Loading ...When we see Hansika Motwani pictures on the net or see her opposite Himesh in his debut venture, very few of us actually think of the little Bawri from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi or the smiling child in so many TV serials.That just goes to prove how far this little girl has come and how fast (almost overnight) she has grown out of the kiddie frocks and pink hair bands. Hannsika Motwani better known as Hannsika is today an absolute rage with a prolific number of fansites dedicated only to her! We called to chat up with the kid while she was away in Hyderabad shooting for a film.A baby voice sounded from the other side of the phone. We could not help but think that in any other industry, this would have amounted to nothing less than severe child labour. However, we started our little chat with the young and pretty Hannsika…
So tell us something about your new film Money Hai To Honey Hai…
This is a comedy film and I play the role of a TV actress who wants to become a Bollywood star.
Isn’t that what you’ve done in your real life?
Well, the role is close to me… not that what is shown in the film actually happened to me. But it is very close to real life. It is an inspiring role and I hope I’ve been able to do justice to it.
From a single heroine movie, you’ve come to sharing screen space with two others. How does it feel?
Esha Deol does a guest appearance in the film. And Celina also has a different role. And being around them is anyways great. It gives me a boost. I have learnt a lot from them.
Multiple heroines always result in catfights. Did you fight?
They are such nice people. They pampered me. We were all like a family. (By now we were convinced that this little girl had grown up reading celebrity interviews and has probably mugged up some of the clichéd answers really well. So we decided to ask her something new. Something that we couldn’t probably ask anybody else…)
Himesh in your first film. And now Govinda. How does it feel to act with stars almost double or triple your age?
There’s nothing like actors being double or triple the age. Even if I’m told to act as a 60-year old, I would. Working with Govinda is an honour. Age does not matter at all. I am in fact happy to have worked with Himesh in my first film and now Govinda.
How is it working with Ganesh Acharya as your director in the film?
I have worked with him as a child artist. And then again in Aap Ka Surroor. He was the choreographer. So it’s really nice to work with Ganesh Acharya.
Tell us how does it feel to being a child artist on TV to being a heroine today?
It’s a huge difference. I have changed in looks. And my personality has also changed. TV was very time consuming. I had to shoot every day. There’s a huge gap between TV and mainstream Bollywood cinema.
So who would you like to work with? Any favourites?
I would like to work with everyone. Today everyone is big. And I would love to work with any of the big actors.
Don’t you rather think that a younger actor would look good with you than a Himesh or a Govinda?
That only the audience can tell. How can I say?
How does it feel to have so many fans? You do know that there are millions of fansites dedicated to you, right?
I am honoured to have my fans. It’s only because of them and the hope that they have given me that encourages me to do every film. If I can be called a star today, 70 per centof the stardom is because of my fans.
Many big actresses are doing action films. Would you?
I have done a drama Aap Ka Surroor and now am working in a comedy Money Hai To Honey Hai. So if the role demands it, I would do it.
What about kissing scenes?
(Giggles) It depends… (on what? We wonder) Well, if the story demands it…
So do you have a dream role?
Mmmmm… well not really…it depends…
Do you aspire to be a size zero anytime?
Not really. My motto is to be healthy.
Well so Hansika is definitely not going the Kareena Kapoor way. But she is just seventeen. So we never know what this little actress will grow up to be…what we do know is that she is still a little confused child who’s kind of lost with all the stardom thrust upon her. Well, here’s wishing all the luck to Hansika for a lot of success and fame in the future. Cheers!
