The allure of Assam has mesmerised Sanjay Leela Bhansali, no less. The picky filmmaker handpicked Monikangana Dutta for her unconventional looks, casting her opposite Hrithik Roshan in his forthcoming 'Guzaarish'.
But,heyyyyyy, the leggy model has no intention of quitting the catwalk! Even if she makes the grade in cinema. "Modelling has given me the kind of exposure that I'd never imagined," declares Moni in a media chat. "I've walked the ramps of Paris and Milan and a top modelling agency is handling my work. It would be a fool to let go of such a career. Bollywoood may give me fame, but modelling has given me international exposure."
Regarding her departure from the stereotypical model belle, Moni avers, "I don't fit into the typical looks of a Bollywood heroine, either."
Her ardent dream isn't centred around any male. "Relationships are a waste of time," she smirks. Rather, her heart beats furiously for her native state. "I want to do a lot for Assam, more in terms of charity than fashion." Saucy body, caring heart.
