What’s Minissha Lamba upto?

She may be missing from the big screen for quite some time, but actress Minissha Lamba has plenty of other stuff on her plate, such as “watching movies and reading books”.

In the Capital to attend the launch of designer collection, Kyne, Lamba says, “My film, Well Done Abba, is complete and now I have a lot of time to spend with myself and explore other interests. In the future, I may even start my own website or a magazine, but we’ll have to wait and watch.”

Till a week back, the actress was distressed since she was being stalked. She says, “Though it has stopped now, I feel it’s not only celebrities who get stalked. It happens to women in general. I think it is high time that this stops in our country.”

Rubbishing reports of denying KJO’s Kurbaan because she was uncomfortable doing a kissing scene, Minissha says, “I could not do Kurbaan because my passport had expired and it could not be renewed in time. I will do any kind of roles if the script demands it.”

Quizzed about her relationship status, the actress quips, “I am single,” reasoning that relationships are a “hindrance” to her career.

“There are just a few days to go for the Copenhagen negotiations and the planet desperately needs a good deal on the climate change issue. We should dissuade the use of coal and promote renewable energy technology,” said the actress, who’s now part of the Greenpeace campaign. So, Minissha is going to send out letters so that the initiative gains momentum and will also emphasise the need for our Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh to attend the summit. “Wonders will not happen over night, we need to take steps towards making it a reality. We can do our bit at the micro level by saving up energy but it’s possible at the macro level only if the government takes an initiative,” said Minissha who feels responsible towards this cause.

Minissha Lamba is the new face of Ever Yuth

The very name of Minissha Lamba not just reflects beauty and grace, but also poise and magnetism. After having glorified the silver screen with her presence in Bollywood and after having launched a thousand products merely by saying ‘cheese’, the camera’s favourite girl is now all set to add yet another product in her kitty of endorsements.

This time round, it’s the cosmetic company Zydus Pharma who has signed her for their flagship brand ‘EverYuth’. If the sources close to Bollywood Hungama are to be believed, then, the remuneration that Minissha has received is really something to rave about. The source also went onto add that Minissha was very particular about the TVC that was shot featuring her promoting the brand. Hence, she sat throughout the making of the ad, which, incidentally has come out really well.

All in all, Minissha has now more than one reason to smile about. After all, she is someone who can ‘for-Ever’ represent the ‘Youth’. What say, Minissha!

Minissha’s loss turned out to be Dia Mirza’s gain. Dia, who was earlier seen opposite Vivek in Dum, had no compunctions about romancing her hero again. Now Minissha is back in a slim-trim avatar sporting a gun looking for some action-packed roles. Some girls prefer guns to roses.

The sizzling Minissha Lamba has filed an FIR with the police regarding an unknown offensive caller. The stunning beauty has been receiving mysterious abusive calls and vulgar text messages. The text’s were sent using multiple phones from the past three to four days. If buzz has it true, the caller has been arrested following the FIR!

Minissha will be seen in an all-action movie. Lamba was apart of ‘Kidnap’ however she did not have any stunts compared to Imran Khan and Sanjay Dutt. Minissha recently stated that she is a fearless person and thinks it will be fun being apart of the ‘men’ genre. Apart from this action packed movie, Minissha was recently seen with Neha Dhupia and Mugda Godse endorsing the Gillette Mach 3 shaving line in India. Most recently, the actresses have joined together to form an association discussing violence against women!

For Minissha Lamba, it’s a dog’s world

Mumbai: Minissha Lamba is the latest in the list of celebrities to have come forward to do something for the cause of animals. Minissha Lamba has taken up the international issue of cruelty to animals in a big way and she is advocating people to stop using dogs as bait while shark- fishing. She is also looking to team up with various associations to do her bit to try and protect the species.

“I have learnt that dogs and even cats are used as baits in several countries for shark-fishing. This is a clear case of cruelty to these species and I’m looking to do my bit for it. I don’t have any concrete plan as of now but I’m using the Internet as a medium to spread awareness at the moment,” she said.

Meanwhile, Minissha is ecstatic about the response her new movie Well Done Abba is getting at film festivals across the world. The movie directed by Shyam Benegal will see Boman Irani in a double role.

“It is completely a Boman Irani movie. He has done a commendable job in the film. I signed the movie because it is a Shyam Benegal film and I was dying to work with him. The film isn’t similar to Welcome to Sajjanpur in any way as many people are speculating. People need to see it for themselves to decide and pass judgement,” she says.

Though Minissha has been part of acclaimed movies like Yahaan, Honeymoon Travels and Bachna Ae Haseeno, she hasn’t been very lucky when it came to box office glory. We asked her if she ever felt frustrated about not getting her due.

“Success is a very relative term and I’m still very new in the industry. I’m hoping I will taste better results in the years to come,” she said.

Minissha yearns for a beach vacation

“I’m dying to go on a vacation – some place where I can dive into the blue ocean water and sunbathe. I have had a lot of commitments lately so it was hard to take out time for a holiday,” Minissha told IANS.

The actress, who was the showstopper for designer duo Hemant-Nandita, says she went into the holiday mood as soon as she slipped into the designers’ chic resort wear collection, inspired by “a vacation in Ibiza”.

“After wearing this dress, I really think I want to go to Ibiza without all the stress of work,” said Minissha, who walked the ramp confidently in a colourful, flowy dress with prominent work on the neckline.

“I really like what Hemant and Nandita have done because no one in India used to treat beach wear and resort wear as a legitimate couture line. And their line offers everything – from swimsuits to flattering gowns with work for a classy dinner at a resort,” she added.

After her glamorous avatar in “Kidnap”, Minissha is now waiting for the release of Shyam Benegal’s comedy “Well Done Abba”, in which she stars alongside Boman Irani and Sammir Dattani.

“It is a political satire based in a village – it’s a very different movie. It has its message to it but it isn’t preachy or moralistic,” said the actress who made her debut with off beat film “Yahaan”.

The film is inspired by two short stories – “Narsaiyyan Ki Bavdi” by Jeelani Bano and “Phulwa Ka Pul” by Sanjeev, and is produced by Reliance BIG Pictures. It revolves around a Mumbai-based driver who takes a month’s leave to find a groom for his teenage daughter.

Asked if the movie is a conscious effort to experiment with the kind of cinema she has been used to, Minissha said: “There’s no conscious effort. I have always loved whatever I have done.”

Minissha was also seen in “Bachna Ae Haseeno” with Ranbir Kapoor.
