You need guts to deal with controversies
Apr 16, 2008
Whether she likes it or not, she always in the news. The petite actress who made waves in the 1990s in Mumbai moviedom, subsequently flew off to become Heroine No. 1 in Tamil and Telugu cinema, returned to her Bandra home..and then became the rani of Bhojpuri movies.In her private life, she has been restless..a state aggravated by stories of her liaisons, reports of her blood ties to a business family.. and of late, she has been receiving threatening phone calls. Back South..there were rumours about a relationship with the already-married actor-MP Sharath Kumar. That didn’t culminate in a happy ending. She was back in Mumbai..her sister Jyothika stepped into her high heels in the south movies, Nagma joined politics, she was back on the hoardings of the booming Bhojpuri movies (which suffered a crash eventually), opened a boutique..and now aims to make a comeback in the city’s glitzy fantasy factory, fingers and toes crossed.<br /> Her life could make quite a novel or even a soap opera.. for starters, I ask:<br /> What is the police doing about those phone threats you kept receiving recently? The police have been extremely helpful, they’re leaving no stones unturned to solve the case..they have provided me with protection.<br /> It must be tough for a single woman..but are you single or not?<br /> I’m very much single. I’ve always been single..I’ve never married despite a thousand proposals. Anyway, let me tell you it’s not tough at all to be a single woman in this city. It’s all about how to conduct yourself..don’t hang out, don’t convey the wrong impression about yourself..and you’ll be allright.<br /> Have you recovered from your breakup with Ravi Kishen?<br /> (Agitated) I’ve said this a hundred times, and I’ll repeat this again. No, I’m not seeing Ravi. Can you imagine what his and my family must have gone through because of those stories of our affair.<br /> But you two did seem very close.All heroes and heroines are, especially if they do more than a dozen films together. You journalists are impossible..can’t you let a dead story remain dead?</p>
