Amrita Rao – Time For An Interview

Amrita Rao – the Vivaah girl was caught with an interview. Her latest film Welcome To Sajjanpur is about to release this Friday.

After a sensitive cameo act in Shaurya, you are back doing a light-hearted film like Welcome to Sajjanpur… How does it feel?
I am super duper excited (laughs). Being a part of a Shyam Benegal movie was actually a high point for me when I first read the script. He is somebody who is liked and revered by everyone in my community. Then of course I happened to see Zubeidaa when I was studying and that is one film that I still count as one of my favorite films. So when Shyamji called me for this role, I didn’t ask him any questions and I just said yes to the film. Because, I so wanted to be on board under his direction.

Did you ever ask him why did he think of you for this role?
I did ask him and he said that he had seen me in Vivah and felt that I most appropriately suited the role in terms of look and age and all that he was looking for. So yes…I got lucky (laughs). Full News
