Amrita Singh says no to dot com!
by Vidhya Krishnan
Jul 17, 2008, Bangalore

Ekta Kapoor's reality show, LUX Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket is the latest buzz that's catching everybody's fancy. Reality shows are done to death. We @ TW actually roll our eyes when it comes to a new show. But if its from the 'K' camp, our interest is piqued. Everybody knows the 'K' camp is all about superlatives. Nothing is small when it comes to the house of Balaji Productions. So any new show has us unearthing details in the hope that probably there is something new in the offering. And an interest not just about the show but also with the who's who in the show.

And this reality show is her talent hunt for Bollywood for which she has roped in bigwigs of our industry – Zeenat Aman, Shabana Azmi, Amrita Singh and Mahesh Manjerekar.

We decided to interview the Amrita Singh, who has always shown a fondness to the Balaji camp. The actress would be seen mentoring in Ekta's show. Post Kavyaanjali, we missed seeing her power packed performance and was hoping that we would soon see her back on the small screen wooing her fans with her firebrand acting powers.

So we thought to chat up with the lady and find out more about the happenings regarding the show and more, but to our surprise, she said, "I am not interested in giving an interview for a web portal".

Rude she was with the tone and the manner in which she conveyed and we couldn't help wonder in which age, the has-been actress is living in...

Amrita Singh may have her own reasons not to speak to the media. But stating that she will not speak to a web portal left us a little sore. We are a breed of journo's who believe in the power of the net over other mediums. It's the age of dot com, Ms. Singh. It's an age where people log on to the www to know what's happening in the world. It's an age where the border lines between the media are graying. Ok, we admire the lady because some of her coterie will do just about anything to get attention. The lady chooses to maintain her dignity and decorum and we respect her privacy.

But, what pinched us was the fact that, "No interviews to the www!" The power of 'www' is seemingly alien to Ms. Singh. So, we were left with a whole lot of unanswered questions like…and unanswered they would remain, because Amrita Singh does not give interview to dotcoms.
