Jiah Khan is making lots of news these days. Director Ram Gopal Varma's latest protege, set to woo
audiences with "Nishabd", is being touted as his best discovery since Urmila Matondkar.
Doesn't she feel "Nishabd" is a bold role to essay at the very onset of her career?
"Luckily, the director has beautifully balanced my role in the film. There are multiple shades to my
character. I am glamorous and funny. I laugh, I crack jokes and I cry. I am more than happy with the way it
has shaped up," the newcomer added.
Jiah is also a trained opera singer and recorded six pop tracks when she was 16. Now she wants to record
an album.
"Yeah I have sung the song in Nishabd all by myself. I love singing and mostly sing to entertain myself. But
you'll have to wait and see what it's all about. But I love trance.
I've written and composed the music of a few tracks myself with the help of friends. I have learnt classical
opera since a very young age. I have learnt the piano. I have been learning dance for nine years. Now I
would like to do something experimental, a mix between Madonna, lounge music and Britney Spears," she
tells.
