Now that Pooja Batra has stunned one and all with her riveting performance in 'Taj Mahal – An Eternal Love Story', life has suddenly begun to look different for the ravishing beauty.

"I'm zapped how just one role can change things forever," she gushes. "But I'm enjoying every moment of it," she adds.

Pooja has been flooded with congratulatory calls and flowery messages; all in just one week. And why not! A film critic describes her performance of the antagonist – scheming queen Noorjehan – as "the best thing to happen to the film".

What's more! The actress has started getting feelers for assignments all over again, while director Akbar Khan himself is keen to repeat her in his forthcoming film. Currently in Mumbai for the 'Taj...' promotions, Pooja's decided to stay back for a couple of months and reap the dividends of her new-found success and critical acclaim.

And come to think of it, one thought she was never going to take a U-turn to India after settling in LA. That's quite a comeback.
