Tanushree Dutta has decided to keep away from a few things in life. “First on that list is Riya Sen,” she says. This comes as a consequence of the bitter controversy into which she feels she was unfairly dragged. Apparently Riya Sen had leaked a story to a newspaper about actor Koena Mitra undergoing plastic surgery, then blamed Tanushree for spreading the rumours.

“When I found my name dragged into an unnecessary controversy, I thought I had to take a firm stand for myself,” says Tanushree. “I am going to maintain a distance from her. Koena is my friend. Where’s the question of my spreading any rumours about her?” “I hate ontroversies,” she adds. “Yet, the more I try to keep away from them, the more I’m dragged into them. Like the time I changed my secretary earlier this year. It’s something every star does. But my secretary went to the press saying his dues were not paid…”

Meanwhile, Tanushree is at her slimmest best now, thanks to the physical training she is undergoing for Raj Kawar’s untitled film, where her character is complex, with many shades of grey. “I had put on a lot of weight around six months back for a South film I was doing. But now I’m back to my bikini figure!” she says.

Now that she has settled into Bollywood, will she draw the line at exposing, something that most actors do after they establish themselves? “No one has ever forced me to expose,” she says. “I have never done anything that looks indecent. Even if I wear something skimpy, because of the way I carry it, it will look stylish and sensuous and not vulgar. The bikini round in the Miss Universe contest has made me very comfortable with my body.”
