What is your role in ‘Hattrick’?

I play a simple character who is suffering from a loveless marriage because her husband (Kunal Kapoor) is always watching cricket. To win his affection, she also joins him in his passion and guess what? She falls in love with cricketer Dhoni. That’s when the fun begins.

Do you like Dhoni in real life too?

Oh no, I love Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. They make India proud.

Are you a cricket buff?

Not really, I don’t follow the game. But I will be watching the World Cup because it happens once in four years and has a lot of hype around it.

What was most enjoyable about ‘Hattrcik’?

I enjoyed doing the video ‘Wicket Bachao’ where the entire cast-Danny Denzongappa, Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal, Kunal Kapoor, Harsha Bhogale was present. It was good fun catching up with them because we didn’t have many scenes together in the film. Danny, Nana sir and Paresh despite being our seniors were very friendly and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.

Comedy seems to be your forte

Oh, I love doing comedies. And I would never ever do a film which does not have a good director. I was keen on doing ‘Hattrick’ because I had seen Milan Luthria’s ‘Deewar’. In fact, after seeing the film, I called him up and told him that I wanted to work with him. It was only after a year that he called me. On hearing the narration, I jumped at the role.

What made you accept such a small role in ‘Dhoom 2’?

I will not do any more guest appearances in future because they are such a waste of time. I did ‘Dhoom 2’ only for Yash Raj as also the fact that I was a part of ‘Dhoom 1’. I would rather concentrate on full-fledged roles like in my forthcoming films ‘Betaabi’ with Ritesh Deshmukh and ‘Johny Devdas’ with singer Nitin Mukesh’s son Neel Mukesh.
