Chitrangada still struggling to recover from ‘Geeta Rao’

Actress Chitrangada Singh, whose performance in her debut film "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi" was acclaimed by critics and audience alike, says even after nine years she is struggling to recover from her character of Geeta Rao.

"I have no idea if I'VE still managed to make people forget Geeta Rao and remember another character that I'VE played," she told reporters here Monday on the launch of the Indian issue of Vogue magazine.

"...I am still more or less struggling to recover from it and make people remember me by something else that I'VE played. I BELIEVE it's still probably the most special one," added the actress who has also featured in "Sorry Bhai", "Yeh Saali Zindagi" and "Desi Boyz".

Chitrangada, who took a break after her first film to start out a family with golfer-husband Jyoti Randhawa, says that being an actress was never her ambition.

"I started with something like that and that i didn't plan my Bollywood career. I DIDN'T wish to be an actress, never thought I'D be here. It came my way and it just went off really well," said the 35-year-old.

Talking about her upcoming films, she said: "My next release is 'I, Me Aur Main' which has John (Abraham) and Prachi (Desai) with me within the film. It's a couple of woman who roughly realises the person isn't quite committed to the connection and what does she do about it."

"My second film is definitely an excessively strange love story. It's opposite Arjun Rampal and directed by Sudhir Mishra. It's set in a sexual harassment case but it's about two individuals who was in love but at the moment are stuck in this situation and what happens to them and their life."

Mishra has already praised the chemistry between Arjun and Chitrangada in his yet to be titled film.
