The roof - Indigo Cafe in Andheri. The first actress - Adah Sharma.
The second actress - Now that's a surprise till you go on to the next page and figure out who she is and how she looks and talks. In fact, her passage to Bollywood is as similar to that of Prachi Desai.
She looks a bit like Sonam Kapoor and is as chirpy as her. It's another thing that her husband calls her a Leonardo Di Caprio look alike.
From the small screen to the big screen, she is making her debut in Bollywood. Her big break on to the television has been fabulously fortunate. And, being as she began her education and career in media back in the University of Leeds, U.K, it's actually taken us by surprise.
She has done mass communications and media studies and then you see her act.
Ok, ladies and gentlemen... put your hands together for the newest face being launched by producer Vikram Bhatt in his next film Phhir - Roshni Chopra.
A cup of cappuccino, fresh Malta juice and some freshly pressed apple juice was all it took to get us talking in the woody ambience of the cafe. But before we ordered for our drinks, Roshni orders for some even sweeter cheese cake. Then suddenly she asks Adah and me whether we would like to eat some dessert.
'No thank you' changed her mind and she orders for the cheese cake to be packed. But more than the food talk show, we were more interested to know how Roshni was signed in for Phhir where she plays the better half of Rajneesh Duggal.
The charming actress informs that it took just one text message from Vikram Bhatt to do the trick. He met her, narrated her the story and there goes the role in Roshni's lap.
Now not many know that both Adah and Roshni are co-stars in Phhir. Yes, and both had a freezing time in UK's Newcastle while filming. While Miss Sharma kept eating hot jacket potatoes to keep her warm, Miss Chopra loved her chow mien.
By the way, Chinese is Roshni's favourite dish and believe it or not, she can keep on eating Chinese seven days a week. And then both take out their list of complaints. Adah couldn't bear the heaters while Roshni couldn't bear the cold.
Adah loves doing yoga in the mornings while Roshni doesn't agree. How very diverse in their thinking. It's true.
One loves the snakes and the other hates it. And suddenly Roshni goes - "I am married and my husband thinks I look like Leonardo Di Caprio". What?
We couldn't digest the fact that Roshni's husband thinks his wifey resembles Di Caprio. She couldn't either and bursts out laughing. The topic thankfully moved on to the latest award function, The Star Screen Awards 2009, where Adah Sharma was nominated as the Best Debutant Female.
She didn't win is a different thing but that she enjoyed it was another. Taking her best friend to accompany her, she was clicked in her long flowing white dress on the red carpet.
By the way, Adah hates this 'bling bling' kind of outfits. She likes it plain and simple and not many know but she can get ready in fifteen minutes before going on the sets or any event. That's how quick Adah is.
Mrs. Roshni had an interesting story to share with us about what happened in Newcastle. Early morning at the hotel's breakfast table, Adah was seen missing. So when all the other cast and crew who had got up hours before the 9 am shoot were munching on their healthy food, Adah's mother was seen picking the best of the fruits for her daughter who was still getting ready in her room.
Why? Because she could change into her shooting outfit, eat her breakfast and still be on time to join the rest of the gang. Didn't we say she was quick? We go back to talking about films, animated films. Though we still feel that animation in India isn't up to the mark, both the beauties sitting opposite us disagree and try to recollect the name of one Hollywood film where the real life collides with animation.
One minute on and they couldn't crack it. We were trying to test their knowledge on the genre which they love seeing on the big screen. Finally, Adah gives up but Roshni doesn't. Wow! Did she remember the name of the film? Naaa.....she calls her husband...gets the name...and hangs up on him. Truly, an 'enchanting' experience. By the way, the film was called Enchanted.
Now if there was one person who was dearly missed in our chit chat over the coffee table was Rajneesh Duggal. Never mind, there is always a 'Phhir kabhi'.
The two hotties were so ready to pose for our camera. Adah had her black curly curls going on while Roshni had the brunette 'do. Give them a couple of guns and a pair of tight leather pants and they'll be ready for a killer photo shoot. Are the Bollywood photographers listening? The time to say 'alvida' had come.
Roshni had to shoot off into town for some work, Adah had to meet her friend on her way home and we had to rush back to draft this sweet lovely story where Adah and Roshni were able to create their own brand of tough, cute and shy girls....uninterrupted.
