How a behenji transformed into a sex bomb!
Sangeeta Ghosh has come a long way since her plain Jane days
DEEPALI DHINGRA
Think Sangeeta Ghosh and the image that one conjures up is of a sensuous woman. The actor's roles, whether that of Pammi in Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand or that of Priyanka in Viraasat on Star Plus have only reinforced that image. But has it been a deliberate effort on her part to create such an image for herself ? "Never," says Sangeeta and adds that it is just an image that has been created in people's minds. "When I was doing Mehendi Tere Naam Ki, people called me a behenji. Then when I started doing Des Mein... I started wearing fitted salwar kameezes and people termed me sexy. Later, when I returned to the show after a break of three or four months in Indo-western wear, people said Pammi was behenji and this new glam avatar of mine is sexy," says an exasperated Sangeeta. What people don't understand, she says, is that it is the demand of the character that needs a certain look.
"Being a woman, I have always felt that I should look good but that's that. I don't have a set of designers who work on my look," she says. But the ultimate surprise was in store for her when she started playing Priyanka in Viraasat. "Now, even when I wear a sari, people say I look sexy!" she laughs.
Apart from Viraasat, the only other show the actor is doing is the second season of Nach Baliye on Star One. She will be seen hosting the show for the second time with Shabbir Ahluwalia as her co-host. So what made her say 'yes' to the dance show for the second time? "There was no reason to say no," she says and adds that she had a blast the last time when she hosted it. "I've only benefited from it and people have appreciated me in it," says Sangeeta. But with a number of dance shows doing the rounds on other channels, how much does Nach Baliye 2 stand a chance? "Nach Baliye was a trendsetter. It will always create interest. Everybody remembers Kaun Banega Crorepati, do we even remember the rest?" she asks. Point noted Sangeeta!
