Hansika Motwani to play a role opposite Govinda

Wednesday 25 June, 2008

Hansika, the one time tiny tot has sprung up soo soon! Soon we are going to watch her in a comedy opposite Govinda who is on his 40's, while Hansika is just 17. Acting with stars more than half her age, doesnt affect her in any way.

"I am not Hansika when I am playing a role. It is the character I am playing, so the age of my co-star does not matter to me at all," Hansika says.

Koi... Mil Gaya, Escape from Taliban, Jaago and Aabra Ka Daabra were some of the few films Hansika started her career with as a little girl, but at 16, she debuted as a full-fledged actress in the film Aap Kaa Surroor opposite composer-turned-singer-turned-actor Himesh Reshammiya.

"As an actor you have to play a character when you are asked to. Even if it is a 70-year-old character you have to perform it."

Now Hansika will be seen with the 40-plus Govinda in the forthcoming comedy Money Hai To Honey Hai. She doesn't mind the age gap and says getting an opportunity to work with a senior actor like him was a privilege.

"I consider myself very lucky to have worked with Govinda. I have learnt so much from him and it will definitely be useful to me in future. I think it is a big opportunity for any actor to work with him."

Hansika is playing the role of a television actor in the comedy.

"I play the character of Ashima Kapoor who is a television actor and wants to make it big in the film industry. The film is about the journey of the actress into the film industry."

She has also acted in serials like Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand, Hum Do Hain Na and Tum Bin.

Hansika gives credit to her family for shaping her career. "I idolise my mother and attribute my success to her. Without my mother and my family's support, I would not have reached this place."
