Supermodel of the World when she was just 17 years old.

Personal Quotes (16)
Sexy in India, is not considered positive. But, with today's crop
of fresh faces, in the modeling arena, being sexy is an asset.
I think my first film will create an image, which I will
immediately try to break away from. I have a sexy, glamour doll image
which I want to get out of. But if nothing else works out, I shall cash
in on it. I don't have any dream role in mind, I want to try out
everything.
I actually wanted to be a doctor. But doing all those horrid rat
dissections made me faint. I studied science till the 12th standard and
later took up commerce. I was planning to do chartered accountancy, but
fate had something else in store for me.
"I am the boss in my life. I decide when to charge more and when
not to. I live in my own zone. I don't hurt anyone and I am very
transparent. I don't keep people hanging in life." (2005)
"I am doing pretty well for myself, and I am proud to be the
person I am. If people write that I am a mean person when it comes to
money, then let them write it!" (2005)
"Somebody cheated me when I was a young model. I had a bad
experience, and was running from court to court. So I understand what a
contract is. I sit with my lawyer and chartered accountant before
signing a contract. I learned very early in life how one gets cheated.
So I am very careful now when it comes to money issues." (2005)
"If a girl wears a shirt and a skirt, does she become more
sensuous? I think a girl in a sari is more sensuous than a girl in a
skirt. In my opinion, a wet sari is the most sensuous." (2005)
Every other girl is taking off her clothes just for the heck of it
and I don't want to be in that category. I can never be cheap or
vulgar.
Corporate
(2006) has been a great experience. Madhur is a very good director and
technician. I'm happy that a director like him who has worked with
Konkana and Tabu has cast me. Although it's a serious film, we shot it
like a fun film. I portray today's women in the film. My character
Nishigandha Dasgupta is tough, but at home she's simple and vulnerable.
The balance is the essence of the woman, which I think has come out
beautifully in the film. I hope every career-oriented woman will relate
to her. (Stardust magazine, July 2006)
"See, some time back I did films such as Madhoshi (2004) and Chehraa
(2005), both solo-heroine projects, but unfortunately it didn't work at
the box-office. And the reason I feel is that the makers didn't have
enough money to promote the film and all my hard work was wasted. I
realized then that it's better to work with established makers who have
the capacity to take the film right through till the end and who know
their job." (Stardust magazine, July 2006)
"I already have a dream man (John) but if I had to make a choice, I
wouldn't mind someone like Brad Pitt! I would like him to have
qualities like my father, very chilled-out, because I'm over sensitive
and hyper and I want someone who is very calm with a great sense of
humor. Someone who has energy like me, who can work the whole day and
party right through the night and have a blast without a bother, someone
who is very secure and confident of his woman." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"An unforgettable experience happened on December 15, 1996 when I
won the Supermodel contest while still in school. I was just seventeen
years old then. Winning that competition was the turning point of my
life. That's how I got into modeling and later started acting." (Movie
Mag, May 2006)
"For me chilling out is when I can stay at home, order food from
outside and watch a film with my friends. Listening to music and
watching films are my idea of perfect relaxation." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
When asked if she has become an expert in the comedy genre: "I
can't say that I've become an expert in comedy, but yes my confidence
level is certainly high post the success of the film [No Entery (2005)].
I've learned how to improvise in the genre. And by the time I do my
third or fourth comedy film, my ability to improvise would definitely be
much more. Then maybe you could say that I'm an expert." (Stardust
magazine, July 2006)
"I have always believed that if you need to take your clothes off
to get your man, you've begun to lose the battle. If you pull it off
right, you can do it in a very classy way...Being sexy is about
suggestion; it's about the tease. It's not about being obvious and
forcing yourself out in the open. That takes all the fun out of being a
woman." (March 2007)
Some will like me, some won't. For every Ameesha Patel there is a Rani Mukerji. I'd rather focus on Rani.
