You and jadoo were sorely missed in Krrish. Did you miss yourself too?
“Well, since its sequel I couldn’t be in the film, but I made sure I’ve put all my positive energy in that one-minute. I’m close to the film, Duggu and Rakesh sir. My entire career I’ve have fought for that one child I wanted to bring in to the world. From Kya Kehna to Salaam Namaste, I fought for my little baby, if I wouldn’t have given birth to it; the world wouldn’t have ever seen Krrish. I am proud of my son is powerful son. Ha, ha, ha!”
Finally India’s got their super-man. When will we see the first superwoman come alive on-screen?
“I would love to be India’s super-woman. Sometime ago, we were working on a script with Shekhar Kapur, but the film didn’t take shape. It wasn’t a super-hero or super-woman kind of story, but it was an amazing story for kids. In fact, I should him what’s happening now.”
You already tried becoming a bat-woman, though?
“Oh, you’re talking about Halloween in America. I was bat-girl, so I beat Hrithik to it. I was dying to be part of Halloween; I asked SRK and Abhishek but they told me to forget the idea. I didn’t know who to catch, so I caught Aryan and Suhana, they were equally excited. They went to papa SRK and said they want to be a part of the parade. He was left with no choice, so we all ended up going to a store to pick up our costumes. Suhana was an angel. Aryan was this scary creature, SRK also had this scary mask because Aryan wanted him to look scary. Abhishek wore some Samba dance mask that looked so funny. We went for the parade, Suhana and I stuck to each other as we were in our complete costumes, and we didn’t want to be with the rest of them who weren’t fully dressed. But then a man dressed as bat man himself jumped at me from the crowd and screamed…”Bat woman!!!” We fled from there after that”.
Apparently in KANK the bubbly, chatty PZ has a cold streak for a change…
”Karan Johar is the King of emotions, and he’s made me do the toughest role of my career in KANK. In Kal Ho Na Ho I portrayed an unseen part of my part of my personality, a downplayed, non-glamorous girl. But there was still a lot of Preity in her. Riya has nothing of me in her. Karan would tell me Riya’s stupid because she’s so correct, he made me change a lot of the PZ characteristics for this role. At one point I though he’s got me on this film, and I almost told him - Leave me alone. Karan has completely indulged me in the film. Once I wore this outfit and told Karan it is stunning. He turned back and said, “Good, take care of it because it costs more than the location.” Sometimes you want to feel good about being a woman, you want to dress in those amazing clothes and flaunt it. Here I truly had the world at my feet truly. If I’ve done anything wrong in KANK it’s all my fault, and if I’ve done anything right it’s all thanks to Karan.”
You’ve been complimenting Rani a lot in your interviews, was Karan instrumental in helping you‘ll bury the hatchet?
“There was never a problem with Rani , it was only media-generated. I want to say this for the last time that I have a lot of respect for Rani as an actor because she is a good actor. Rani and I were never best friends; we never claimed to be best friends. The media made us best friends, and they made us worst enemies. I don’t understand these games. Rani and I are co-stars with a great working rapport, and we’re lucky for each other too. But off the sets I don’t think anyone has seen us together. I don’t go to her house; neither does she come to my house. We don’t party together. Rani doesn’t like partying; she’s more of a home person. We have nothing in common, whether it’s our backgrounds or our personalities. The only people I hang out with in this industry are Gauri - SRK, Hirthik-Suzzane, Karan, Abhi, Bobby- Tanya , Ritiesh, Fardeen-Natashaa. Tell me one occasion when Rani and I were spotted together? Then how could people assert that we were best friends? There is no friendship gone sour, hence, people should stop looking into it. Its all frivolous media reports that has become the center of speculation. The papers have only published stories about fights on the sets of KANK, give us a break, we are sensible adults, and we don’t need to have these stupid fights to promote our film.”
With such a big star cast, weren’t you intimidated or insecure at any point?
”Do I look kind to get intimidated? I am in awe of only one person - Mr. Bachchan. SRK is someone I adore; he’ll always been King Khan to me. I did my fourth film with Rani, and Abhishek is a buddy, my fellow Aquarian. I don’t know why I should be in awe of anybody; maybe other people were in awe of me. Just kidding! Maybe if we had a newcomer on the sets, he’d have an awe-factor.”
You have the reputation of being the chatty one, but apparently Abhishek can out-chatter you. Is that possible?
”Yes, but now I won’t let that happen ever again. He’s check-mated me a couple of times. I absolutely adore him; I keenly looking forward to Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. There are three kinds of Aquarians in the film, Bobby Deol, AB and me, and we’re similar in so many ways. We have these conversations that hop from one topic to another so fast that no one can keep pace with us. I did one of my first films with Bobby, I feel emotionally attached to Bobby. He’s a wonderful human being. And I can tell Abhishek is someone I can talk to about anything.”
Talking about your recent visit to the Cannes - Lot of people claim that Indian actors have no recall value for the international celebs out there. Your comment?
“Every year the Indian representation at the Cannes is increasing, but frankly, the only Indian star recognized at the Cannes is Aishwarya Rai. She was one of jury members; she’s a spokesperson for Loreal, hence she’s plastered all over there. There was remarkable representation from Bollywood this year, but having said that Cannes is not the be all and end all of the world stage, it’s an important aspect. Like they say - a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. I think every year we’re taking leaps. We can’t expect to conquer Cannes in a jiffy, Hollywood has been doing it for years.”
Many actresses are vying to play the role of Rani of Jhansi (Sush, Ash), wouldn’t you want to essay a classic character like this?
“I would love to portray a warrior, because I have it in my spirit. I am very athletic. But I don’t want to portray a classic role just for the sake of it. To be a warrior firstly you need to be athletic, secondly, you are an actor you can act anything. So, whoever beats whomever in the race for Rani Ki Jhansi , I wish them good luck.”
