Pehli Baar Pyar Kiya Hai
After Abhijeet Sawant,
Meiyang Chang and Neha Sargam, Tia Kar will be the fourth Indian Idol contestant
to get an offer for acting in films. The charming teenager who wooed her
fans with her looks more than her vocal talent is all poised to act in
two big banner films featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Vidya Balan,
Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone.
In fact, time and again
during the contest all the three judges have spoken about her charming
looks more than her voice.
Sources in the know have
informed TellyChakkar that the airhostess-turned-singer-now-turned-actress
has been selected for two key roles in Pehli Baar Pyar Kiya Hai and Happy
Christmas. While the first one is directed by Sridhar Shetty and stars
Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra (both of them pairing after a very long
time) and Vidya Balan, and also a newcomer Mayur Kapoor, the second is
directed by Aziz Mirza and stars Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone.
When contacted, Tia confirmed
the development and said, “Yes, I have been selected for both the films.
In Pehli Baar Pyaar Kiya Hai, I play Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter and in
Happy Christmas I play the role of an angel. The films are expected to
go on floors from November and I should start shooting by the end of this
year.”
Does that mean her singing
career is going to take a backseat now? “Definitely not! I will continue
singing and practicing. However, whenever I will get a good role in films,
I will do it. But it has to be a meaningful role and one that makes an
impact,” explains Tia.
Tia’s move to films once
again proves that reality shows continue to be the best stepping stone
to the glamour world.
