Amrita Rao: I've never gone on a date
She made her debut in 2002 with Raj Kanwar's Ab Ke Baras. Yet, in her five year career, Amrita Rao is still known as the Main Hoon Na girl.
Priyanka Jain caught up with Amrita as the actress spoke about her film, director Sooraj Barjatya, and marriage. Excerpts:
What is Vivah about?
The film speaks about more than just two people falling in love with each other. It's about the depth and purity between a man and woman relationship which Soorajji has captured well. It's all about values, tradition, and commitment that is not so common in today's generation. People who have seen the rushes of the film say, 'it's so nice to see a boy give so much respect to the girl.' The influence will be good for the children.
How did you prepare to play a village girl?
Poonam, my character, is from a small town. She has no parents and lives with her uncle and aunt. When you grow up in someone else's house, there is a distinctive change in your behaviour -- you become much more sensitive and embody responsibility at a younger age, and are more mature than most girls your age. That's how Poonam is.
The marriage proposal comes from a rich business family, which has a very contrasting background from hers. The girl is a simple, pure person who does not get bedazzled by the sudden connection of wealth. Soorajji wanted me to maintain subtlety in my performance. I have never hassled any director with so many questions, but he was very patient, like a teacher. I had to work on the language nuances too.
Did you have to prepare specifically for this film?
Before meeting Soorajji for this film I had gone to Delhi for a day. But due to floods in Mumbai we had to stay back, and decided to tour Mathura and Vrindavan. I visited the Radha-Vallabh temple, the Bake Bihari temple and fell in love with the place. Their culture and spirituality, and the respect they have for others is so touching. They don't say 'hi', 'hello,' they say 'Radhe Radhe.'
I observed the girls there, and visited the temples so that when Soorajji narrated the script I knew where Poonam was coming from; knew her background and culture. It was such a beautiful coincidence. In this film my first dialogue is 'Radhe Radhe.'

Note: This is not Amrita Rao's official website. It's highly unlikely that she visits this site or even knows about it. So please dont post any personal messages to her as it wont reach her.
But still if you want to just show the world that how much you love her, please go ahead and do it :-). Probably someday we will try to send the message across to her.
