When Brinda tickled SRK

Brinda Parekh and Shah Rukh Khan

Model Brinda Parekh is known as Bindaas Brinda to her friends. The otherwise bold Brinda, who is now seen in the Kaun Banega Crorepati music video, went weak in her knees when she got up close and personal with Shah Rukh Khan, when she had to tickle his ear with her lips.

Says Brinda, "It wasn't an easy shot for me. I was definitely very nervous. I still shudder when I think about it. I kept telling Mr Khan that my lipstick was leaving marks on his ears., but he was so cool. He even extended his hand when I was wearing my heels. He is a perfect gentleman."

Unforgettable

Brinda first got a call for doing the video from a model co-ordinator. She did not know the music video was meant for KBC. "I didn't know I was going to be working with Shah Rukh Khan. Only after I met the Red Chillies Entertainment people that I realised I was heading for an unforgettable moment in my life."

Talking about her experience with SRK, Parekh says, "He came and extended his hand, saying 'Hi, I am Shah Rukh'. I could not control my laughter. And again, when I bent down to wear my heels, he offered his hand to me. I didn't know whether to hold it or not, but I did. That will always remain in memory."

No to sidekicks

The model could have been a part of Madhur Bhadarkar's Traffic Signal too, but refused the film as the role wasn't meaty. "I have worked with Madhur in Corporate and enjoyed it a lot. The Traffic Signal role was good but not too long. At this point of time, I want to do substantial roles."

So what meaty roles are coming up? "Well, I am in advanced stages of talks for a film which stars Sunny Deol. That's a meaty role and I am looking forward to it," she says.

On date, Brinda is awaiting the release of Ek Se Bure Do starring Arshad Warsi, Anita Hassanandani and Rajpal Yadav, where she has done an item number. The film has been ready for at least 18 months now, but has not seen the light of day.
