
background,
but
I
don"t
want
to
embarrass
my
family
when
they
go
to
watch
my
films.
They
are
use
to
my
bold
and
glamorous
attire,
but
I
personally
want
to
draw
lines
for
myself
while
taking
up
any
role.
Do
you
want
to
be
an
actor
or
a
star?
I
am
an
actor
who
wants
to
be
a
star!
Will
you
continue
to
be
a
model?
No.
I
have
done
a
crash
course
in
acting
and
that
broke
all
the
myths
that
I
harbored
about
acting,
and
so
now
I
feel
more
like
an
actor.
