Meera Chopra Interview
What you miss the most
about home ..
My family, the food and
most of all my room! I just can't sleep anywhere else!
Pros of being a celeb
...
The preferential treatment.
The love people have for you. The fan following. Basically all the adulation.
The feature you get the
most complimented on ...
People go, "Oh you have
, such lovely hair" or "What i beautiful eyes you have" a lot!
If not an actress ...
A news reader. I really
wanted to do that. I even worked at a news channel in Delhi.
Your weirdest phobia ..
I meet everything head
on. I tryout new stuff and then decide whether I want to try it again or
never!
Totally addicted to ..
Besides cinema, it's
the internet, I check Face book about 8 times a day, and for even the smallest
query I go to online, and my favorite site is LiveIndia.com
Fave designers ...
Essentially, I am jeans
and T-shirt girl and not a designer clothes person
Fashion icon ...
Sushmita Sen. She is
the ultimate diva. She dresses with class and elegance. And when it comes
to looking hot, I admire Bipasha Basu. These two ladies, I really look
up to when it comes to being fashionable.
Among your contemporaries
...
Shriya is the only one
who has good taste and style, and carries herself well. But otherwise,
I think most South Indian celebs dress very loud. I'm sorry to say this,
but except for Shriya, I think nobody here comes even close to being called
fashionable!
The worst thing you've
worn:
I hate wearing the folk
style sari. I just hated the sight of it and did not want to wear it. But
I ended up wearing it anyway! I hope I won't have to wear it again!
Brand crazy ...
I hate brands! I find
them dull, plain and overpriced! As long the clothes fit well and suit
my style I don't pay attention to the brand.
The one thing you wanna
conceal with your clothes ...
My stomach. ALWAYS!
The one thing you wanna
accentuate ...
My shoulders! I make
a conscious effort to show them off!
What clothes will you
absolutely not wear for a movie?
A bikini!
Shopping ...
Shopping is the only
way to get me out of my lazy moods! I love to shop for clothes, bags and
shoes! I'm a very selfish gal when it comes to shopping, because I shop
only for myself. I just forget everybody else!
Friends & Haunts
I have no cinema friends.
There are people within the industry whom I talk to, but I cannot call
them my friends. All my friends are from college and from where I worked.
Rather than pubbing and going dancing, I prefer holidaying with my friends.
Books & Movies
In college, I was glued
to reading. As an English Honours student, I had so much to read: Shakespeare,
poetry and so many classics, that my reading phase is now
over! I prefer watching
movies. I don't mind even a C Class movie. But I just can't watch my movies!
Because every time I watch them, I feel that I could have done much better!
Spa
I go to the parlour at
least twice a month out of necessity. I go to the spa only on the day when
I look at myself in the mirror and I see a shabby person looking back at
me! I indulge in myself only if I need it. But once there, I get the complete
package!
Work out
I hate to work out! I
was always skinny, but since I came to South India, I've been adding on
the kilos. The worst part is that I even try to diet! I love junk food.
But now I do work out. Right now, I'm concentrating on toning up, because
I've lost a lot of weight and I'm not one of those gals who is crazy about
being stick thin. I look at some of them and think, "Gosh they might collapse
any moment!" It's just plain stupid, I think.
