Bollywood actress Namya Saxena amazed everyone with her character in her last release, "Phullu" that was directed by Abhishek Saxena. And now, she is all set for her next venture, "Vodka Diaries" wherein she will be seen doing a cameo.

In an exclusive interview with us, Namya revealed as to what made her take up the role and that Kay Kay Menon was the inspiration behind her saying yes.

She shares, "Actually I was referred by Sharib Hashmi. He is a friend. SO I have done the movie "Phullu" with him that's similar to Akshay Kumar's "Padman". The director of "Phullu", Abhishek Saxena is my real brother and I did a supporting role in the film. So I know Sharib through him and then he approached me for "Vodka Diaries" and said that it's a small role just like a cameo so will I do it."

She further reveals that, it was Kay Kay Menon who inspired her to say "Yes" for the role.

"So I asked Sharib what is the film all about and then he revealed to me that Kay Kay Menon is in the film. And hearing that I was thrilled because I am a big fan of Kay Kay Menon Sir and I immediately said yes. Also, I was free in January last year so I agreed to give it a shot," adds Namya.

She further shares, "The shoot was in Manali so I thought lets go and just meet the makers but there they told me to give the audition. I wasn't at all prepared for it but I went ahead and gave it and they really liked it and selected me. That's how I landed this role!"

Speaking about her character, Namya says, "My character in the film is of an independent girl who is dating a guy. And this guy is somehow connected to Raima Sen in the movie and he also has a song with her. You will be surprised to know that till now I don't know the complete script of the movie (laughs). It's kept very confidential as the makers want the viewers to go and see the mystery in theaters."

Vodka Diaries is an upcoming thriller film directed by Kushal Srivastava and is all set to hit the silver screens on January 19, 2018.
