Gracy back in action

THE GIRL, who made her film debut as a village belle in Aamir Khan's Lagaan: Once Upon A Time In India and charmed film buffs with her endearing smile in Munnabhai M.B.B.S, is ready to shed that girl next door image.

And how! Actress Gracy Singh is now ready to pack a few power punches and doing some spine-chilling bike riding scenes in her forthcoming film Desh Drohi. A very excited Gracy tells that action genre gets her going these days, even as she denies reports about having slapped an assistant director.

On action traction: "I am high on action these days and really loving all those dhoom-dhadaam scenes and bike racing stunts. Although I hurt myself a couple of times, but I still carried on doggedly with those complicated fight sequences. I think people will like me in this new avatar."

On slap flap: "I am really amazed as to how all these silly rumours about me slapping an assistant director on the sets started. Do I look the kind who would physically abuse anyone? Why don't these guys write the scripts for the films? They will do really well!"

On communication gap: "This is not the first time my name has been involved in a controversy. Earlier too, some people had spread the rumours that I had left one of my shoots and come back from Dubai in a huff, leaving the entire unit high-and-dry! If that was true, my producers would have sued me. I think all these rumours are being spread because I don't have a full-time PR person. But now I am seriously looking for a PR guy, who can give the correct information to the media on my behalf."

On bare dare scenes: "I would not want to do anything that would embarrass me or my family or make me uncomfortable. Resorting to exposure for the sake of a role is not my cup of tea. For me, quality and content are more important than the number of films I do."

On fave dude: "I find Hrithik really hot! His looks, his physique, his dancing skills--everything is just perfect. But when it comes to my favourite star, nobody can beat Aamir Khan. I would love to tell my grandchildren that I had worked with him for a film like Lagaan It's an all-time classic!"

On love: "I believe in love, but there's nothing happening on the love front at the moment. These things are destined and happen at their own pace."
