[b]Tell us about Monica.[/b][br /]
[br /]


Monica is about a journalist, who comes from a small town and wants to make it big in life. She uses people to become famous. The film is inspired from real life stories of journalists like Shivani Bhatnagar [an Indian Express reporter, who was murdered on January 23, 1999] and Madhumita Shukla [a budding poetess from Lucknow, who was murdered on May 9, 2003].[br /]

I am looking different in the film -- very bold and brash. My character is a go-getter. I have not done a role like this before. I have five different looks in the film[br /]

[b]Did you have to prepare yourself mentally for the lesbian act in the film?[/b][br /]

It is just a small scene that hints at it. There was nothing to make me uncomfortable. We are professional actors and the scene has been done very nicely.
