Anushka Sharma: I am a considerable nomad

Anushka Sharma: I am a considerable nomad: In the event that Anushka had not been a character, she could have been a full time traveller.

Not the ordinary tourist who basically gallivants from one pretty spot to a different one.

She declares, "I don't enjoy sight viewing. For me, voyage is about meeting brand new individuals. It extends my skyline, specifically the treks that I tackle my own. "

She wishes to have more time and resources at her disposal. "I am quite a nomad.

If I could earn enough money, I would just travel for two-three years, from one place to another, without any plan," she says.


The travel bug got to her three years ago when she decided to pack her bags and go off to Galibore, a fishing camp located on the banks of the Cauvery river, for 10 days.

This was about the same time she had finished shooting for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. "Doing routine things and meeting the same people, I felt fidgety. I wanted to move out and meet new people," she says.

In Galibore, Anushka lived in tents in the midst of the wilderness. She was intrigued by an old German man, quietly sitting by the river. "This guy had travelled around the world. He knew so much about different cultures. I learnt there is more to life than what you do for a living. He ignited the urge in me to travel more and often."

The spark ignited then has grown stronger. Four months ago, Anushka took a trip to Ananda in Rishikesh, a serene place nestled in the Himalayas. Here, her attitude to life changed completely. "I met people from different countries. I have a habit of bickering about petty things in my life. One day while chatting, somebody told me, 'You are so young and you are already an actor'. I realsied that I should be happy with what I have achieved so far," she says.

While Anushka won't pick a favourite destination, she likes going off the beaten track and experimenting with the local cuisine. One such place is the Tenga Valley in Arunachal Pradesh, a tribal area inaccessible by road. "My dad was in the army and was posted there for two years. The locals are very friendly and simple. Conventional food items are hard to procure and it was the first time that I had a snake and a wild boar," she reminisces.

Due to her father's posting, Anushka also got to travel to Nal, an air force base situated on the outskirts of Bikaner in Rajasthan. "There was nothing much to do here. Interestingly, there were many local dhabas and I often got to taste authentic Rajasthani food,"she says. Next, on her itenerary is Bali. The world is just waiting to be explored.

Tanushree Dutta: Shedding dress is a popular mandate

Tanushree Dutta: Shedding dress is a popular mandate: Bollywood stunner Tanushree Dutta feels that actresses are requested to shed restraints in front from the picture clicker basically to indulge the people mandate and not in light of the fact that the script requests it.

"In reality, when folks approach you with the line that shedding of hindrances is the mandate of an exact screen role, they are in reality pandering to the general population mandate.

Statements like mandate of the role or the element are everything junk," Tanushree told IANS in a discussion.Asked whether she is ready to shed clothes if the character required that, Dutta said:

"In Bollywood, people have been making movies for more than half a century and they are made in such a way that you need not shed off all your inhibitions. I would really draw the line. I am no more a newcomer in Bollywood."

Tanushree had won the Femina Miss India Universe title in 2004, and made her entry into Bollywood in 2005 with the hit film Aashiq Banaya Aapne. She starred in Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets the same year, and came to be considered one of tinsel town's dark horses.

But she failed to live up to the initial expectations of her fans as most of her films except Dhol and Bhagam Bhag bombed at the box office.

Asked about the fate of most of her films, the former beauty queen said: "To what extent a film works is beyond me. My first film Aashiq Banaya Aapne did wonders at the box office. Then Chocolate was also quite popular, but it didn't have the same effect as the first one.

"I just look at my work and of course it's my responsibility to sign good films so as to make sure that people come to watch. But sometimes there are lots of things which are not in our hands. I always try to do the best I can. Some movies work, some movies don't," said the 26-year-old actor.

spending more than five years in Bollywood, and with an experience of working in nearly 12 Hindi and Telugu films, Tanushree now wants to do something different.

"At this point of time I really want to do a historical movie. May be it's going to take some time. I have covered various genres. I have done romantic, psycho-thriller, thriller, crime based, comedy, romantic comedy. Now I want to do a periodical. I also want to do a musical film," she said.

Tanushree nurtures a dream of working on a hardcore subject and literature-based Bengali film in the coming years, but says that she hasn't got an impressive offer yet.

"I have always wanted to work in a Bengali film. But till date I haven't got that kind of offer that would impress me.

"Bengali filmmakers have come up with subjects that are so touchy and hardcore. Literature- and sahitya-based movies are made here. I want to work in literature-based movies in Bengal as this is the specialty of the Bengali film industry," said Tanushree, who has completed a month-long acting workshop in the US.

Tanushree said she wants to sign movies, but she doesn't have the "psychology" of having back-to-back releases in a short span.

"I am planning to sign movies. Actually I don't have that psychology of having two back-to-back releases in three months. I don't know what I am going to sign next or when I am going to sign next. But one thing I can guarantee, that it's going to exciting," said Tanushree.
