Model-turned-actress
Lisa
Haydon,
who
does
not
wish
to
be
tagged
as
"hot",
says
her
performance
in
Queen
has
helped
people
to
pay
attention
to
her
acting
acumen.
"Before
Queen,
people
perceived
me
(just)
as
a
model.
I
worked
very
hard
to
prove
myself
as
a
good
actor.
I
needed
the
right
opportunity,
and
now
I
feel
people
have
started
taking
me
seriously
as
an
actress
and
have
started
paying
attention
to
my
talent," Lisa
said
here.
The
actress
feels
there
has
been
an
image
change
for
her
after
Queen.
"I
don't
want
to
be
termed
as
'hot'.
It
was
getting
offensive
after
a
point.
Who
wants
to
be
hot,"
she
asked
while
breaking
into
guffaws.
However,
Lisa
feels
that
after
Queen,
in
which
she
played
Vijayalakshmi
-
an
independent,
fun-loving
and
modern
girl
who
befriends
Kangana
Ranaut's
character
-
she
is
"getting
stuck
with
the
'bohemian
free-spirit' image".
Lisa
admits
"it
is
so
much
better
than
hot",
but
is
clear
that
she
doesn't
want
to
get
"stuck
with
any
image".
The
actress's
new
film
is
The
Shaukeens.
Talking
about
the
movie
and
her
character,
Lisa
said,
"In
my
opinion,
my
The
Shaukeens
character
Ahana
is
not
hot.
Vijayalakshmi
(from
Queen)
is
hotter
than
Ahana
though
she
does
not
do
anything
to
be
hot
-
she
burps,
she
snores,
and
has
an
'I
don't
give
a
damn'
attitude
which
appeals
to
people.
Ahana,
on
the
other
hand,
is
a
very
innocent
and
naive
girl."
Directed
by
Abhishek
Sharma,
The
Shaukeens
features
Annu
Kapoor,
Anupam
Kher
and
Piyush
Mishra.
"The
three
men
have
never
met
a
girl
like
her
and
they
think
she
is
a
streetsmart
girl
because
she
is
very
open
about
everything.
The
men
think
she
likes
them,
but
for
her,
they
are
paternal
figures," Lisa
said.
