ACTRESS AMRITA Arora and Usman Afzaal are soon going to be seen together —not in a film, but a television commercial. We met up with the cute couple on the sets. And when we asked Usman how he felt facing the camera for the first time, he told us,
"I'm going to just stand there and if I am required to smile, I'll assume that I've just scored a good 100. If I have to pose with Amu, I'll think she's a bat. But she's anything but a bat!". Excerpts from an interview:
Long distance relationships?
Amrita: are not easy, neither too difficult
Usman: survive on trust, no insecurities and a lot of respect for the other
Your lovey-dovey pet names?
Amrita: He calls me Puppy
Usman: She calls me chikna only because she thinks I've got good skin!
On a scale of 1 to 10
Amrita: I'd give him a 9/10 for his cricketing abilities. He plays a lovely game, but should focus more on his bowling. He plays a lot of County matches, and should make it to the England team soon.
Usman: I'd give her a 7/10 as an actress.
Worst habits
Amrita: He's too laid back. The sky could be falling, but he won't be moved.
Usman: She's too fidgety. But I find that kind of cute!
The sexiest actress/cricketer?
Amrita: Mitchell Johnson from Australia is the sexiest cricketer.
Usman: Aishwarya Rai is sexy. Also Malaika Arora Khan. Arbaaz is a lucky man.
Best Assets
Amrita: His sexy bedroom eyes
Usman: Her eyes, smile and hair
When someone ogles at your better half
Amrita: I take it as a compliment
Usman: There would be a problem if men didn't look at Amu. I'd wonder: Who the hell am I dating?!
The song you'd like to dedicate to each other
Amrita: Enrique's 'If I could be your hero baby' make that 'heroine baby'!
Usman: I am into R&B music but then the title of any song is going to sound so crude. Imagine if I said 'Get It On The Floor' So I'll stick to 'Stand by me'
Your first acting stint together
Amrita: has made me realise how tall Usman is.
Usman: has made me realise how easy the bat is. I'm most at home on the cricket field.
