I have no mental blocks about showing skin: Gauri

Gaurie Pandit
It took the Mumbai model and music video star three years to make a comeback to T-town after her money-spinning launchpad, Andhrudu hit the screens. Of course she mouths the oft-heard reason for not doing Telugu films as she was “being choosy”, but most would assume it is professional hara-kiri to stay away from the limelight. Gauri confesses that she didn’t want to take up “film roles” that weren’t “interesting enough” and chose to go on a “well-deserved break”.

Today she has three films in her kitty and she claims her “role in Houseful revived” her “interest in Tollywood films. Things are falling in place and finally I can say my Tollywood career is on a roll,” she asserts with confidence.

Has she finally picked up some Telugu? “Learning an alien language is tough, but I’m going to do that soon. I have started watching Telugu movies and can follow dialogues,” she says, adding a word of praise for her colleagues Naresh and Vaibhav, who she describes as “extremely professional and friendly.”

When it comes to Bollywood she’d love to work with heartthrobs Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan. A Hindi movie buff, Gauri makes it a point to watch all the latest blockbusters. And while Gauri would love to do a B-town flick when the “right offer comes by” for now she’s all set to sign Tamil and Kannada films to make her “mark” in southern cinema.

A common trait of a Bollywood import is to indulge in skin show in Telugu films. “I have no mental blocks about showing skin, but I’ll do the film if such a shot is done aesthetically. I think looking sexy is not just about showing off your curves. A person’s sex-appeal could be in the overall personality, a smile, the eyes, anything,” reasons Gauri.

Gauri confesses that while south films will offer her “work experience” her big dream remains Bollywood. Is she confident of taking on the ever-growing indigenous talent in Tollywood? “Of course. I don’t think creativity has regional barriers,” she signs off.
