I am a simple girl: Hrishitaa

Hrishitaa Bhatt (TOI Photo) Actress Hrishitaa Bhatt begins the interview by telling us how ���fortunate I am to have been launched into this industry by none other than SRK. I was paired opposite him in Asoka and it had been a great learning experience for me.���
Now, she will star with another legend of sorts: none other than the great Mithunda in Don Muthuswami.She is, predictably, all praise for him as well: ���Mithunda is wonderful and has great comic timing. As a child, I would go into raptures whenever I would see him dancing to ���I am a disco dancer��� and I couldn���t believe my luck when I got to work with him.���
Hrishitaa has done different kinds of roles and been a part of Bengali, Telegu and Bhojpuri films. ���I am a Gujarati by birth but my Bengali aunt has brought me up so Bengali cinema is not a problem for me. In fact, in Don Muthuswami we were a Bengali gang at the sets: Mithunda, director Asheem Samanta and Rohit Roy. Telegu is difficult to master as a language but I believe Telegu cinema has grown leaps and bounds in the following years,��� says Hrishitaa.
Bhatt has also recently featured with actor Shakti Kapoor in a music video called Dakku Daddy. What was that career move all about? ���I started my career with modelling and TV commercials so when this music video came my way, I said why not?��� Is she open to doing television as well then? ���I don't mind doing television, in fact I had got an offer but I could not take it up. I would like to host a reality TV show.���
She sports a lithe body and is open to different kinds of roles, but what she loves doing the most is romance and comedy. ���I love drama, where larger than life events take place. I love watching romance and comedy. The same applies to my career. I would like to do romantic and comedy projects. Although I don���t mind doing realistic cinema once in a while.���
She describes herself as ���adamant but in a good sense of the term.��� She says, ���I was very choosy about roles and I still am, in a certain way. I was labelled as a serious and simple girl but time and again I have proved myself and that is what counts at the end of the day.��� Her mantra of choosing roles is: ���I believe one has to trust the director, because it is his vision that you are stepping into.��� While she is busy with Jugaad that pairs her opposite Manoj Bajpai and Chehre directed by Rohit Kaushik, she manages to pursue her interests. ���I am a trained Kathak dancer and I catch up with my riyaaz when I find some time. Since I get very tired at the end of the day, I just unwind by reading books or meeting friends.���
All that she wishes for in life is ���that my professional dreams come true. I can���t bear the thought of not working.���
