AMNA SHARIF------article

tall call: Aamna Shariff

She may be the prettiest face on television, but talk to Aamna Shariff about heights and the actress will be anything but cute with you!

Until recently, Aamna suffered from an acute fear of heights but one stage performance has vanquished that phobia.

Recently, Aamna performed at a television award show and was required to do a free fall from a 15-foot high tower.

Surprise!

Recalling the performance, she says, "I love performing on stage, but when I heard that I was to be elevated to 15 feet on a platform, I wasn't too excited.

In fact, everyone who knew I had vertigo would say that I wouldn't be able to do the jump during rehearsals."

However, on the night of the performance, Aamna surprised not only others but herself as well. "I was standing on top of the platform and waving to the crowd.

After that, I had to turn and fall with my back to the ground. Of course, there were people below who would catch me, but it was quite scary looking down from where I was standing."

Without wasting too much time, Aamna decided to go ahead with the free fall. "I closed my eyes and went ahead with the fall. It happened within seconds and I didn't even realise that the jump was over," she says, relieved.

Idle gossip

After this daredevil act, Aamna says she's now ready to climb any tower. "I think this stunt has finally rid me of vertigo. I feel I won't be that stressed the next time I go on top of a tall building."

On the work front, the actress denies she's going to be a part of a new Sony project with Cezanne Khan. "I have never confirmed this news.

There are loads of projects that come to me, but that doesn't mean I have signed all of them."

These days she's busy travelling around the country doing shows. However, one place she's really looking forward to visiting, is London. "My aunt and a few other relatives stay there and I haven't seen them in a really long time.

I am planning to make a short trip to London this month, but haven't figured out when."

sorry if posted before.
