Salman and Aamir are very similar: Asin

Salman and Aamir are very similar: AsinAfter working with Aamir Khan in her Bollywood debut "Ghajini", southern beauty Asin will now be seen with Salman Khan in "London Dreams". She says while the two superstars are very similar as people, their working styles are poles apart.

"As people, there are a lot of similarities between Aamir and Salman. Both are extremely warm, very friendly and down to earth. Not at all pretentious, " Asin told over telephone from Mumbai.

"As actors their working styles are quite different. Like for example when Aamir used to come on the sets to shoot, he used to sit with the cast and crew and used to discuss the scene, give his ideas and his inputs; he used to be quite involved, " the 23-year-old said.

"On the other hand, Salman used to come on the sets, shoot for the scene and leave. There used to be no give and take of ideas; so it used to seem very spontaneous. However, I am sure in his mind he must be knowing exactly what he has to do and how he has to do it, " she added.

The actress, who was brought up in Kerala and debuted in Sathyan Anthikad's Malayalam film "Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka" in 2001, created a mark in the Hindi film industry with "Ghajini" in 2008.

She is ready with her second Bollywood venture "London Dreams" that stars Ajay Devgan along with Salman.

Asked if she was nervous being in the same frame as two such experienced actors, Asin said she neither felt nervous nor intimidated.

"When I go on the sets, I forget all my inhibitions. When I was working with Ajay and Salman, I didn't feel any pressure, maybe because they themselves did not behave like stars and threw no starry tantrums.

"When you work with such dedicated actors, you also do your job well and try to learn whatever you can. But there was no intimidation... I was not scared or anything to work with them. They are experienced but also make you feel very comfortable, " Asin said.

"London Dreams", slated to release Oct 30, tells the story of two childhood friends who dream about making it big in the music industry and start a band. Asin, who is a dancer in the band, is the love interest of both friends.

So what made her sign the film?

"When the film was offered to me, I was keen to do it because I had worked with a star like Aamir in my first Hindi venture and in this one, there were two stars; so that was a 'double dhamaka'.

"Apart from that I loved my character Priya, which is quite different from my earlier role, and also a filmmaker like Vipul Shah is making the film. All these factors made me say yes, " Asin said.

Why Neil`s dad did not speak to him for six monthsBollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has revealed that his singer father Nitin Mukesh was upset with him for having debuted with a negative role in "Johnny Gaddaar".

"My dad did not speak to me for six months because I signed 'Johnny Gaddaar'. He was so mad at me that he wouldn't even speak to me when eating meals, " Neil told Farah Khan on STAR Plus' chat show "Tere Mere Beach Mein".

"I explained to him that it was necessary for people to recognise my acting abilities and that's why I'm doing the film. I can identify myself as an actor, make people identify with me as an actor. It was a big thing after the film released, " he added.

Baby Doll does not want to dance anymore

Baby Doll does not want to dance anymoreBaby doll Deepal Shaw’s bold and beautiful dancing moves in kabhi aar kabhi paar certainly aar-paar the audience’s hearts. And in spite of doing intense de-glam roles in serious films like A Wednesday and Kalyug, all these years, she is still remembered for the same.

When the news broke that she is paving her way into films, it was expected of her to do something as bold and beautiful as that in her previous album. This apparently peeves the doll and she blames media for this.

“It is because media have been constantly stressing on those videos until today. I have done many offbeat roles in the films like Kalyug, Wednesday, but that were never hyped as much as the videos.

As media is only interested in showing glamour they do not give sufficient coverage to the serious work that I have been doing in the films,” she laments.

But this does not bother her, as long as her directors show faith in her talent. “Directors with whom I have worked consider me a serious actor. If I were mere dancing doll why would I be given such serious roles?

It’s not my deliberate attempt to refrain from dancing in the film though I am sure if I do one I will get that hype, but I would do only if it’s a part of my character, as I am very serious about my acting career as of now,” she justifies.

Darling people remember you for the thing that you are good at.
