Amrita Rao sure knows how to let her hair down. The actor brought in the New Year in style by partying hard till the wee hours and indulging in her favourite foods and drinks. And before you start thinking that she's been a naughty girl, she laughingly clarifies, "Now, don't get ideas! By drinks, I mean only juice."

Looking back at 2010
The biggest highlight of 2010 was being back on board with the Rajshri family for my next film. They're like family to me, and after Vivaah, I really wanted to work with them. Unlike other years, 2010 didn't keep me too busy in front of the camera.
But I've made good use of the year making new friends from other fields (and keeping in touch with them, thanks to my new Blackberry), exploring new places in the city and connecting with spirituality. And yes, last year, I became the proud aunt of a gorgeous baby girl, all thanks to my cousin in the US. Some times you need to come out of the pond to get a larger perspective of life!
A fun-filled year
One of the fun things I did in 2010 was to discover Mumbai and its surroundings. I went to Dela Adventure, a resort in Lonavala where I did rock climbing, rappelling, bungee trampoline, archery and lots of adventure sports 30 feet above ground level. It was such an adrenaline rush.
I also indulged myself at Bade Miyan, a place I had only heard of. Eating on the bonnet of my car reminded me of the college days. I also went to the Nehru planetarium, which hasn't changed since the time I was a kid (laughs). Believe it or not, I also checked out the Rambo Circus. I was jumping out of my seat in sheer excitement.
Hopes for 2011
2010 has taught me some important lessons, both on the professional and personal front. I have learnt to make sure that I have the right kind of people working for me, and that I work with the right people. I have also realised that happiness matters above everything else.
So my mantra for 2011 is to be happy. In the coming year, I only want to think happy thoughts and be in the company of positive people. My last year's resolution was to polish my socialising skills, and I have fared quite well. In 2011, I wish to work with Aamir Khan, whom I admire greatly.
Next, I hope that my film Love you Mr Kalakar is a blockbuster, and that I get to work with Aditya Chopra. There is another wish too, but that I can't disclose right now (says with a devilish smile). It's a secret!
Who: Amrita Rao
What: Hopes for a great year ahead
