In this world of cut-throat competition, it seems nice when people admit the talent of their peers and admire them too. Yukta is just one of them. This leggy punjabi girl has qualms in accepting that Bipasha is the hottest thing in the bollywood right now. She even goes a step ahead and says, "If there is one Indian actress who should act in a Bond film, it has to be Bipasha Basu."

Herself, she'd love to do anything with substance. "I can do justice to the role of a village belle or a city-bred girl equally well because I am a balanced person even in real life. But I want to become a legend in whatever I do. Like every other Bollywood actress she would love to act with Amitabh Bachchan. But former Miss World Yukta Mookhey's all-time-favourite actor is Anil Kapoor and among the current lot, Ajay Devgan is somebody she'd like to work with. And she's excited about the prospect of cutting an album with Anu Malik. "I have trained in classical music and I am learning to play the piano now," says Yukta. That's not all; her talents extend to painting as well. "I love painting and sketching. It could be an abstract or a portrait, anything."

In the Capital to inaugurate Final Touch, cousin Vandana Chakravarti's beauty salon, Yukta insists that marriage isn't on the cards for her, "Not at least for another six years," she declares. What is the kind of man she is looking for? Sensitive, stable, a man firmly grounded to reality and with a good sense of humour is her answer.
