In
the
recent
past,
Aarti
Chhabria
has
done
a
number
of
films
where
she
has
been
a
part
of
an
ensemble
cast.
In
fact,
in
her
career
spanning
close
to
a
decade,
she
hasn't
done
too
many
solo
starrers.
At
the
beginning
of
her
career,
she
worked
in
a
multi
heroine
set
up
in
Awara
Paagal
Deewana
where
she
was
paired
opposite
Akshay
Kumar
and
played
an
NRI
'tapori'.
Later,
she
had
Govinda
for
company
in
Raja
Bhaiyya
where
she
played
an
insane
girl.
In
David
Dhawan's
Shaadi
No.
1,
she
played
a
glamorous
chic
girl
while
in
Shootout
At
Lokhandwala
she
was
seen
as
a
conservative
girl,
who
happened
to
be
a
bar
dancer.
Now
that
she
would
be
seen
as
a
solo
lead
in
Dus
Tola,
one
does
tend
to
believe
that
it
could
well
be
the
kick
start
of
a
new
beginning
for
Aarti.
You
are
playing
a
main
lead
opposite
Manoj
Bajpai
in
Dus
Tola.
Can
one
say
that
Aarti
is
pretty
much
looking
at
a
new
innings
from
here
on?
I
don't
really
know
why
people
say
so
every
time
I
do
a
film.
It
has
become
repetitive
actually
since
I
have
been
hearing
this
ever
since
I
did
Shootout
At
Lokhandwala.
Perhaps
because
Dus
Tola
has
me
in
a
solo
lead,
people
are
terming
this
as
a
'new
innings'
or
whatever.
See,
you
can
say
that
as
long
as
it
is
in
a
positive
sense.
I
won't
mind
that
since
response
to
my
altogether
different
look
and
presentation
in
Dus
Tola
has
been
quite
positive.
People
have
never
seen
me
in
this
avatar
so
of
course
I
am
very
nervous.
I
am
waiting
so
anxiously
for
the
film's
release.
In
the
film,
you
are
called
Suvarnalata
in
the
name.
Pretty
much
a
heavy
duty
name,
isn't
it?
(Laughs)
The
town
is
called
Sonapur,
the
girl
loves
'sona'
(gold)
and
her
name
is
Suvarnlata,
which
in
short
is
Sona.
Too
much
of
Sona,
right?
This
was
the
intent
though
since
the
film
is
being
told
as
a
folk
fare.
I
am
playing
the
lovely
role
of
a
girl
who
comes
from
a
small
town
which
has
its
own
simplicity.
My
father
is
an
astrologer
whose
only
dream
in
life
is
to
get
his
daughter
married
to
the
richest
man
in
the
world;
someone
who
stays
in
Dubai
and
sits
on
pots
of
-
as
you
guessed
it
right
-
gold!
Since
the
film
is
set
in
a
small
town,
how
did
you
shrug
away
your
urban
sensibilities?
To
begin
with,
I
had
to
work
a
lot
on
my
look.
Playing
a
small
town
girl
meant
that
I
couldn't
bring
in
a
hint
of
my
real
life
persona
of
a
chic
Mumbai
girl.
I
had
to
let
go
of
the
whole
gym
regime.
As
such,
I
am
very
conscious
about
my
gym
and
work
out
but
I
had
to
sacrifice
a
lot
here.
When
girls
out
there
are
going
for
size
zero,
I
actually
put
on
4-5
kgs
by
means
of
a
strict
rice
and
fish
diet.
I
had
to
go
through
this
whole
transformation
in
order
to
look
chubbier.
You
think
it
was
worth
it
after
all?
Being
in
the
industry
for
close
to
a
decade
now,
can
one
finally
say
that
you
have
got
your
due?
(Thinks)
I
don't
know
what
took
me
so
long
to
get
a
role
like
this.
I
was
waiting
for
an
opportunity
like
this
to
come
along
where
I
could
be
a
part
of
entertaining
yet
meaningful
cinema.
Of
course,
I
have
enjoyed
my
comedies
as
well;
they
have
taught
me
a
lot.
Still,
you
do
want
to
gain
experience
of
working
in
other
subjects
as
well.
May
be
it
was
just
the
right
time
for
me
to
get
Dus
Tola.
Now
I
can
use
my
past
experience
to
perform
better.
Meanwhile,
you
must
be
proud
of
the
fact
that
the
film
has
gained
the
attention
of
international
studios.
After
all
Dus
Tola
is
being
presented
by
Warner
Bros.
Oh
yes,
of
course,
this
is
indeed
huge.
I
am
so
happy
that
a
Hollywood
studio
has
shown
interest
in
our
film.
Them
picking
us
up
was
very
encouraging.
They
liked
what
they
saw,
whether
the
entire
film
or
specifically
the
music.
They
made
us
further
confident
about
our
product.
Now
we
wish
and
pray
that
the
film
performs
at
the
box
office
too.
I
know
there
is
quite
some
competition
but
we
are
the
best.
Those
who
will
watch
the
film
will
definitely
love
it;
I
am
confident
about
that.
