“I think the role of a very young girl’s relationship with an older man sought me out. You won’t believe this, but from the age of 16 I’ve been offered such a role three times”, says Jiah Khan excitedly as debut film will hit the screens tomorrow.
“I wouldn’t like to make a career of unconventional films. I’ve grown up watching masala films. I fell in love with RGV’s Rangeela at the age of 13. Though I lived in London I only wore salwar-kameez. And I’d speak only in Hindi in school, never in English”, adds Jiah Khan.
Jiah claims that she is an Indian even though she was born and brought up in London. She wants to maike her presence felt in the commercial form of Hindi cinema.
