SCHEMING ACT: Souniya Kapur

Souniya Kapur, who made news as the much-married Himesh Reshammiya's real life love interest, will be seen as the scheming Menaka in the Sony show Jeete Hain Jiske Liiye.

"I play a former supermodel with shades of grey and on a mission to marry a rich man.

I try to cosy up to Aman (Ayub Khan) but then a wannabe male model blackmails me," says Souniya.

Apparently, she's even gone in for a makeover for this role.

"Viewers will see a dramatic change in my looks with permed hair, designer sarees and sexy blouses," says Kapur, who was last seen in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.

"This role was a dream come true because I've always wanted to work with Tony and Deeya Singh. I was also keen to work with Renuka Shahane," she says.

Persian film

Souniya also recently shot for a Persian movie called Panaah (Shelter), where she plays an Afghani girl. "It's in total contrast to the work I have done so far.

It's a realistic film based on incidents that took place during the Afghan war. I play a girl who gets separated from her lover during the war.

She then seeks refuge in India and is compelled to marry the man who shelters her," says Souniya, whose co-star is a Bulgarian actor called Asaad Sikandar.

As for her close 'friendship' with Reshammiya, Souniya is unperturbed by the fact that she's been excluded from his film Aap Ka Suroor — The Real Love Story. Recently, there were also rumours that she'd walked out of his camp after she wasn't asked to compere his concert in Mumbai.

Says Souniya, "It's true that I didn't compere Himesh's concert in Mumbai, but that was because I was shooting elsewhere.

As for his film, it never even occurred to me that I should be acting in it. And it's okay if he didn't ask me. We still continue to be friends minus any aashiqui (love). Whenever he next thinks of me, I'll be there."

cheers
