There ‘Shree’ Goes… Article

Ekta Kapoor considers actor Wasna Ahmed as her lucky charm. Recently in Kolkata, Wasna appeared dressed

In a casual tte--tte with Kolkata Mirror, Wasna opened up about her take on relationships, her choice of men and much more.

Are you in a relationship? What according to you sustains a relationship?

No. I am concentrating totally on my career! According to me, trust is the one basic component of any successful relationship.

Sex is'

A bodily need'if one is ready for sex, they should go ahead and experience it. I don't see the reason behind the hullabaloo regarding premarital sex. If there is mutual consent between two people, then it should not be any one else's business. Moreover, the same way certain food items are required to keep us healthy, sex is also an act that is required to keep us healthy.

Your character Shree encounters ghost. Is Wasna a believer too?

Yes. If we can believe in God, why not believe in ghosts?

How much of Shree is Wasna?

While Shree is sweet, innocent and placid like me, I prefer to live life on my terms, something Shree is incapable of.

Your take on being Balaji's lucky mascot'

It is a burden. But it also coaxes me to work harder every day to ensure that I don't let anyone down'especially those who have expectations from me.

What do you look for in your dream man'

Shahrukh Khan'are you listening? (Laughs) I don't want perfection, rather a mixture of goodness, good looks and inner beauty. The attraction has to be more cerebral than physical!

The man behind your success is'

My brother-in-law. He supported me in my decision to become an actress and stood by me through thick and thin. I owe whatever I have achieved to him and his generosity.

How do you stay fit?

I don't get time to go to the gym. This is why I make sure that I stick to a healthy diet. This is again a big problem as I love to eat and I am a meat lover. After all, I hail from Kolkata, the city of foodies!

On a regular day, what does Wasna wear?

You will usually see me in my casual t-shirts and shorts and my face scrubbed clean of all make-up. After extensive schedules with my face caked with make-up, I prefer to relax and let my skin breathe.

Your Zodiac sign is'

My birthday is on August 13. I am a hard core Leo!

Have any pick-up lines worked on you?

Never. I don't like people easily and I easily get annoyed with people. So it is a little difficult to please me!

Do you think marriage is a necessity?

I feel people can totally do without marriage. However, I would love to experience marriage as it is a blessing to have someone to come home to and the feeling and assuredness of companionship.

One woman you wouldn't mind getting naughty with '

I don't look at women. I only look at men. (Winks) However, one woman I find amazingly attractive is Malini Sharma, the actress who played the ghost in 'Raaz'. I love her dusky complexion and curly locks.

The best and worst thing about men'

Best'yet to come by! Worst'too many to count! Let's just say WOMEN RULE!
