Nisha Kothari likes steamy steps
It’s been a while, but I haven’t forgotten about Purplocity/Verniness. How could I? Is there anything else in this world that is joyful?
HT Tabloid quotes Nisha Kothari on Ajay Devgan:
Though I have exposed a bit in a steamy song with him, yet he is looking sexier than me. I find him quite hot. I like his body when he takes off his shirt. He looks quite enticing when he exposes his torso. I have enjoyed the steamy steps on the set.
I feel that he is the kind of actor I can vibe well with.
Right. I yearn for the day when Devgan can say such things about Kothari. Anyway, young Ms Kothari is then asked how she managed to play the role of an autorickshaw driver without any preparation. She replies:
Ramu ji wanted me to do most of the scenes spontaneously on the set. So I didn’t really have to learn how to drive an auto-rickshaw. That way, it looks more realistic. Besides that, I always have a bidi in my mouth.
God is in the details, they say. God is a bidi.
