She's a crossover girl in the true sense of the word. Natasha who is the Anjali in Kkavyanjali has been unobtrusively notching up success both on the small and big screens.

The model-turned-star is on a rollercoaster ride ever since she played the lead in Kabhie Souten Kabhie Saheli on Star Plus. So impressed was Ekta Kapoor that she signed her on for Kuch To Hai and Krishna Cottage. And though both films turned out to be box office duds, Natasha's star has been shining bright.

Besides her teleserial Kkavyanjali, she has more than half a dozen films lined up for the year, including Vashu Bhagnani's Silsiley, Tariq Anwar's Ek Se Bure Do, Balaji's Koi Aap Sa and a Tamil film Sukran.

More than films, it's the variety of roles that is making Bollywood take note. In Silsiley, she plays a bare-dare girl, in Ek Se Bure Do she does a comic cameo opposite Arshad Warsi and in Koi Aap Sa she pairs up with Aftab Shivdasani for a love story.

According to Natasha, "Being a successful model gave me a tremendous high. But what excites me is the variety of roles." A role model, no doubt.
