Delhi, Dec 7 (IANS) Kingfisher calendar model Angela Jonsson says it
would be a dream come true if she got her first break with Shah Rukh
Khan or Salman Khan or Saif Ali Khan, but her priority will always be a
good story while choosing a movie.
'Sharing screen space with superstars like Shah Rukh, Salman and Saif
is a dream for any debutante, but for me a great story matters the
most. In the past, I have seen movies like 'Shaitan' and 'Delhi Belly'.
For me, both were interesting concepts and I would love to be part of
movies that depict today's generation,' Angela told IANS.
Born in Chennai to an Icelandic father and Mangalorean mother, she
won the 2011 Kingfisher Calendar Model Hunt and featured in the 2011
edition of the calendar.
It was reported that she had signed with director A.R. Murugadoss for
'Maalai Neram Mazhaithuli' and even started her shoot. However, the
21-year-old denies it saying that she is currently 'polishing my acting
skills'.
'I met with the director, but I haven't signed the movie yet so there
is no question of shooting the film. Meeting people is a wonderful and
learning experience for me but I am not in a hurry to sign anything or
everything without giving a second thought,' she said
'It's very important to make a good movie as there are many things to
be taken care of. I want to train myself before entering the film
industry and for that I am working on my acting, dance and diction
skills,' she added.
The model is quite popular among designers and walked the ramp for
the likes of Manish Malhotra, Vikram Phadnis, Tarun Tahiliani, Malini
Ramani and Shantanu-Nikhil.
And she gives credits to the Kingfisher model hunt for her success.
'Last year I was one of the participants at the Kingfisher Calendar
hunt and it was a fabulous experience. I learnt a lot and got the
privilege to tour the world with best mentors. Winning the title paved
the way to stardom,' she said.
This year she judged the Kingfisher Calendar Girl Hunt 2012, which
came on NDTV Good Times, and says it was a bigger responsibility than
being a contestant.
'This year the platform was the same but the role was different. I
went there as a judge for one of the episodes. The girls this time were a
little nervous as the competition was tougher. It was interesting to
share advice with these girls and get their feedback. The only tip I
gave to all of them was to work hard and try to give their best in
whatever they do,' she said.
