Former Miss India Tanushree Dutta says "Chocolate" is an ideal debut film to showcase her acting skills.

However, every time she starts talking about her role in the film that she says is very close to her heart, she unintentionally ends up describing her second film - "Aashiq Banaya Apne".

"That's because I have been shooting round the clock for 'Aashiq Banaya Apne' and Emraan (Hashmi) has been paired opposite me in both the films. No doubt both the films are important, but 'Chocolate' is like a first baby and it will always be very special," Tanushree says.

"Aashiq Banaya Apne" and its director Aaditya Datt have a very special place in Tanushree's heart. The two are known to share a great rapport with each other from the time they met on the sets of the film.

"Aditya and I are great friends no doubt but that's all. The so-called linkup between us is media-created like most other linkups in the industry. I enjoyed doing the film because most of us - myself, Emraan, Aaditya and Sonu Sood - belong to the same age group," she says.
