She's the pretty damsel from Kolkata who made it big seven years as a Miss India Finalist and has hit the jackpot yet again with a plum Balaji assignment in her kitty.

Reshmi has done it all from modeling to acting in films to now testing waters with television.
Kavita Shyam caught up with the bengali beauty…

I, Me Myself….
I am from a simple family from Kolkata and had harboured ambitions of making it big in the glamour field. I had entered the Miss India contest and fortunately

happened to win the same in 2002. Prior to that I was already into ramp modeling, so offers kept pouring in.

Projects…
I have done a Bengali film Amar Mayer Shompoti and also have done a cameo in Konkona Sen Sharma's first film. I have done many telefilms in Kolkata and I have acted in yet to be released film Tumse Milkar and a period drama based on Sevasadan besides I have done two music albums also. In Kyunki... I play this girl who has loads of attitude and is blunt to the core so I am looking forward to playing Bhumi.

Working with Balaji…
Balaji is the best production house to work with and I am happy that Ekta who selected me for the role of Bhumi. I had to audition for the role but Ekta had initially thought of me for some other role for some other show but later she thought I fitted Bhumi's role better. Television is much more secured as compared to films and I am under a three year contract with Balaji so maybe after a few years will become a grandmother in the show.

Co-actors…

The entire unit from the make-up guys to the senior actors have all helped me immensely. I think I get along tremendously with Krishna Tulsi probably because of the Bengali connection.

Homework for the role…
I watched films like Cruel Intention to observe the negative characters in the film besides which I am also writing details about my character so that I can prepare in advance for it.

Personal life…
Marriage is definitely on the cards. He's a a family friend's son. So, it's going to be an arranged marriage and will probably happen next year.
I would love to do another Balaji show but for now I will continue modeling.
