Nothing wrong with skin show: Anupama Varma (INTERVIEW)
By Arpana, Indo-Asian News Service

New Delhi, Sep 4 (IANS) She was one of the top models in the country but failed to achieve similar success in Bollywood. After remaining in oblivion for a long period, Anupama Varma is all set to shine again on the silver-screen in "With Luv... Tumhara".

The film is about a young girl trapped between love and grief, says Anupama who had made her Bollywood debut with Jackie Shroff's "Grahan" (2001).

"I'm playing Neha, a bubbly vivacious character who has a spunky attitude and joie-de-vivre. The film is likely to find favour with viewers. It is a glamorous character and I'll be seen in a completely new look," Anupama told IANS in an interview.

Anupama shows a lot of skin in the film but she justifies it saying that glamour is high on demand in films today.

"See, cinema is changing and viewers' demands for glamour is going higher and higher. We have to change accordingly. Many actresses are doing skin shows in movies and getting popular. So, for a makeover I'm doing it as well.

"I think there is nothing wrong with it so long as it is within the limitations. My father was a deputy chief of the air force and I would hate to do anything that would embarrass him."

However, the film promises to be a departure from the clichéd boy-meets-girl and boy-loses-girl drama canned so routinely on celluloid, feels the actress.

"It generates a renewed confirmation that selfless love can survive and thrive in a selfish world. It emphasises the need to give happiness to others. The main protagonists in this emotional film share secrets and the essential conflict that they face helps to shape up a poignant love story."

The film also stars Preeti Jhangiani, Pravin Dabas and Nakul Vaid. Anupama says she enjoyed working with them.

"It was a joyful experience. All of them are good and during the shooting we became good friends."

Anupama also featured on the small screen recently.

"I had gained good experience by working in some serials. I did some episodes in 'Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin', where the audience loved my character. After that I did 'Rishton Ki Dorr' and 'Ek Ladki Anjani Si' as well."

Anupama had done an item song in the Kareena Kapoor-starred "Chameli" and is doing a special dance number in "With Luv... Tumhara" as well.

"The 'Chameli' number was shot very classily and was good enough for me. In this film, there is a song picturised on me and it's being promoted as an item number," said the actress.

Anupama has more projects in hand, including some South Indian films, but her ultimate aim is to own an advertising agency.

"I have done MBA in marketing and finance from the Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi, and my ambition in life is to start an advertising company on my own."

Produced by Rakesh Bhhatia under his Bhartiya Global Infomedia Ltd and directed by Kamal D. Nathani, "With Luv... Tumhara" is slated to hit the screens later this month..
