Beautiful, confident, diplomatic and fashionable, these are words that best describe Narmmadaa Ahuja
Beautiful, confident, diplomatic and fashionable, these are words that best describe Narmmadaa Ahuja. Govinda's little girl, who has her dad for a role model, is gearing up to make her Bollywood debut in a big banner film. "I am sorry but I can't reveal the details right now, so let's chat about other things" she says with a laugh. CS tries to get to know her better:
Ready to role
While I am excited about my debut film, I am not at all nervous about it. I had been waiting for quite some time for the right role, script and team, and my patience has finally paid off. I know that there are a number of star kids in the industry right now, but I am totally focussed on myself.
I am not bothered about the competition. If I came from a non-filmy background, I would perhaps look up to some of them, but that's not the case with me. I believe that every actor has his own unique style, and I will soon discover mine.
My dad has told me a couple of things; one is to be 200 per cent focussed on my work and second, to always trust my instinct. Though I would like to do a variety of roles, my dad would prefer to see me in light-hearted films, mainly because the audience always goes home feeling happy after a film like that.
Passion for fashion
Barring this film, I've also been busy shooting for magazine covers. I started reading fashion magazines from the age of 16. At that time, they weren't available in India so I used to get them from abroad. When it comes to dressing up, I like to wear what's in vogue. So, you'll find a lot of trendy stuff in my closet.
While I sometimes end up buying non-branded clothes, I believe in splurging on bags, glares and watches. Gucci, Tom Ford, Chanel, Prada, Hermes, Dolce & Gabbana are some of my favourite brands. I'm currently obsessed with Ray Ban glares with colourful frames.
I do feel that I need to curb my passion for retail therapy. You won't believe it, but I can spend the whole day at a MAC store checking out eyeshadows, glosses and blush. I have studied professional make-up, so that's another passion.
After work...
Though I am not a Page 3 person per se, I love to hang out with friends. On weekends, I like to dine out or catch a film.
As a kid, I used to spend quite some time on the film sets, but the atmosphere at home was far from filmy. Now that my dad has cut down on work, I get to spend more time with him. He's extremely chilled out as a person.
