I don't have any boyfriend: Sonal Chauhan - Star Interview

Q. Please tell us about you…
A. I am basically from Agra but I was brought u in Delhi. Even my schooling was in Delhi. At present I am doing my graduation in Philosophy from Delhi University.

After winning the title of Miss World Tourism in 2005, I came to Mumbai. Reaching Mumbai I started modeling for brands like Nokia, Airtel and Diet Pepsi. At the same time I was chosen as the brand ambassador for Ponds.

My father is a police officer in UP and my mother is a homemaker.

Q. There are many faces that join the modeling industry but very few of them make their identity in this field. Where do you see yourself?
A. It’s tough for me to tell you anything about that as because this is my first film. I’ll try on making my own space in this industry. I am even ready to give extra time for getting my desired position in this industry.

Q. How did your family react to your decision of joining film industry?
A. They were really against me on my decision of joining modeling as because I am the only girl from my family to join it. Modeling and acting were very same to them.

Everybody is well aware of the gloomy side of this glamorous industry. They wanted me to be doctor or engineer. They thought that I am too immature to take such a decision. But when they saw that I can handle myself in this industry, they started supporting me.

Q. Are you dreaming of joining glamour industry since your childhood?
A. Truly speaking, I never cherished such a dream but whenever I came to see any image of model in any magazine, I felt attracted to them. And I knew that despite having a wish, I could not do that.

I always believe that there is a power that helps me deciding on every matter.

Q. You are from the world of modeling. Do you believe that reservation is required to switch in your career from modeling to acting?
A. My family also believed in the same theory. They also thought that for me it’s going to be very tough to become actress as I had none in the industry. That’s the reason they defied my decision.

I have never done anything against my family and neither will I do anything like that. I convinced them a lot and then came with my mother to take part in the Miss India contest.

Q. When your family was so against your modeling career then how come you took part in it?
A. I used to take part in few modeling assignments during my college days. My mother had no problem with that since she was okay with me enjoying my vacations.

Only my sister knew about my wish to become a model and she sent my photograph to the Miss India contest. It’s only after receiving a phone call from them that I realized the matter. But to attend the contest I had to work very hard in convincing my family.

Q. Do you have boyfriend?
A. Fortunately I am still single. To be very frank, I see a lot of engaged people around me and I know very well about the tough sides of those relationships. Keeping that suffering in mind, I think, better I stay alone.

Q. Do you believe in love at first sight?
A. Not at all. You may just start feeling attracted to someone with your first sight but falling for someone is absolutely impossible.

Q. Who was your first crush?
A. In my childhood, when I was in my second standard, I liked a boy. After growing up a bit I felt really affected with Shah Rukh Khan. I still feel that Shah Rukh is the most intelligent and charming man in this country.

Q. Have you ever gone through any training for acting?
A. Not till now but I will surely do that if required. I was learning Kathak for a few days but had to leave it as to start shooting for Jannat.

Q. Which does mean most to you – big banner or character?
A. Character, of course.

Q. The type of films you would love to do…
A. I just have started my career in films and it’s quite tough for me to decide on that. But one thing is for sure that I don’t want to appear on screen as just a glamour doll. I would love be part of arties provided, someone allows me a chance.

Angelina Jolie loves action roles and finds gunplay sexy

Angelina Jolie in a still from 'Wanted'.

June 17, 2008 (Celeb News) - She loves children and has achieved world fame for her humanitarian work with refugees, as Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, but on screen Jolie craves for violent action filled roles and finds gunplay sexy.

And when action sequences call for her to roll on the floor with a man, Jolie prefers her husband and Mr and Mrs Smith co-star, Brad Pitt, over any other man, but only generally speaking!

In an interview with MTV, to promote her new thriller Wanted, set to open on June 27, Jolie was asked why she chose to do another action film after Mr and Mrs Smith.

"I was itching to do something that was physical, because I had done some emotional films and I had been at home with the kids. I didn't know that there was anything original out there [until] I came across this script. "

When asked if physical roles will always be a part of her career, Jolie said:

"I think there's always going to be a side of me ... you know, as long as I can. Harrison [Ford] is doing it, and he's doing it well. It looks like I've got some more time."

Asked if there was something sexy about gunplay, Jolie, who admits to keeping firearms in her house to protect her brood, said:

"Yeah, I mean obviously there's a part of me that takes the world of violence and death very seriously. However, when it comes to protection or when it comes to just the skill of shooting ... I've gone to the range with sniper rifles and things like that. Brad and I both like it a lot. That is something we have in common."

Jolie says she is excited about the prospect of acting in Atlas Shrugged, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime film." She is less certain about Sin City 2, wondering how it could be made as good as the original.

Riya Sen - Once a leading lady now just an Sexy item Girl (Bollywood Actress) - Pictures

She was last seen as a leading lady way back in 2006 when she appeared opposite Shreyas Talpade in Apna Sapna Money Money. The film was a success but Riya Sen was in mood to get into a signing spree.

Waiting patiently for the right roles to come her way, the pretty young girl who has also been seen in successful films like Shaadi No. 1, Plan, Qayamat, Jhankaar Beats and last but not the least Style, has been keeping herself busy by being a part of item songs.

Her mini appearance amongst a horde of girls was definitely noticed as she burnt the dance floor in the sizzling title song from the film Heyy Babyy (2007).

The song turned out to be a chartbuster and Riya was noticed once again in spite of presence of a dozen odd sexy sirens like Celina Jaitley, Koena Mitra and Amisha Patel alongst others.

Now she has got a platform set for herself to make a further impression with the film Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein where she has got an entire item song shot exclusively on her.

Titled 'Sajan Mera', a number where Riya is seen in yet another sizzling avtar of hers, it also features the film's lead Sarwar Ahuja who appears to be all pensive and troubled as per the demand of the situation in the song.

Along with Sarwar, who had debuted with Khanna & Iyer last year, the film also stars Tabassum's grand daughter Khushi who would be making her debut as a leading lady. The film is produced by Rajesh Gupta and directed by Manish Goel.

Incidentally Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein was recently in news since the makers had gone on record to state that Riya wasn't cooperating with them for the promotion of the film.

Apparently Riya, who has a cameo role in Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein, felt that the makers only wanted to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film. This is why she was demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film.

Though there hasn't been an official word on this from Riya, the makers have made it clear that they won't bow down to her demands since the film's promotion was planned with an extremely tight budget due to Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein being a small-budget film.
