SRK KAJOL CC 13 [Strictly IO] - Page 47

I thought Mohabbatein was a beautiful movie

For me, his worst movies would be HTHS, devdas, EBDM, Guddu.. bas baki i like all movies of his if I remember correctly😆 Did not like HNY much but not really worst of his.. JTHJ I hated first part but second part made up for it barring re entry of Kat😆

You are the best and we love u @iamsrk

Except HTHS I haven't watched any of those 4. Tried to watch Devdas but that's not my cup of tea. I enjoyed reading the novel but this kind of film doesn't attract me.

In Bollywood, for a long time, women in their 30s were considered past their prime and weren't offered the best roles. That is, of course, well in the past, with actresses like Kajol and Kareena Kapoor breaking this mould and doing some of their best roles at later points of their career. And now we have Waluscha de Sousa, who played SRK's wife in Fan, making her debut at the age of 33. On the sidelines of the convocation of International Institute for Fashion Design, Chennai, the model-turned-actress speaks about the experience, the shift from modelling to acting, her fidgety' nature as a student and of course, SRK. Excerpts:..

How did you bag the role?

I happened to meet my casting director Shanu Sharma for coffee, and she spoke to me for about five minutes and said she had a role I might fit in. She got me to meet the director Maneesh Sharma. Of course, I had no idea it was a YRF film, or that it was a Shah Rukh Khan starrer. So I just met Maneesh and we got chatting and he offered me the role. It was sort of meant to happen and I just keep telling myself that I got very lucky.

What was it like working in your first film?

It was a set where there are 400 odd people, a camera pointing straight at you and people who've been in the business for a very long time. Of course, I was very nervous.

How was Shah Rukh Khan?

The minute I got on to the set, Shah Rukh made me feel relaxed. It was an educational experience. We all know he's very passionate about the craft, and works really very hard.

What were you like as a student?

I was a very creative student, whether it was acting, dancing, singing, sport or art. You could very rarely see me in a classroom; I was always very fidgety from very early on.

You were a model before, what do you enjoy more, modelling or acting?

There was a point when I enjoyed modelling, and today I'm in a space where I completely enjoy acting. I love where I am right now and I love everything about it - the whole process of being on the set, the film getting edited and everything else.

Is the modelling industry a nice place to work?

Sure it is, if that's what you are passionate about and it really drives you, because it is a lot of work. You need to look after your body, eat right, work out, stay in shape. It's a responsibility - trying to wear someone's garment and make it come alive on the ramp.

Your favourite director?

It has to be Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I have watched all his films and I think I have watched Devdas about 15 times already.

Modelling Days

Waluscha modeled for leading designers in the country and took part in the Miss India Pageant where she secured the Miss Body Beautiful' title. She did her first TV commercial for Pepsi with Shah Rukh Khan at the age of 17

Recently, she had a surprise visitor on the sets of Brahmo tsavam, in which, she essays the mother of Kajal Agarwal.

Thulasi who started her career as a child artiste in Sankarabharanam, went on to act with the likes of Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan and Karthik. The talented actress, who quit acting post her wedding, returned to the big screen a few years later as she gave her nod for a mother role in Kannada film Excuse Me, which was a big hit. Ever since, she has become a sought after maternal figure in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.

Recently, she had a surprise visitor on the sets of Brahmo tsavam, in which, she essays the mother of Kajal Agarwal. And the visitor was none other than Shah Rukh Khan, who gave a pleasant shock to those who were working on the sets.

Close sources said he was heaping laurels on Thulasi's performance and even took a selfie with the Pannayaarum Padminiyum actress.
