/> Sophie, so good ! Overnight, veejay Sophie Chowdhary replaced Mandira Bedi in Sanjay Gupta's Alibaug.

"It was almost overnight," Sophie chuckles. "I landed from abroad in the morning. And by evening the role was mine."

She's so far been seen singing and gyrating to remix versions of evergreen hits.

But now veejay-actress Sophie Chowdhary is changing plumes. Her new ready-for-release album has absolutely original tracks, no remixes at all!

Sophie's also trying to make a movie career for herself. Last year she was a part Pyar Ke Side Effects. "This year there's more movies. I'll be seen in Sanjay Gupta's Alibaug.

I've known Gupta for many years now. He has watched me grow in my career through the various things that I've done. I remember how excited he was about Alibaug from last year when he first thought of making it.

I flew in from abroad last week. The same evening I was doing a role in Alibaug. Kismat ki baat hai. I play a character called Nisha, a very strong independent woman ...quite the way the way I am in real life.

Being a veejay and singer I can bring a lot of camera-friendliness to my character. And I've to tell you I'm the youngest actor in Alibaug."

Singing and acting were all Sophie wanted to do. "Veejaying just happened. The entertainment industry was very kind to me. I've no complaints.

I always wanted to be an actress. I came from London and my mother moved to Mumbai with me. If it wasn't for my family I wouldn't have been able to do it. I could never go from one producer's office to another. That's why I became a veejay.

People got to know me. But they also had a problem taking me seriously as an actress. Now hopefully they will."

Ironically she played a wanna-shine re-mix artiste in Pyar Ke Side Effects. A role she has out-grown.

"That was quite like me. A girl who could laugh at her self and dancing in her chote-chote kapde. I enjoyed singing and dancing to my re-mixes.

People forget I started with an original song Yeh dil sun raha hai in 2000 for Biddu when I was part of a girl band called Sansara. That was seven years ago...Oh my God! Do I see a grey hair?" she jokes.

"I got into the re-mix thing because my music company T Series saw it as viable.Now I'm back to my original roots."
