Life seems to have taken a different turn for Pantaloons Femina Miss India World 2009 Pooja Chopra after she won the crown.
She is globe-trotting like never before and has hardly any time for herself. But the beauty queen-turned-actress claims that this is the life she always wanted. "These days I hardly have any me time, but I'm enjoying every moment of it. I don't want to relax, have boyfriends or even have time for myself. I asked god for this life and I have no regrets about it," says Pooja.
Pooja, who was in the city to shoot for a short film, is all praise for the Garden City. "I've always loved shooting here. The best thing about Bangalore is its weather — it's so pleasant. I have lots of friends in Bangalore who keep inviting me here. Every time I'm in the city, I plan to do some sight-seeing, but my hectic schedules don't permit me do that," she says.
As the conversation turns to the short film that was canned here, Pooja gets excited. "It is a touching tale produced by director Subhash Ghai's acting institute. It's about a woman who hails from a very humble background, fights against all odds in society and establishes a name for herself," says Pooja, adding, "Newcomer Sunny, who has a five-film deal with Subhash's production house, plays her love interest. It was a great experience working in the film. My character in this film is poles apart from the one I played in my first Tamil feature, Ponnar Sankar, in which I played a princess."
So, what's next in her kitty? "I've been approached for a couple of films — one in Hindi and another in Tamil. But it's too early to talk about it. I'm impressed by the industry down south. People are very welcoming. I want to try my luck in Telugu too. I'm also looking up north for some romantic entertainers like those by Imtiaz Ali and Karan Johar. My ultimate destination is Bollywood," she says.
