But Buddha says, don't lose your cool. The modelling industry's latest offering to Bollywood, Monikangana Dutta says, 'Thank you, I have a boyfriend already' Hrithik Roshan's girl in this week's release, Guzaarish, is an Assamese ramp model. Monikangana Dutta is hardly amused with rumours linking her to co-stars Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Roy Kapoor. It's caused a slight awkwardness since she is dating an entrepreneur. "I'd never date anyone from my work-space. And I'm certainly not going to marry an actor," she says.
But the 5'8" beauty says she didn't mind Roshan on screen, although it was strange considering she has watched his films since she was a class 7 student. "Luckily he was as handsome and gallant in person as I had imagined he would be," she laughs.
Roshan went out of his way to make her comfortable, she admits, landing on set to support her even when he wasn't needed for the shot. "During one sequence when Sanjayu00a0 Bhansali sir switched off the air-conditioning and fans to get a deathly stillness on camera, I landed up sweating. Hrithik sent his boy with a portable fan for me. It's such gestures like these that you remember."
Since Monikangana is a practising Buddhist, she doesn't allow rumours and backbiting to get to her. "I spend two hours every morning meditating. I don't allow myself to lose my cool. What's the point of being a Buddhist when you don't practise what Buddha preached?"
On Sanjay Leela BhansaliNot once did I get a taste of his famed moods. He is cool on set.
