Anyone who saw Shanghai will know this actress means business. Scarlett Wilson of the Imported kamariya fame has come a long way from being part of commercials and feature films and is now making it big in tinsel town. In an exclusive with The Asian Age, the pretty actress-model talks about how she has enjoyed the Bollywood stint so far.
Preparing for the Kamariya role
Once I was finalised for the song, I started watching a lot of Bollywood dance numbers to get familiar with the dance moves and expressions. I love Aishwarya Rai and thoroughly followed her dance numbers. I also had four days of rehearsal with my choreographer to master the dance steps.
Dancing her way through...
Shooting for the number imported kamariya was a great experience. As I come from a dancing background, I wasn’t nervous at all. I love the dance moves and it's been great to be a part of this industry so far.
The big break
I am not sure who recommended me to Dibakar. I was called to do a few auditions and eventually was selected for the item number. I remember dancing on Katrina Kaif’s Sheila ki jawaani for the audition.
Being a fashionista
It’s been great working on ads with great actors in the industry. My favourite is Milano with Hrithik Roshan. I have definitely learnt a lot from this industry.
My success mantra
Work hard, don’t lose focus and never give up on your dreams..
The item number factor
I don’t have anything against item songs. I love them. In fact I just finished shooting for a song in Telugu movie Yevadu.
Future projects
You will next see me in the song from Yevadu, which has Ram Charan and Amy Jackson playing the lead.
