She was called the 'Ek Do Teen' girl in her hometown in the UK. And Geeta Basra is ready to make all the right moves to get noticed in Bollywood. Her debut film Dil Diya Hai is with the super successful combination of Aditya Dutt-Emraan Hashmi. The actor is visibly excited. "The role I have is definitely worthy of a debut. A lot of people think I have a very sexy image given the songs that are on air, but I definitely have a very cute and naughty role."
The 20-something actor is actually a popular model in the South and has also spent the last two and a half years modeling for brands like Blistex, Indian Oil and more. "But I never wanted to be a model. Bollywood was always my eventual aim." While she is considering offers down south, she's waiting for the box office jingle to sign her next film. Quiz her about controversies and rumours flying off the press and she says with a laugh, "There's no catfight between Emraan and Aditya for my affections. In fact, Emraan's girlfriend has been with us in London whilst we were shooting."
While her determination and smile may hide the struggle, the actor is determined to make her mark. Having quit her studies in the UK halfway, she says matter-of-factly, "I want to be known as an actor. Not a girl from London playing an NRI or not just someone with a hot body!"
