A native of Norway, the Nayee Padosan star came to India four years ago since she ‘‘loves acting.’’ Bollywood was Carving a niche the obvious destination since RONJOY GOGOI ‘‘roles for Indian actors are lim- ited in Norway because of the skin colour.’’And since, besides modelling, music-videos were a sure-shot way to success, she started out by featuring in Ha- ns Raj’s Chorni. ‘‘But, of cou- rse, my sights were focussed on films. I love acting — it gives me a platform to perform,’’ says Mehak who is also doing an item number in a forthcoming film. Traces of an acce- SPOT LIGHT nt are evident when Mehak speaks, but she claims to have overcome the language barrier. ‘‘I brushed up my Hindi by con- versing with almost everyone around, in it.’’ Having started out with a com- edy, Mehak is now ‘‘game for a romantic film, but it has to be intense and magical.’’ Meanwhile, having got a good break in Bollywood, Mehak is now hoping to carve a space for herself in the hearts of the viewers. ‘‘I want to act in more films and make myself acceptable as an actor. It is only then that I would have achieved my goal.’’ NIKITA DOVAL

SMS joke of the day Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings poking me in the ribs and telling me “u r next”. They stopped after I started doing the same to them at funerals!

Even before the release of her first film, Boom, seems to have let many-a-soul down. The actress re- portedly walked out of her next film. Reason? The director wanted her to wear a short backless dress, while all Katrina wants do is “good work” instead of “carrying off such meaningless sex labels.”

Woman receives 9,500 calls on cell A Florida woman, M Jenkins breaks record for receiving maximum calls ever in history on her cell. Reason? Her mo- bile phone number was given out as “God’s number” in Jim Carrey’s new film.

Says she, “In the film, God tries to reach a mortal, the character played by Jim Car- rey, by repeatedly leaving a phone number on his pager. Instead of the usual 555 prefix used by most US television shows and films, God’s num- ber is a normal seven digit number, which happens to be my cell number. And what’s even more, Her number even matches a call centre to a group of five talk- radio stations in Colorado. “The so-called clients are driv- ing me crazy,”said she. Star wore 63 pairs of shoes Legally Blonde 2 star, Reese Witherspoon has revealed she had 63 pairs of shoes specially made for her latest movie. She wears a variety of pink outfits for Legally Blonde 2, which sees her character Elle become an animal rights’ campaigner. The storyline means all of Elle’s shoes, designed by Jim- my Choo, had to be free of leather. And Reese tells that even Elle’s dog had his own matching out- fits in the sequel.

FACT OF THE MATTER Charlie Chaplin once won the third prize in a Char- lie Chaplin look-alike con- test.
