But why would a well-established model like Muzamil want to gatecrash into parties seeking a break in films? That's exactly Muzamil thinks too. "I am not a desperate wannabe who needs to do such a thing. And I am hardly seen in the party circuit. "
When he learnt that it was none other than director Pooja who had made the statement the actor remarked: "It's so stupid on Pooja's part to have made such a cheap comment. I had started getting offers for movies on the 12th day of my arrival in Mumbai. But then I was not ready for acting, I wanted to give time to my modeling career. "
He further clarified that it was Pooja who showed willingness to cast him in her movie and hence a meeting was arranged, while it was Mahesh Bhatt who much later decided his lead role in "Dhokha".
"Mr. Bhatt wrote the character after meeting me. I respect him for his intelligence and generosity. He knows exactly how to groom a newcomer. What Pooja said in the interview was cheap, I didn't expect this at all. "
We hope at least now Pooja will learn that not every newcomer is a complete greenhorn. For one, Muzamil has just turned the tables on her. -Jayant Mishra
