Newcomer Bhumicka Singh is making her debut in the Akshaye Khanna starrer "Aap Ki Khatir" and says she is overwhelmed by the response her item number is getting.

"I feel absolutely flattered when people come and ask me whether I am the 'Tu hai kamaal' girl. The number has become a hot craze among youngsters," says Bhumicka, daughter of Aishwarya Rai's business manager Hari Singh.

The actress gives credit to director Dharmesh Darshan and composer Himesh Reshammiya for her fame.

"Himesh-ji's foot tapping music has ensured that the number become a hot bet at all discotheques. I owe my look in the song to Dharmesh-ji, who has given Nikki's character a distinct identity in the film," she said.

However, Bhumicka's role is restricted to a special appearance, but the newcomer has no qualms about it.

She said: "It is a brief but very well-defined role of a cute, adorable and sexy young girl from London, who is flirtatious and full of attitude. She is a perfect blend of Indian and Western culture and knows the secrets of her two cousins (played by Priyanka Chopra and Amisha Patel).

"No doubt the role is a small, but I consider it as the ideal launch pad irrespective of the length of the role. The film will have its share of audiences because it is produced by a top ranking banner, directed by a reckoned name and has the top names in the cast."

She expects good offers to come her way once the film hits the theatres. "I have given my best to the role and there's no reason why I shouldn't get the best of offers."

Bhumicka says Darshan kept his promise and didn't sideline her role at any point.

"Dharmesh-ji wanted to present it in a special way and worked on every aspect of the role, right up to the costumes. He is a fair director who honours his words. Moreover, I never ever felt sidelined.

"My role was projected and promoted exactly the way it was promised. If anything, my role only increased at the end of the film. It is not as if my role was slashed on the editing table," she said.

She talks very highly of her co-star Priyanka. "Priyanka was very helpful and went out of her way to make me comfortable. She's a thorough professional."

Right now, Bhumicka is eagerly awaiting the film's release.

"I am getting really restless as the release date approaches. The film is sure to hit the bull's eye at the box-office. As for how much difference it will make to my career, I am already beginning to see the results."
