Her next is Prakash Jha's "Chakravyuh" and and it will see her as a tough cop.

Asked if she is open to women-centric roles, the actress said: "If it comes my way, I will do it. But it also depends a lot on filmmaker and the script. It's not that I am thinking of it right now, but would do it if something really good comes my way."

"It is a show for the Indian market because they wanted Indians to see it. They wanted a woman to present it because you don't see a woman watching such shows. I thought if I am presenting it, not only the style statement would be there, but I hope a lot of women will watch the show, " she said.
As she is moving ahead in Bollywood, the 24-year-old says her mentors Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt, who launched her in Bollywood with "Jannat 2" and repeated her in "Raaz 3", will always remain important for her.
