It was surprising to see a glam actress like you as a lead in Risk?
Well, Vishram Sawant (director) was looking for someone who could deliver in three departments- oomph, dance and acting. There's this very colourful dance number Hichki picturised on me. Vishram met me and figured out that I would fit the bill.

How was it working with Vinod Khanna in Risk?
I had no scene with Vinodji, and hence didn't meet him even once on the set. The other day when I was shooting with Rahul Khanna for 'Raqeeb', he told me that how come I wasn't telling him that I had worked with his dad. I took a minute to connect with what he was saying. I wish I had at least one scene with Vinodji, it would have been my honour to share screen space with him. I had almost all my scenes with Randeep Hooda.

Randeep is not easy to befriend?
Well, he is polite and down to earth person. But yes, he keeps to himself and doesn't talk much.

You recently did a sizzling number in 'Bhagam Bhag'. How will you compare Randeep Hooda ('Risk') with Akshay Kumar and Govinda ('Bhagam Bhag')?
Personally, I haven't known anyone. But professionally all of them were very supportive of a new actress like me. They are very organised, conduct themselves with a lot of dignity, lot of honour and very, very hard working.

What are your forthcoming films?
Starting with 'Bhagam Bhag', then 'Risk', 'Good Boy Bad Boy', 'Rakeeb', 'Speed' and 'Dhol' with Priyan Sir.

Are you out of Abbas Mustan's 'Mr Fraud' (Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Bipasha Basu)?
Yes, I am not doing that film.

Why? You even shot for it, plus you did a mere song in Abbas Mustan's directorial '36, China Town' simply because they had promised you their next film?
You are partially right. I did 36, China Town for that reason. But I didn't shoot for 'Mr Fraud'. We parted ways about 15 days before I went on the set. When they finished the script, my character didn't turn out to be somebody who had much to do. Plus, Bipasha has a double role in that film. In fact, Abbas-Mustan themselves told me that they don't want to give me a raw deal. So, we had a long meeting and the outcome was that I was not doing the film. They was no animosity and I was told not to return the signing amount. Hopefully, we'll work together in future.

Were you disappointed?
Yes, I was. A film with Sanju and Ajay would have been an asset to my career.

Heard you had a traumatic experience in Bangkok when you went for a massage in a parlour?
Please don't remind me of that! We had a very hectic schedule and I was physically exhausted. I thought that a massage would freshen me up. That girl who gave me the massage was very tiny in frame but very, very strong. I almost passed out. I hurriedly paid and almost ran out of the parlour.

Your name has appeared in a Porn Escort Web Site.Your reaction..
It's very unfortunate. But there are so many websites who misuse pictures of actresses and women in media just to promote their web site for no rhyme and reason. I think the best solution that I could figure out is to send them a legal notice. I am talking to my legal advisors regarding them.

Which are your forthcoming films?
Harry Baweja's 'Speed', Raj Kanwar's 'Raqeeb', Subhash Ghai's 'Good Boy Bad Boy' and Priyadarshan's next.

You are back with Aditya Dutt (director of 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' which had you as the heroine) who had left you for Geeta Basra (heroine of his other film 'Dil Diya Hai')?
Aisa kuch bhi nahin hai. There have been too many speculations about me. Every now and then, I am being linked up with someone these days. I am still very much single. Personal life will come, but later. On date, I don't have time for it.

But you are back in touch with him?
Well, sometimes he gets busy with his work and other times, I get busy. There's nothing like we had disconnected.

Buzz is, he is signing you up for his next film?
We are going to work again, but I haven't signed anything with him yet.
