Chitrangada Singh continues to tease Bollywood with her intense performances. Here’s the next one from her - the film ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’ directed by Sudhir Mishra for producer Prakash Jha. The actress has also been linked to her mentor and director Sudhir Mishra, but she dismisses that as a “ work of someone with no work!” “ I play a singer called Preeti in the film,” she starts off conversation.

The actress clearly is in a mood to talk cinema as we begin business after exchanging pleasantries “ Preeti is a very ambitious girl. She would go to any extent to get what she loves and that gives a dimension to the character and adds grey shades to it,” she says. “ I am working with Irrfan Khan and Arunoday Singh in the film.” While Irrfan is the hero, Arunoday plays the villain of the piece.
Chitrangada says that the role is what got her to do the film. “ I have got such a beautiful role after waiting for a long time. The character of Preeti is like me in some aspects as well. Like she too believes in the fact that love is blind and I think so too. So that makes two of us – me and Preeti,” she says.
The actress explains the reason why she works a lot with Sudhir Mishra. “ He understands my abilities to perform and we have such a good tuning as well. In this film we have Irrfan Khan too and we really gelled well as a shooting unit. But more importantly, a film like this become a milestone in my career,” explains the actress.
The actress is hardly seen in Bollywood and often plays the now you see me, now you don’t see me game. Chitrangada explains the reason why. “ It is only about the kind of role that I want to do and the characters that are offered to me. I need to get excited about them. I believe in the fact that I would rather do quality work and be happy rather than do a lot of work which does not make sense,” she tries to justify.
The actress who married ace Indian golfer Jyoti Randhawa has a three and a half year old child as well and one wonders how it could be true that a girl like her has been managing all this work and still look beautiful enough to work in cinema even if it is a bit intermittent? “ Ha! I knew that was coming. Well, it is about time management. I have been doing films and commercials as well after my marriage and taking care of the two people in my life who matter.” Chitrangada will also be seen in all probability in Sudhir Mishra’s next film ‘ Dhruv’ as well. Kareena Kapoor is said to play a pivotal role in that film. “ We are talking about it now. I am also playing an important role in David Dhawan’s son Rohit Dhawan’s film ‘ Desi Boyz’. There is one more film with Prakash Jha which we are still discussing,” says the actress. Any unfulfilled desires? “ Well, not many people know that I am a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan and want to work with him in a movie. I just did a commercial with him. And now I want to do a movie…,” she trails off.
