Ram Kamal Mukherjee
The time she thought she didn't look sexy on screen: Traffic Signal, of course.The time she wanted to run away from home: It's the other way round. I get so bored while shooting that I always want to run back home.
A script she hated: There are plenty of those. And I usually fall asleep when I am not interested.
The hottest thing she ever put into her mouth: I love anything that's hot, but I guess green chillies are the hottest thing that I have put into my mouth.
Her biggest fear: I have this feeling that ghosts might exist. I just hope that I never see one in my life!
If she were in the Big Brother show: I would have never agreed be a part of that show, because I love my privacy. And if I were forced to be a part of the show, then I would take some good books to kill time.
Food that she wouldn't touch with a barge pole: Those typical Bengali vegetarian items like labra, shukto, charchari, ghanto and many other weird dishes like these!
What she would like to steal from her mom's cupboard: She allows me to wear everything she has in her cupboard, except a very old sari. Mom says that if I wear that sari, it will come apart. I really want to steal and wear it, at least once.
If she became the Prime Minister of India: I would resign immediately! What a nightmare! I can't imagine myself not roaming around freely.
One person she would love to punch: It's going to be Mel Gibson, firstly because I just don't like his cinematic sensibility, and secondly because I am sure that he won't read this column. And would also like to punch a couple of irresponsible journalists. (laughs)
One suggestion for Ekta Kapoor: I think she should give me some suggestion. As a matter of fact, Ekta is doing fine without any of my suggestions.
The most boring personality in Bollywood: I'd name John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. They are just together and happy. People try and dig out controversies about them but nothing happens. I am happy that they are boring!
One thing she would like to ask God for: Will power.
If she were offered the role of a homosexual character: I would love to do it if it's a well-written character and the director is trustworthy. I am very sure about the fact that I don't want to get exploited in the name of 'hatke' cinema.
The craziest thing she did in school: Taking up Mathematics in class 11.
Her perfect date: It would be River Phoenix. I liked him in My Own Private Idaho. He died at the age 23 outside the Viper Room, Johnny Depp's club at LA.
A wacky incident at an airport: I was going to visit a friend in Goa. I reached the airport very late and they informed me that I couldn't carry any luggage. I wanted to meet my friend, so I decided to leave my luggage at the airport and just travelled with my handbag. I was in Goa for two days with just one bag.
Her greatest crush: For the longest time, Johnny Depp has been my only crush.
The time she cooked unpalatable stuff: Once I tried baking a cake but it turned out to be a soft-sweet omelette.
The time she didn't get paid for her work: Well... there have been quite a few incidents. One has to learn and move on in life.
The time she got a call from the underworld: Why would I get call from the underworld? I am not even paid properly!
