Starting her career with the acclaimed film YAHAAN, actress Minissha Lamba has acted in quite a few remarkable films like COPORATE, ANTHONY KAUN HAI?, ROCKY, HONEYMMON TRAVELS PVT LTD, DUS KAHANIYAAN in the last three years. But none of the films fetched any credit to her; the gorgeous actress is striving hard to make her dreams come true and prove her calibre.
The actress faces an acid test in the film SHAURYA, where she portrays the character of a war reporter. Here are the excerpts of the interview Minissha Lamba.
What do you understand by the word SHAURYA?
For me, the word SHAURYA means the presence of many positive characteristics within oneself, before commencing something courageous. SHAURYA doesn’t mean you forget all your jobs and come to the street showing off your power against something odd. SHAURYA means that you remain good-natured, but build yourself so tough that no one can utilize your decency.
Have you ever done anything that proves your SHAURYA?
See, SHAURYA never means that you just show off what you have done. Everyday we face several such situations where we have chances to protest against all odds. For example, if you travel in buses, you may witness someone teasing any lady or someone can tease yourself too. If you have the true courage, you can protest there. That will be your SHAURYA.
Your character in the film SHAURYA.
In SHAURYA, I am playing the role of Kavya Shastri, who is a war reporter. She takes the risk of her life for collecting news from the war front. It's a very important character for me; I can fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a war reporter, at least in my reel life, if not in reality.
In India, Barkha Dutt is known as the war reporter. Did you play your character under her influence?
Not at all. Since my childhood, Christiane Amanpour is the only inspiration behind my wish to become a war reporter. Christiane Amanpour is famous for her reports of Persian Gulf War as well as the reports of Bosnian War. Though she is basically from Iran, she is known as a French lady. Due to her reports of tensed war-zones of Kashmir, Czechoslovakia, as well as Middle East countries, she achieved incomparable fame. I have played my role keeping Christiane in my mind. In India, we see the requirement of more number of ladies in different areas of armed forces. I think women must come and explore this field of work also.
You are with Rahul Bose in this film. How was your experience working with him?
It was a nice experience. He is not only an excellent actor, but also a non-stop flow of energy. I am in the film with Rahul, but there is no scope of watching the chemistry between us onscreen, as it's not at all a romantic film. The film is all about the characters' duties and courage. The love story in this film is much matured. In this film, two people come close to each other in such a time while they need each other.
The story of the film matches with that of your first film YAHAAN. Besides the shooting location also was Manali. Did you feel nostalgic while shooting for SHAURYA?
Yeah, while shooting for this film I recapitulated many moments of YAHAAN. There were many times while we went to the same locations where we shot for YAHAAN. And we stayed in the same hotel where I stayed for YAHAAN. So, it was something like coming back home.
Please take us through your forthcoming films.
There are films like Anant Mahadevan's ANAMIKA, Sanjay Gadvi's KIDNAP and Sidharth Anand's untitled film. Amongst them, ANAMIKA will be released in coming April or May.
