'Rs 2 cr too less to strip on TV': Poonam Pandey

Flooded by offers to star in reality shows, model Poonam Pandey has her hands full as of now.

Her life and career went on a roller coaster ride ever since she offered to go commando for the World Cup winning Indian Cricket team.

The Men in Blue ensured that the trophy stayed at home for the next four years, and Poonam has had the time of her life answering the all-important question--so when is she going to live up to her promise? In a candid chat, we quizzed her on all that and more.

The first salvo shot at the leggy lass was about her featuring in a popular reality show. The buzz is that Poonam has been offered a whopping Rs 2 crore to star in the reality show. However, the 20-year-old informs us that this is news to her.

"I have no idea who has circulated this news. In fact, I found out about the offer when I read it on a website. It said that I had been offered a huge amount to strip on the show," said Poonam.

She adds, "But tell me, isn't Rs 2 crore too less an amount to strip on national television? I have been offered close to 30-odd reality shows, but I don't want to be known as a 'Reality Queen'. My aim is to prove my mettle in Bollywood."

When asked about her ventures in Bollywood, she said that currently there are a few offers but she isn't keen on them. The Khans and the A-list is on her mind. "Over the years Salman Khan has worked with several newcomers and I am hoping I get lucky too," she adds. Om Shanti Om, Dabangg and Band Baaja Baarat have all been runaway hits with newcomers, and Poonam is hoping for a similar big bang debut in Bollywood.

With the evolving nature of the audience, movies laced with expletives, lyrics with acronyms and an array of intimate scenes are being accepted and appreciated at the box office.

"The taste of the audience is changing rapidly, and we can see how the song DK Bose became such a popular hit. Heroines are willing to pose in bikinis and even do intimate scenes. The audience has evolved, and I am no different," she says.

"As a person I am quite bold and forthright, and that shows in my work too. I can shoot as many bold scenes, or action sequences as the script demands. I am a director's actor," says Poonam.

Simple wedding for Ratan Rajput

So after all the hype, you did a Rakhi Sawant by only getting engaged on the reality show. Will you marry Abhinav?

Why a Rakhi Sawant? We aren't similar, but yes, when it comes to our wedding decision I think we have our funda right - we live for ourselves and don't do things to please others and I feel all girls should be like us. I was not going to marry because others wanted me to - that would have just made some news for a night.

People also said that I was doing this for money but I think I did the right thing. I felt that Abhinav and I should get engaged to get to know each other. We are both taking time off the camera to see if we can understand each other. I can't tell you a date but I can say that the wedding when it happens, will be a simple one. For now, the good news is, that Abhinav has started a new job in Delhi and I shall be going there on August 12 to meet him as it's his birthday then.

Aman Verma in a new role

Aman Verma, currently seen as Bhanupratap in Na Aana Is Desh Meri Laado, will play Balbeer (Subhash Chandra Bose's confidant) in an upcoming film titled Hitler to Gandhi.

He was very excited to play a sardar for the first time. He polished his mother tongue Punjabi and also practised the lehzaa (Punjabi etiquette) for the role. He initially sported a turban and a beard in the movie but the makers asked him to shoot sans beard and turban for a war sequence as it didn't fit him well. So fond was he of the sikh look that he stuck with it at home. Though the actor was disappointed that he couldn't don the sardar look throughout but made it up for the lost opportunity by sporting one at home

Pooja Gor to get engaged?

Pooja Gor plays a fire brand character in her serial and cut to real life, things are no different.

If the buzz is to be believed, Pooja had a tough time bringing her parents and boyfriend Raj Singh Arora on the same page. Apparently, Pooja's parents didn't approve of their relationship. The lad has also always been uncomfortable talking about his affair with Gor. Insiders feel that he doesn't want people to take him as someone basking in the glory of his girlfriend's popularity.

But he apparently doesn't mind frequenting the sets of Pooja's show and keep the tongues wagging with their chemistry. Pooja, who came to Mumbai a few years ago, fell in love with Arora and intends to marry him in future. Apparently, her parents felt that Raj was not the right one for their daughter. They even expressed their concern to Gor but later gave into her choice fearing that too much of opposition would turn her into a rebel. Buzz is that the actress even wants to shift into the same building as Raj but her parents don't believe in the living-in concept and hence have asked her to commit herself to Raj formally. Of late, the two love birds have been spotted leaving together post her shoot. While Arora didn't revert to our text message, Pooja said, "It's a shocking rumour! Neither are we moving in together nor am I getting engaged anytime soon. We are in a steady relationship and my parents are aware of the fact that Raj is my boyfriend and they are fine with it."

Juhi Parmar gets nostalgic

Rajasthan University recently opened its gates for the new academic session. And while talking to us recently, Jaipur girl and television actress Juhi Parmar got nostalgic about her college days in the city.

She rues, "It's sad that I never really got the time to enjoy my college days because soon after completing my schooling, I shifted to Mumbai for work. So, I had to pursue a correspondence course from University Maharani's College. I don't think the city's education system is lagging behind as most of my friends studied in Jaipur colleges. Haan, ab Jaipur kaafi advance ho gaya hai and people will soon realise its worth."

The moment we got talking about bunking classes, she smiled and said, "Agar bunk karke bhi grades acche aate hain then there is no harm in bunking college."
