Excerpts from her interview:
How does it feel to be FHM’s first Bollywood cover star?
Am I really the first Bollywood star on your cover? I’m extremely happy (laughs). You hear so much about the magazine... everyone is talking about it.

From supermodel to superstar – that’s what one calls a ‘super’ transition!
I don’t think I could have asked for a better launchpad. I never thought I’d become an actress, but here I am. I got this fantastic opportunity to work with such a talented crew and it was too good to resist. Whilst modelling, I did get a lot of offers but I hadn’t considered getting into Bollywood at that time. When Farah offered me Om Shanti Om, I was quite confident of myself and ready to try my hand at Bollywood.

Men call you a ‘sex goddess’. How does that feel?
A what? (Laughs) Am I? Er... I really don’t know how to react to that one. Thank you, that’s all I can say. It’s a huge compliment. Wow... I’m flattered!

The actress is nostalgic about her first diamond. "I got it from my father. It was a diamond ring which belonged to my grandmother."

The rest of the diamonds she acquired along the way "with experience and they have been priceless".

About the rumors in the media regarding her pregnancy, she said, "If I walk too carefully or if I stand with dupatta draped on one side, the media will be rife with speculation the next day. So I am myself, going along with the flow."
