Aashka-Amit not an item?
Romantic link-ups on the sets is a common occurrence in the industry. Another one to have hit the board is Aashka Goradia and Amit Sareen who were supposedly seen getting too cosy at a party together.
But alas, our hopes were dampened when we contacted the actress. "Are you mad? Amit is 10 years older to me and he's already engaged. I would not even dream of going out with him. He is only a friend and a good co-actor," said Aashka. The actress also confessed she was seeing someone from outside the industry but ask her to quell our curiosity and she only keeps us waiting!
Shweta has high ambitions
Shweta Keswani owes her name-n-fame to the television industry. But, the actress seems saturated with the small screen. Talking about her role in The Memsahib, the glamorous telly gal avers, "I play a Kathiawadi princess in the movie and for the first time, you will not see me in a sexy look. I am tired of being offered the same roles on television. I want to act in good movies. I adore filmmakers like Nagesh Kukunoor, Sudhir Mishra and Shyam Benegal."
Well, isn't that too much, too soon?
