Sameera’s no to bold scenes

BOMBAY—Sameera Reedy is known as the desi Jennifer Lopez in Bollywood. Though she appreciates this as a compliment, she says no to erotica, which includes smooching and bold scenes. She explains why she is no keener on doing such roles. She says her steamy scenes with Anil Kapoor in ‘Musafir’ had created waves and that the Indian audience isn’t yet ready for such erotic scenes. Is she going for an image makeover? She replies, “No, but, I won’t do such scenes till the audience is matured. I shall play bubbly, young characters in my forthcoming movies.”
In spite of her no for erotica, Sameera is on top, professionally. She is working in Mira Nair’s film Migration. What’s this all about? “The movie is on AIDS starring Shiney Ahuja and Irrfan. The movie will release next year.” She refuses to comment on gossips taking round about her personal life. She wonders from where all these rumors originate. She puts at rest all the link ups with her co-stars like NTR Junior, director Sanjay Gupta and a European DJ. —Agencies
