When asked how she'd survive in big bad Bollywood, newbie Sherlyn Chopra has a mischievous smile on her face. "How can I survive? I won't! See, I don't have long and
lustrous hair. I don't wear contact lenses. I don't do 17 smooches. And guess what! I don't even hail from UK. Oh God! What am I gonna do?"
The actress, who changed her name from Mona to Sherlyn and exposed all she could in a number of inconsequential skin flicks, Sherlyn is now seriously considering to eke
out a long-lasting acting career in Bollywood.
To begin with, she has decided not to take any second fiddle roles. Perhaps that is the reason why she turned down filmmaker Sunil Darshan's offer of playing Kangana
Ranaut's sister in Shakalaka Boom Boom.
Although she did play a miniscule role in Darshan's Dosti - Friends Forever , this time around she wanted "a meatier role".
On another front, Sherlyn has contradicted herself by doing an item number Lut Le Gaya in Raj Kanwar's film Raqeeb: Rivals in Love.
Sherlyn says the item number she is doing is no ordinary one. It has been composed by Pritam Chakraborty and sung by Alisha Chinai.
As for skin exposure, Sherlyn says she doesn't mind exposing as long as her role is of substance.
Now, this statement is open to interpretations.
Ask the newcomer if there's a role she would die for and pat comes the reply, "Well, there is one role that I would rather kill for and that is Al Pacino's part in 'And Justice
For All'. It's my all-time dream role." Oh! And we thought the Chopra girl's killer instincts were limited to her role in 'Red Swastik'. - SAMPURN
