Bindas girl article

It's difficult to balance careers in television and films. Either you are too good for one or too bad for the other. But Balaji-find Natassha is one actress who has a hit serial running on the small screen and a forthcoming release on the big.

After flooring Ektaa Kapoor with her performance as the docile bahu in STAR's afternoon show, Kabhi Souten Kabhi Saheli, Natassha made her debut in Bollywood with the Balaji-backed Koi To Hai. While the I Know What You Did Last Summer rip-off couldn't garner her a hit, her other Balaji film Krishna Cottage gave her the hit charbuster Bindaas to gyrate to.

But it was the small screen where Natassha, who changed her name from Anita (another of those Ekta numerologies at work) scored again as the beautiful Anjali in Amrita Singh's comeback vehicle, STAR Plus's prime-time moneychurner, Kkavyanjali.

Having already made a name for herself in Tamil and Telugu films after her small-screen success, Natassha is all set to try her luck again in Bollywood.

With as many as three releases waiting to hit the screens, Natassha is hopeful of a better response after her horrific first outing in tinsel town. While Khalid Mohamed's Silsiilay is set to release in the coming weeks, Natassha also has a romantic comedy named Ek Se Bare Do and, of course, Ektaa's next big-screen project Koi Aapsa.

But first, all eyes should be on Wednesday night as Natassha performs at the STAR Parivaar awards. Her Anjali may trail behind Mona Vasu's Miilee in the voting for Favourite New Sadasya category, but if the practice sessions are anything to go by, Natassha should rock the starry, starry night.
