Amitabh sends Genelia a bouquet

Genelia D'Souza is basking in the glory of her first hit film.

The buzz is that she is being floored with offers from advertising companies, which want her to be the face of their products – thanks to her fresh looks. But, the grapevine has it that the actress is quoting an exorbitant price. But Genelia clarifies with it all, "I am still a newcomer and not in a position to quote a heavy price."

Meanwhile, the actress says that she shares a special bond with Amitabh Bachchan. "I was taken by surprise when I saw a beautiful bouquet waiting for me at home.

It was from Mr Bachchan, with a best wishes card attached to it. He was also there at the premiere of Jaane Tu... and wished me good luck. It is a great feeling to get such encouraging compliments from a person of his stature," says Genelia.

Genelia's confession

Genelia is a happy girl these days. Not only for her film's success but also for all the appreciation she has been getting from film-lovers and critics for her portrayal of Aditee aka Mau! 'Genelia overshadowed Imran in the film' was a common opinion and the young actress couldn't be happier!

"I am feeling fantastic! After Jaane Tu, people have rechristened me as Meeao or Aditi and that feels great. People recognize me as Aditi now! I am glad to know that the film has clicked with almost all kinds of audiences", says Genelia who is busy basking in the glory of her film of late.

You have tasted success today in Hindi films but your initial films didn't click! "Working in films was never my ultimate career option. I never expected much, also I took failures in my stride back then", comes a prompt reply.

Talking about success, do friends make for great lovers in real life as shown in her now successful film Jaane Tu? "If you have a close friend there is bound to be that attraction" says Genelia. That definitely prompts us to ask if she has felt the same for 'good friend' Ritesh? "Ritesh is a good friend and all the talks about our marriage are nothing but baseless rumours", says the young actress yet again denying her alleged linkup with Ritesh.

So what's next for Genelia? "I have 'Life Partner' which is an Abbas Mustan production, an untitled film with Harman Baweja which has been directed by Anees Bazmee.

So after working with Imran, she is now working with arch rival Harman! "(Smiles) both are extremely spontaneous actors, are intense and extremely focussed on their work. They are quite similar!" concludes she, trying to be at her diplomatic best!

Big B is close to Ritesh and Genelia might be Ritesh's girlfriend. Big B even hugged her at JTJM premiere. and now send her the flowers.

So I guess there is something between Ritesh adn Ge nelia

and omgg shes doing an abbas mustan film?..
