Pyaar Mein Twist may have been thanda at the box-office. But the film seems to have triggered of a frenzy of marriage proposals for its young leading man.
Sammir Dattani is flabbergasted.
"I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just the goodie-goodie noble progressive guy I played.You know, the nice wholesome clean-cut boy who loves the girl and adores her mom. It's every mom-in-law's favourite fantasy. My Gujarati community seems to have taken my image in the film quite seriously. Suddenly every Gujju family with a marriageable girl is interested in me!"
Post the release of Pyaar Mein Twist Sammir has received as many as six marriage proposals. "It's crazy! They've all come through my mom, and they all insist that I
should immediately consent to marriage! I've never come across such a situation before. I'm pretty sure if I had played a rapist or a serial killer in Pyaar Mein Twist my prospective moms-in-law would've put padlocks on their daughters' doors."
Sammir of course isn't interested in marriage. "Not right now I'm only 23. My career has just taken off. Marriage can wait."
