Bindu
Chowdhury,
perhaps
not
many
will
remembers
this
name.
However,
two
years
ago,
this
pretty
Bengali
babe
made
a
name
for
herself
by
winning
the
controversial
and
Ekta
Kapoor"s
first
reality
show
'Kaun
Jeetega
Bollywood
Ka
Ticket".
Naman
Shaw
was
her
partner
in
this
dance
reality
show.
As
the
title
suggested,
the
winning
jodi
was
to
be
cast
together
in
film
produced
by
Sunil
Shetty"s
Popkorn
Entertainment.
Unfortunately,
equation
between
Balaji
Telefilms
and
Popkorn
soured.
Low
TRPs
and
recession
has
forced
9X
to
shut
down
its
activities.
As
a
result,
poor
Bindu"s
dreams
were
shattered.
Naman
at
least
had
TV
to
look
up
to,
but
Bindu
had
to
settle
for
modeling
assignments.
This
long
wait
is
over
as
Bindu
has
finally
bagged
not
one
but
two
films.
The
first
one
is
a
low-budget
film
called
Bloody
D.
The
plot
is
similar
to
that
of
the
international
horror
flick
Saw.
The
other
film
is
directed
by
actress
Mandakani"s
husband.
Talking
about
the
two
films,
an
elated
Bindu
says,
“Bloody
D
stars
Aslam
Khan
(Nayee
Padosan
fame)
and
me
in
the
lead
role.
Aditya
Pancholi
plays
my
father
here.
This
is
a
psycho
thriller
loosely
inspired
by
Saw.
The
other
film
is
by
Mandakani
and
her
husband,
who
have
two
projects
–
The
Lost
Country
and
Hilsa.
I"ve
signed
for
the
latter.
Here
Naseeruddin
Shah
plays
my
father.
Shabana
Azmi
is
also
part
of
this
film".
(Azmi
was
a
judge
on
'Kaun
Jeetega
Bollywood
Ka
Ticket")
The
shoot
for
Bloody
D
is
taking
place
in
the
beautiful
locales
of
Jammu.
Shooting
in
woods
is
an
eerie
experience.
Chowdhury
has
a
spooky
tale
to
tell.
“One
fine
evening,
I
was
sitting
outside
my
cottage,
chatting
with
a
friend.
Suddenly,
I
saw
(presumably)
a
lady
clad
in
white
sari
zoom
into
my
room.
My
valuables
were
lying
on
the
bed.
I
rushed
into
my
room
but
there
was
no
one
inside.
We
keep
experiencing
such
things.
Some
girls
have
refused
to
shoot
at
the
spooky
spots.
I"m
board
all
by
myself
in
a
cottage.
We
often
shoot
at
night
thus
I"m
sleeping
during
day
time."
Two
years
is
a
long
wait
and
Bindu
had
to
go
through
frustrating
times.
Does
the
girl
hold
any
grudges
against
Balaji
Telefilms
or
Popkorn?
“No,
I"ve
never
let
such
thoughts
creep
into
my
mind.
I"ve
always
maintained
that
the
show
was
a
learning
curve
for
me.
Though
'Bollywood
Ka
Ticket" didn"t
help
me
in
getting
these
films,
it
served
as
added
advantage
as
I
wasn"t
required
to
audition
for
Bloody
D."
