When she made her debut with one of the biggest stars of Bollywood today, she was referred to as the cutest actress' Bollywood had ever seen. The cute image slowly gave way to the sexy' tag as this girl started climbing the ladder of success.
She was also involved in some of the most widely discussed scandals, which surely rocked her boat.
Overall, the actress had a fulfilling career and typically she has reached a stage when she should either settle down or rediscover her career.
But this actress is about to make the cardinal mistake " produce a big-budget movie with her in the lead at a time when she has already been replaced by other heroines in the film industry.
Instead of taking a U-turn, this actress is on a high-speed track in a blind lane.
Some say that the money she is putting into the film is not her own but that of an industrialist who is supporting her. They also say that the cash is merely routed through her production house by the ghost producer. Whatever be the fact, the film is mounted on a lavish scale and will be released next year.
Her friends in the industry have already advised her not to go ahead with the film because of the tepid response it has got from the industry. But our girl seems determined to launch the film that will showcase her acting talents.'
Some of her friends have also told her about a recent case where an actress lost a lot of money because the film she produced with her in the lead, tanked at the box office. But somehow she seems determined to prove all her detractors wrong.
Just to get a peek into what is going on in this actress' head, I will tell you an incident that a friend of mine witnessed first-hand.
I am a princess. How can you stop a princess!'
This incident happened at a reputed International film festival earlier this year when the actress landed up at one of the venues uninvited.
Her name was not on the list. So when the actress tried to take the red carpet with her female companion, she was stopped by the security guards who demanded that she show her pass.
This is the conversation that followed.
"""""""""""""""""""""-
Madam, can I see your invitation card?
My name is ... (says her name loudly). I am an Indian princess.
Very well Ma'am. But I need to see your pass before I let you walk on the red carpet.
I don't need a pass. Indian princesses don't need passes. Can't you recognise who I am?
No Ma'am. I am very sorry but I cannot let you in without the invitation. We are under strict instructions.
But I am on the invitee list. Please check your VIP list and you might come across my name. My name is ... (again says her name loudly).
Ma'am, can you please step aside and let others enter. (In a stern voice) Your cooperation will be much appreciated.
How dare you talk to a princess like that? (At the top of her voice) I am going to make sure you are out of your job. This is not the way to talk to a princess.
(A few minutes later, the actress makes way for other guests. She is eventually not allowed inside the venue. She fumes and takes it out on another organiser from her hotel room).
