Q. What convinced you to do the film? A. From my best friend to my nanny, I have grown up with Anglo-Indians in Kolkata. Q. Dutt says the character is unabashedly sexual. A. It’s not so much about sexuality as it is about abject loneliness. She’s a lonely person looking for an escape. Q. Any words of wisdom for wannabe oomph queens? A. In our time, glamourous girls were labelled vamps. I’m happy today heroines are bombshells and are having all the fun. | |

 Tara Rum PumShe was the lady with the lisp on the 1990s hit television show Tara and became a household name. Now, a clutchful of forgettable movies later, actor Amita Nangia, 40, is all set to step into the limelight as the reel-life wife of Abdul Karim Telgi in a film called Mudrank. “I’ve done shows like Jai Mata Di on DD and also the really popular Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hai on Star Plus. But none of them have been able to match the success of Tara,” she concedes. Maybe wishing upon a star might help. | |

The 28-year-old from Watford, who was adopted at the age of one from a Mumbai orphanage by Irish and Anglo-Indian parents, was quick to assert that she is “Catholic, not Muslim or Hindu”. Bothersome, indeed. | |
