Radio
arrives
in
a
couple
of
days
from
now
and
along
with
Shenaz
Treasuryvala,
Sonal
Sehgal
is
one
of
the
two
leading
ladies
opposite
Himesh
Reshammiya.
In
a
conversation
with
us,
Sonal
is
happy
to
declare
that
Radio
is
a
film
made
mainly
for
class
audience,
how
she
can
very
much
relate
to
the
subject
of
the
film
and
whether
the
film
actually
goes
on
to
narrate
ground
reality.
Looking
at
the
storyline
of
Radio,
it
seems
to
be
pretty
much
exploring
the
complexities
in
today's
relationships.
Is
that
true?
Absolutely.
In
fact
I
see
something
like
this
happening
all
around
with
me
with
my
friends.
When
the
film's
script
came
to
me,
I
was
like
'wow,
finally
there
is
somebody
who
is
making
a
film
like
this'.
The
film
makes
a
statement
that
'Wake
up
guys,
smell
the
coffee'.
Radio
comes
with
the
kind
of
subject
that
everybody
is
waiting
for.
Something
like
this
has
never
happened
in
Bollywood.
It
tells
people
to
take
a
real
look
into
relationships.
How
much
do
you
actually
relate
to
the
film's
subject?
Very
much.
In
the
film,
my
character
Pooja
gets
divorced
with
Vivaan
(Himesh
Reshammiya).
But
still,
there
is
no
love
lost.
They
are
still
friends.
In
today's
relationships,
there
isn't
anything
black
and
white,
well,
unless
you
have
been
a
part
of
some
really
dirty
break
up.
Nobody
centres
his/her
life
around
love
any
more.
Relationships
have
become
like
a
habit.
It's
not
like
after
a
break
up,
you
never
see
that
person's
face
again.
It's
not
that
hardcore.
It
happens
that
two
months
after
a
break
up,
you
feel
a
little
low
and
instinctively
call
up
your
ex-girlfriend
or
boyfriend
because
that's
a
person
you
have
actually
shared
quite
some
time
with.
The
intention
is
not
to
get
back
to
that
person.
It's
just
that
this
person
has
also
been
a
friend
for
such
a
long
time
and
it
takes
time
for
a
relationship
to
fade
away.
Himesh
says
that
unlike
his
previous
two
films
that
were
targeted
at
masses,
this
one
is
a
complete
class
affair.
Do
you
agree?
Of
course
Radio
is
a
classy
affair.
See,
Radio
is
a
contemporary
enough
subject
and
the
luxury
of
such
a
relationship,
as
evident
in
the
film,
is
for
classes.
Look
at
masses;
for
them
it's
primarily
about
meeting
ends.
On
the
other
hand,
Radio
is
about
complications,
social
networking
sites
etc.
In
fact,
masses
may
not
really
understand
what
we
are
discussing
here.
This
is
something
that
we
have
been
very
clear
about
even
during
our
entire
promotion
because
we
didn't
want
to
give
a
wrong
impression
to
people.
Perhaps
my
cook
may
come
to
me
tomorrow
and
say
that
'Ma'm,
hamein
to
samajh
hi
nahi
aaya
ki
picture
kya
thi'.
I
am
prepared
for
that
because
the
movie
is
mainly
for
classes.
Radio
is
a
two
heroine
setup
with
Shenaz
as
well.
Like
any
other
leading
lady,
even
you
would
have
wanted
to
ensure
that
you
both
get
even
footage,
right?
See,
both
of
us
have
really
well
etched
out
characters
due
to
which
none
of
us
are
counting
our
minutes
on
screen.
One
has
to
be
mainly
worried
about
whether
your
character
is
sound
enough
or
not.
Since
it
is,
I
didn't
feel
insecure
at
all.
This
is
why
there
was
no
competition.
If
anyone
of
us
had
to
think
so,
then
first
and
foremost
we
should
have
worried
about
Himesh
as
a
competition.
Everybody
has
his
own
place
and
each
one
works
because
of
other.
But
when
two
good
looking
women
come
together,
there
is
bound
to
be
some
competition?
Aah,
you
are
hell
bent
on
creating
a
war
here
(laughs).
When
I
say
there
was
nothing
wrong
between
Shenaz
and
me,
it's
a
fact.
You
may
question
on
our
dressing
style
and
all.
Perhaps
one
can
even
sit
and
fight
that
why
are
my
clothes
different
from
hers.
But
then
look
at
it
this
way,
my
character
is
mostly
seen
in
the
house
while
Shenaz
is
in
a
radio
station.
So
obviously
I
would
be
in
my
tank
tops
and
shorts
while
she
would
be
more
dressed
up.
(Smiles)
I
can't
fight
with
the
director
that
why
have
you
given
her
a
pretty
dress.
One
has
to
think
logically.
Talking
about
dressing
up,
the
current
crop
of
females
is
quite
uninhibited
when
it
comes
to
skin
show.
In
fact
it
has
almost
become
a
part
of
an
actress
profile.
Any
boundaries
that
you
have
set
for
yourself?
For
me,
it
is
not
about
skin
show
but
wearing
something
in
which
I
am
comfortable
enough.
Take
for
example
Katrina
Kaif,
she
has
not
worn
a
bikini
till
date
but
she
does
wear
shorts.
Look
at
the
kind
of
impression
that
she
has
managed
to
make
over
last
few
years.
The
ground
reality
is
that
people
in
big
cities
do
wear
tank
tops
and
shorts
so
it's
not
a
big
deal
at
all.
Other
than
Radio,
you
also
play
the
main
lead
in
Nagesh
Kukunoor's
Aashayein
(with
John
Abraham).
Didn't
you
ever
feel
like
beginning
with
a
conventional
love
story?
When
you
are
not
a
star
child
and
don't
come
from
a
filmy
family,
you
don't
really
sit
down
and
decide
on
what
you
pick
and
choose
from.
Having
said
that,
I
have
been
a
huge
fan
of
Nagesh
Kukunoor
right
from
his
first
film
so
Aashayein
was
indeed
a
good
beginning.
Of
course,
God
always
has
a
better
plan
and
after
Radio,
I
am
sure
there
would
be
many
more
positive
outings.
One
can't
deny
the
fact
though
that
Radio
has
too
much
of
competition
around.
The
film
follows
De
Dana
Dan,
comes
along
with
Paa
and
is
followed
by
Rocket
Singh
-
Salesman
Of
The
Year.
Well,
in
that
case,
all
the
best
to
all
of
us
(laughs).
I
am
sure
there
are
enough
people
out
there
who
want
to
catch
different
kind
of
cinema.
Other
than
that,
'kismat'
is
something
that
no
one
can
fight
and
compete
with,
so
why
worry?
Let's
wait,
watch
and
hope
for
the
best!
