TANISHAA GETS SULTRY

Having struggled with a few films, the last couple of them being Tango Charlie and the recent Sarkar, Tanishaa can finally hope some firework from Neal n Nikki — primarily because Yash Raj banner is known to resurrect careers.

A tête-à-tête with the actress:

This is one question, which is inevitably obvious — how have you managed to change your looks?

The reason for changing the look was that we wanted a certain kind of image for this girl in Neal n Nikki. We wanted people to notice me and that's what is happening. Even I was trying to angle for a new image, which I am glad happened with such a nice film.

But haven't you lost weight?

Of course, I have worked very hard in the gym. For months, I maintained a strict diet. Also, it helped because I am young now. May be five years later, I wouldn't have achieved what I did in a couple of months.

How have your sister and mother reacted to your new look?

They are extremely happy. Mom loved it. She said that I haven't looked this better before. But she is a mom and so it is expected of her to say good things about me. As a matter of fact, my family has always been supportive. I am very close to my sister too and we are a tight-knit family.

Will Neal n Nikki revive your career?

That depends purely on the response. On my part, all I can hope is that I haven't let down the Yash Raj banner. They are great people to work with.

Didn't the film happen by surprise?

It did. I just got a call one day and an audition later, I was in. Also, I loved the name Nikki. That's a nice name, isn't it?

Even Kajol is making a comeback with Fanaah.

That's a mere coincidence. She is one of the finest actresses we have today. She had to comeback. There was no choice. I think we would have lost a great actress if she had chosen not to work. But she doesn't want to leave her child (Nysa). I think she should be appreciated for managing both home and work now.

Will we ever see Kajol and you working together?

I would be very happy if someone casts us (laughs) but I am sure that the project will have to be special because Kajol is a perfectionist and she needs nothing but the best.
