NDTV Raaz Pichle janam ka

My Experience during the NDTV Raaz pichle janam ka participation...



Well i have always wondered why i am not so close with my dad as i am with my mom and brother.. Why do i get overtly possessive or say dependent in my relationships or friendships with men.. I am a very confident actor and human being in all my dealings in my life but somewhere where it comes to basic relationships or just picking up the phone to speak to my father i feel very lost and insecure..I guess i had realised to keep these feelings to myself as everyone has some or the other drawback in life or say weakness in better words..

I still remember i never had a simple icecream outing with my dad or the fact he just smiled and spent time with me without scolding us.. I felt he always discouraged me and always put my ambitions in life on a back burner.. I hail from a middle class family but as a child i always aimed big and had a inner desire to excel in whatever i did like my studies , sprinting or mere participation of a fashion show.. I still remember that before my 12th board exams my physics , chemistry and biology professors had come home to wish me luck conveying to my father that they expect me getting distinction grades.. However my dad said he would be happy if i got 50-60 % .. When i heard this i broke down and fought with him that 'why do you always underestimate me? '

So such was my childhood where striving for excellence was not taught by my father and i yearned for it from the bottom of my heart...The desire to prove was so much that i came to mumbai by myself to pursue what i believed in.. My mom always supported me but somewhere i did not have my dad to depend on or cry on his shoulders.. I refuse to believe that he hated me or my brother as that would be challenging the basic love of parents for there own kin but yes there was something amiss..I chose to forget it and get on with the basic cycle of moving up in my career as an actor.. But somewhere the void was continuiously there as my friendship with men also got a bit claustrophobic with time and my dependence to look for a father figure..


when i saw the promos of this show i was intrigued but a bit skceptical about the honesty and reality of it all.. When i was offered participation ,it seemed like an answer to my prayers to understand my The Only sensitive issue of my life...

I participated and it felt wonderful like winning a battle or solving the most tedious questionnaire ... I was a BOY in my past birth and i had a life which went through a certain kind of betrayal that did explain my rapport with my father and generally men...I would like to share more but that would spoil the curiosity related to the show and i would not wanna do that.. So when this episode is aired in december you will get to hear my side of story relating to the truthfulness of past life karmas...

'mr and mrs sharma'

well hello everyone ,

Its been long since i wrote..I just finished shooting for a thriller series for sahara one channel which anubhav sinha is producing and its called 'mr and mrs sharma'.. The show has me picking up lot of naunces from myself which everyone saw in my appearance in reality series BIGG BOSS season 2 last year..I get murdered here and the series is based on finding my thriller..

Also i celebrated rakhi with my brother who is visiting me and he gave me a lovely Hugo boss kit...well i had been taking his trip for the gift :) I also shot for my internet downloads for globosport and the new pictures should go online pretty soon..They are pretty hot..
Hope you guys checked me out in FHM magazine july issue 2009.. And from august I am the Agony Aunt for MAXIM magazine :)

Well one more thing i wanna share with you is the precautions v need to take to protect ourselves from Swine flu.. Guess its getting serious in India so lets just be careful ..

Sunday :)

hello everyone ,

Hope you guys in mumbai are enjoying the rains.. well i agree my writing has not been pretty regular but just been caught up with too many things.. Yesterday the news of MJ's death shook us all as he was just 50 years old and planning a comeback tour 'this is it' from july 13th in london..But life had its own plan for him and it was such a sad news as now the Peter Pan of Pop music is no more their.. For me it was also a sad news though am not such a great fan of music but MJ was someone with whom everyone related and was aware off..Reports say excessive use of 'demerol' the painkiller that he used , all i say that sometimes inorder to maintain an image v go haywire and that is what needs to be controlled..Life is too precious and if v dont have that then whats the point of all this fame and success...May his soul rest in peace..

In terms of what i have doing is this week had to visit a ngo called 'jeevan dhara' where drug addicts and alcoholics are treated free of cost and I got to see the struggle that these people go through ..Life is not so easy and v think v have all the problems :) Some of these guys had been clean for years but were still finding difficulty in getting jobs for themselves or acceptance back from their family members... This is sad as v wanted them to change and when these addicts do become clean v dont have the guts to accept them.. This is another example of hypocrite Indian Society and v should seriously do something about this..

June 26th is the 'world anti drug ' day and i had lost a friend prieti in college to this addiction so I get pretty close to this cause as it rakes up past memories..But life had its own way of teaching us lessons and v should thank God that v get to learn something from it..

I think v should all do something for these people in whatever way v can..money. shelter, job or emotional support as these people need it all...

my role as a journo in my next

Delhi trip

hi :)
its summer time and i am just back from delhi.. Had been visiting the capital for Grihalaxmi kitty party event and Times Food guide and nightlife awards 2008 function.. It was great fun as women were chatting up with me about my reality show appearance and how they loved me in it and so were children.. Infact had small children come up with flowers to woo me :)
Their was some Aajtak journo who addressed me as item girl and i took her case , well its been 3 years since i did my item song in corporate , so why type cast me??? She was a woman herself so seemed odd for her attitude..
All in all good experience of my trip but the heat man is maddening..I heard it rained yesterday so feel happy for the delhities :)
Also went out partying with some of my friends at a nightclub in delhi called nasha during my stay ...Rocked after really long:)
