It’s all the more surprising because she’s plain looking, has zero charisma and isn’t really some great actress.
This lass has been smart enough to make it to the Balaji Czarina’s good books and her well wishers made it a point to hype her so called young age (it’s interesting that she never looked like a teen then or seems to be in her early twenties now), her dedication towards work and also helped her to win the reality show ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ last year (many claimed it was rigged).

Well she herself admits that the show "created a bridge between TV and cinema after being the weepy Bahu and a woman between 30 and 40 for long"!
‘Rock on!!’ was directed by her god mother’s cousin Abhishek Kapoor. No wonder he chose her to play the neglected wife of Farhan Akhtar.
It’s another matter that the movie was dominated by the guys (Farhan, Arjun, Purab, Luke) and the strong performance of another new actress Shahana Goswami blew her away!
She says she was contractually bound by producers Abbas Mustan for ‘Life Partner’ and that made her lose out on ‘Jashn’ with Adhyayan Suman, which happens to another one those ambitious endeavours of the Bhatts! Anjana Sukhani and the one who overshadowed her, Shahana Goswami now star in the film!
‘Life Partner’ directed by Rumi Jaffrey ( whose disastrous ‘God Tussi Great Ho’ was out not very long ago) is a multi starrer with Govinda, Fardeen Khan , Genelia D’Souza etc and she’s in all probability with none other than her godmother’s brother Tusshar Kapoor.
Wonder how this non-stunner plans to stand out in a film like that!
Now she’s back to what she’s good at- harping about her closeness with Ekta Kapoor and family.
She’s been saying how close Ekta, her mom Shobha Kapoor and she are and people can’t spoil their relationship, how she’s like a daughter in their family and how her Shobha Aunty is concerned about her film career. She did decline a film with Balaji but she’s sure that her Shobha Aunty and Ekta will tell her what’s best for her career. It was so difficult for her to leave’ Kasamh Se’ but they only encouraged her to take up ‘Rock on!!’. She will always be relying on them to guide her through her film career and blah blah blah.
We all know about their mutual admiration society. So what’s so new about that? All said and done, after a few more bad experiences and some time, it won’t be surprising if she only starts doing films with Balaji and the czarina’s friends like Suneil Shetty in the future!
