Sonnalli's
Crush
"I
have
worked
with
Salman
in
a
Thumbs
Up
advertisement.
I
have
always
found
him
very
fascinating.
Of
course,
I
have
a
crush
on
him
like
any
other
girl.
He
is
a
wonderful
human
being.
I
have
interacted
with
him.
Of
course,
I
would
love
to
work
with
him."
Her
Memories
On
Working
With
Salman
For
An
Ad
"I
would
love
to
work
with
everybody
in
the
industry.
But
the
fact
that
when
I
did
the
Thumbs
Up
ad
with
him,
I
was
intimidated
about
working
with
a
superstar
like
him.
But
he
was
so
comfortable.
I
knew
Alvira
from
before.
So,
why
not,
when
it
comes
to
doing
a
film
with
him."
Beauty
Pageants
Ain't
An
Easy
Route
To
Films
"It's
a
wrong
perception
that
a
beauty
pageant
easily
lands
you
with
a
film
and
more
so
in
today's
world.
Earlier,
i
wouldn't
say
it
was
easier.
Of
course,
we
have
had
an
Aishwarya
Rai,
Sushmita
Sen,
Priyanka
Chopra,
Diya
Mirza,
Lara
Dutta.
But
it's
not
like
they
had
it
easy.
They
got
us
international
fame.
They
have
all
been
winners
of
international
pageants.
For
me,
my
goal
was
always
to
be
Miss
India
and
that's
why
I
had
come
to
Mumbai.
I
was
a
pageant
runner-up.
Of
course,
I
wasn't
flooded
with
film
offers
immediately.
Modelling
happened
to
me
which
was
like
a
stepping
stone.
This
was
followed
by
shows
and
TV,
ads
and
then
films.
That's
the
only
comfort.
But
at
the
end,
everyone
of
us
have
to
go
through
our
share
of
struggles.
Sonnalli
Is
Happy
About
Turning
Down
Few
Film
Offers
"I
can
be
very
diplomatic
and
tell
you
that
I
am
very
choosy
about
my
roles.
But
to
be
very
honest,
films
don't
happen
easily.
It's
a
very
hard
journey.
Of
course,
I
get
film
offers
but
some
of
them
don't
interest
me.
I
am
clear
in
my
head
about
what
I
don't
want
to
do.
Sometimes,
it's
scary
that
you
keep
refusing
films
meanwhile
years
pass
by.
I
just
hope
that
somewhere
I
can
convey
it
to
people
around
me-
actors
and
audiences
that
I
would
rather
do
a
small
10-15
minute
role
in
a
film
that
I
believe
in
with
great
actors
than
a
full-fledged
role
in
a
film
that
I
don't
believe
in.
Having
said
that,
I
have
nothing
against
glamorous
and
sexy.
I
cannot
reveal
the
names
but
I
feel
happy
about
rejecting
few
films."
The
Perception
Game
"I
am
greedy
when
it
comes
to
roles.
I
am
waiting
to
take
up
a
part
which
is
crazy.
A
lot
of
people
perceive
me
as
a
snooty
person.
I
hail
from
a
middle-class
family
in
Kolkata.
People
don't
know
that
I
am
pretty
crazy
in
my
head
and
am
quite
okay
being
that.
I
would
love
to
take
up
something
where
I
can
contribute
as
a
character.
I
would
love
to
take
up
wild
characters."
On
Actresses
Getting
Stereotyped
In
The
Film
Industry
"It's
very
easy
to
get
stereotyped
in
the
industry.
As
actors,
our
decisions
should
always
be
based
on
faith
and
not
out
of
fear.
Sometimes
we
are
scared
of
turning
down
a
film.
I
have
been
through
that
fear
for
three
years.
But
I
refused
take
a
decision
out
of
fear.
If
I
had
said
yes
to
those
films,
probably
Akarsh
Khurana
wouldn't
have
approached
me
for
a
film
like
High
Jack."
