Minissha gets a makeover

WHEN Minissha Lamba was told that she would have to wear a bikini for a key sequence in Kidnap, she didn’t blink an eye. Instead, she pronto started making plans develop the kind of body she could carry off in dare bare attire.

When Sanjay Gadhvi came me with the film, he was clear about one thing – he wanted to completely change my look and make me go through a transition. He asked me whether I was game for it but honestly, I didn’t have any reason not to be a part of it.” Didn’t she require any convincing whatsoever? “Not at all”, replies Minissha promptly, “We all know what he has done to his ladies in Dhoom and Dhoom 2. All his actresses have looked fabulous on screen whenever they have gone through an image transformation. Continue reading ‘Minissha gets a makeover’

Imraan fond of Minissha!

While the teen sensation Imraan Khan is hot favourite among girls, this oh–so cute boy is fond of actress Minissha Lamba!

Apparently, when Imraan had seen Minissha Lamba’s debut movie YAHAAN he was so impressed with her that he recommended that she play the lead role in his debut JAANE TU…YA JAANE NA. But for some reasons Minissha couldn’t be a part of the blockbuster movie JAANE TU…YA JAANE NA and in due course Genelia got signed. Continue reading ‘Imraan fond of Minissha!’

Imran Khan stabs Minissha!

If you thought Imran Khan was a cute chocolate boy after his debut flick Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, think again. The actor will be seen jabbing a knife between Minissha Lamba’s fingers in his next film Kidnap where he plays a negative role.

Apparently, Imran was asked to use a fake knife for the shot but the director Sanjay Gadhvi preferred the real thing. And Imran was not at all scared using a real knife since he is quite a pro at it. Continue reading ‘Imran Khan stabs Minissha!’

Minissha Lamba gets a new haircut!

A birdy has just hopped by to ask what’s wrong with Minissha Lamba.

We’re told the pretty, petite gal has gone and chopped off all her tresses.

The first thing she did after recovering from her bout of malaria is head straight for a beauty salon and go snip, snip. Continue reading ‘Minissha Lamba gets a new haircut!’

When work on KIDNAP began a year back, it was mainly the coming together of two Sanjays – Sanjay Dutt and Sanjay Gadhvi – that got the excitement quotient on. Minissha Lamba was a pretty face with good acting skills, as evidenced in films like YAHAAN and HONEYMOON TRAVELS PVT. LTD. while Imran Khan was a newbie who was roped in for a role which clearly had grey shades. Continue reading ‘Minissha: It helps that Imran is a superstar today’

Minissha likes to be 17. She played a 17-year-old girl in her recent success Bachna Ae Haseeno and even in her forthcoming film Kidnap, she is enjoying enacting the role of a girl of the same age.

“However, apart from the age factor, there is absolutely nothing else common between the two characters that I portray on screen for the two films”, says Minissha who has consistently impressed critics and audience alike with her performances in Yahaan, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd, Dus Kahaniyaan, Shaurya and very recently Bachna Ae Haseeno. “Sonia of Kidnap is so very different from Mahi of Bachna Ae Haseeno even though both are in their growing up years.”

Revealing more about the contrasting parts that she has played in the two films, Minissha says, “In Bachna…, I was this sweet girl with moony eyes who is looking for togetherness in life from the first guy she falls in love with ever. She is unable to ever forget her first love. On the other hand in Kidnap, my character is that of a hip girl who parties hard, is quite sassy and overall energetic. She never lets a dull moment around her.” Continue reading ‘Minissha Lamba on Kidnap and two very different roles’
