| Voluptuous NRI model-actress Sasha, who has returned to the city after a long break, is emerging the centre of distraction at showbiz parties and even at the recent starry Zinda premiere.
It's her Mallika-style plunging neckline that has the cameras zooming on to her. In her defence she says, " I am not a fresh wannabe. I've already acted as the parallel lead with co-stars Aseem Merchant and Iqbal Khan in this Hindi crime-thriller Bullet. In the movie, I played an undercover spy on a secret mission.
Even though 'twas a bitchy role, I was 'fully-clad' in the movie. So even those who have seen the movie, take a while, to recognise me off-screen." Darling, all those who've seen the movie…that isn't a very long list... neither is all those who've heard of the film.
