This is thread will be Conducting The interviews of the Stars.....

First one is

Tushar Kapoor...

How was the experience performing on stage for the first time at the Bollywood Awards night?
Great! Since it was for the first time that I was performing on stage, I was slightly nervous. But thankfully things went smoothly. I performed a medley on my father's songs. My father was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award hence the performance. Few know that that the same day also happened to be my birthday. And boy, it turned out to be the most rocking night of my life.

Insan has just released. So what other films are you looking forward too?
Currently I'm excited about my sister Ekta's Kya Cool Hain Hum. The film is a laugh-riot. My friends think that I'm serial killer though I'm not. This leads to funny situations in the film. This is for the first time that I have attempted to do a full-fledged comedy film. There are other film offers too. Talks are on. But I don't want to talk about them till I actually sign them.

What kind of roles would you like to do? Have you been approached for the roles of your choice?
I would love to play the character Tom Hanks played in Dead Calm. So path breaking!

Would you be open to playing the character he did in Philadelphia?
Of course! Provided the director is good. There's another film I had seen recently called Monster. It is about prostitute who is a serial killer. Such roles need to be handled by a good director otherwise they would look very caricature-ish in Hindi films. The film should not be sleazy or cheap. There are very few directors who can handle such subjects like Shyam Benegal, Ashutosh Gowariker, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Because once you mess up with a role of such magnitude, no one comes back to you and your reputation as an actor can get killed.

Don't these limitations frustrate you as an actor?
Directors are now opening up to concepts never tried before. New directors are getting opportunities. New avenues are opening up. People are commercializing their films so that they can reach out everybody and get creative satisfaction as well. The change is slow and that does frustrate one. But it is happening gradually. Also the star system is fading. Stars won't be paid huge amounts anymore because the makers know they don't deserve it. Everything is going to get so systematic. People are going to get paid for their merit. Films are going to get into a corporate mode. And that is happening!

Okay what aspect of filmmaking do you enjoy the most?
If I give up acting, I will get into production. I enjoy production. But I can't imagine myself as a director. I can't see myself visualizing scenes, writing dialogues and scripts. That is just not me!

Mahima Chaudhary

"I have shared with strangers dark secrets I haven’t told my mother!”

What character do you play in Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye?

I play this woman called Gulab. But life is not all sweetness for her. There are thorns too. She is married. And divorced! Naseer Abdullah plays my husband in the film. But she always had this dream that she should get married to a person who does believe in making marriage work. She does not believe in divorce. There are number of characters in the film and we are stuck at the airport. Arshad Warsi also happens to be there. He is the guy who knows me since childhood and has had a crush on me ever since. He has always loved me. And he has always been confused. What happens after that forms the crux of the story!

How was it working with reporter turned director Samar Khan?

Samar and I had been good friends. So when a friend offers you to work with him in a film, you take as a compliment. When we began shooting we were together 24X7 and we had a wonderful time. If you notice Samar has chosen his friends to work with him. When you work with friends what happens is that there is a certain camaraderie and rapport you share on the sets. It helped the work get completed faster.

It is here that you also shot with SRK. How was the feeling considering that you had last shot him with Subhash Ghai’s Pardes?

See, SRK and I continued to meet at parties and functions so it is not as if we had lost touch or something or met only after we had shot the last scene of Pardes.

Is it true that the film is similar to the Tom Hanks starrer The Terminal?

The only similarity between The Terminal and KMHJ is that the characters are held up at the airport because of flight delay. In The Terminal there was a single character, Tom Hanks, held up at the airport while in this film there are group of people. It is at times like these when you have nothing to do at all that you begin talking to strangers. You open up to them and tell them your deepest secrets that I may not even have told my mother. Believe me I have shared with strangers dark secrets I haven’t told my mother!

KMHJ is about people getting stuck at the terminal. Has any such incident happened to you in real life? There have been incidents where I have opened up to strangers in airports. I don’t remember getting held up (thinks)… yeah once we had to go some place in Canada. There was a show there. But there was no direct flight to that place. So we had to get down some place, I don’t distinctly remember, and take a connecting flight from there. Now we got held up at that place because the flight got delayed due to some reason. We reached the airport at 6 in the evening. And the time of the show was also at 6. The location was a three-hour drive from the airport. By the time we reached the venue the show was over. We could just spend a few moments with the audience who had come there. That was sad!
