Ankita has a new definition for show business: It is a business where you 'show' all you have. In common parlance, you have assets, you reveal them, that's what you come to the industry for. That is precisely what she meant at a press meet on Monday. When a scribe asked her if she wasn't exposing too much in films, she shot back, "What's wrong with exposing? Every actress worth her name has been exposing. You name the star and I'll tell you the films they've exposed." And she goes on to add, "Cinema means 'show' business and you can't avoid exposing."Forget about avoiding, she seems to want to reveal it all with all the enthusiasm of a teenager evenbefore the Tollywood filmaker tell her. The actress was all too eager to explain how she has really 'shaped' up, that is, improved her curls and the curves by doing yoga and fitness exercises. "If you want to continue as a heroine, you have to maintain a good figure," she tells the scribes. "And, with the yoga and fitness exercises, I'm like a livewire now."
Through the press conference she was taking an opportunity to announce to the filmmakers that she has a fab figure now and that she would reveal it all for them. In their films that is. Whoever it is. Big, small, doesn't matter. Poor Ankita, she is still under the impression that she can lure the filmmakers into casting her in glamorous roles.
She doesn't seem to know that the life of a heroine is not more than five years in the industry. When reminded of that, she says, "Life is a rollercoaster ride, sometimes you go up, and sometime you go down. Even my career is like that. I can boast that I have some good films to my credit and many more like to come." There is no harm in dreaming but becoming desperate can not only mar your prospects but also your sanity.
And she takes a quick trip down memory lane to explain the kind of roles she has essayed and what she likes the most. "When I look back, the best character I liked and the people also liked was the one I played in Simhadri. Even now I like such bubbly roles. Life should be a merry go round. And that is what I want to see in my roles."
It's like repeating the same thing again and again, Ankita. We all know the role you played in Simhadri. You were only hankering after Junior NTR and taking every opportunity to give 'yourself' to him.
Presently, she says, she is acting opposite Aakash in a film produced by Supergood Films. And wants us to believe that she has a good role which has lots of scope for performance.
She has also made it very clear that she wouldn't do any more item songs. And with Mumaith Khan around, who is offering her any?
