No films, no problem:Udita

With no film projects in hand, Udita Goswami has ditched the most diplomatic statement of the filmy world — ‘There are projects in the pipeline but I’ll speak about them when the time is right’.

She’d rather say that she isn’t working in films, as she is busy earning money. “I am too smart. I have too much pride — I can’t stand people laughing at me after they watch me in a role that doesn’t suit me. It really makes no sense. I’m content with the numerous stage shows, performances and appearances that are coming my way,” says the actress.

But, with no films in her kitty, doesn’t she feel insecure about her career? “Not at all. I’ve been given only negative shades to play post my debut in Paap. I have certain things that others don’t have and I’m glad I’m revelling in just them,” she says. And, what are they? “My looks. I can’t help but look sexy all the time. I don’t look Indian and I’m not cut out for those kind of roles. For instance, I don’t see myself playing a housewife,” she answers.

Ask her about beau, director Mohit Suri, and she says, “We are living life for now. Mohit tells me that I’m quite the opposite of the ‘sexy cool chick’ image that I exude. He’s surprised to see me bargaining even for Rs 50 at times. Actually, we are just bacchas — I am 24, while he is 26 — having fun together,” she laughs.
