Sophie Choudry has found a brand new friend ” in American TV chat show host Jay Leno. She not just dressed him up for a up to date minifilm, she also gave music to the project that includes Leno's Indian car
And courtesy their budding closeness, the singer-actor will now host the international celebrity on his forthcoming trip to India.
Leno, known for his extensive car collection, recently welcomed a low-cost Indian four-wheeler into his elite garage. He even commissioned a minifilm to capture all of the process — from production to its ultimate delivery in Los Angeles.
The British-Indian singer created the background music for this project. And naturally, Sophie is thrilled about her association with the international celebrity. “I’m glad that they decided to make use of three of my songs for the film. It’s an honour to part of his pet project,” she says.
Though she hasn’t met Leno yet, she’s in contact with him via e-mail. In fact, it was her idea to decorate him up in traditional Indian attire for the minifilm. She notes, “I suggested to the team they get Jay out of his usual denims and put him in a sherwani for this episode. Fortunately, they loved the speculation so I got them connected with Delhi-based couturier Manav Gangwani who designed it.”
Ironically, the outfit cost greater than the car, a Tata Nano! In keeping with Sophie, Leno is gearing as much as visit India next year.
“I’m looking ahead to hosting him in 2013. I’d be very happy to turn him around Mumbai and introduce him to a few of the best folks within the city and fellow car-enthusiasts like himself.
He arranged an Indian dance troupe in LA to welcome the auto but I’ll be giving him a grand Indian welcome,” she adds.
Making a comeback
For an extended while, Sophie have been out of the media’s radar but she insists she was busy performing live to tell the tale stage and company events.
“I guess I need to be going out more and meeting people for good work,” the Mumbai-based siren assures, “You’ll be seeing more of me within the future.”
