Not having any qualms to turn up in her first item number in Escape from Taliban director Ujjwal Chatterjee’s new Bengali flick Swabhumi, Nach Baliye star Dimpy Mahajan says she would love to give first priority to family. “For me small roles, or even character roles are okay in feature films. No wish to join fulll-time acting as my husband Rahul Mahajan, in-laws and family will take up my time first,” Dimpy said on location of the feature film Swabhumi on land acquisition in Bengal near here yesterday. Dimpy, who confirmed having no qualms to turn up in any item number, said she was okay with any eye-grabbing character in a hard core masala flick so long the character “entices me”.
“After turning up in Shiboprosad Mukhopadhyay-NanditaRoy’s Hello Memsaheb this is my second outing in a Bengali film,” she said.
“It is not a question of Rahul forcing his decision on me. He is more than happy that I am again facing the camera, I guess we have proved to be a great ‘jodi’ in Nach Baliye 5, he knows my passion for acting. It is my decision,” Dimpy, who and Rahul had created history as the first couple to marry on Indian reality television for a national audience, said.
Affirming she felt disturbed by the turn of events during the land acquisition agitation in Bengal and moved by people’s sufferings, Dimpy said “my character, a pub dancer, tempts the land mafia at a bar and I lip-sync to a peppy Shreya Ghosal number lal topke gelo choreographed by Madhaban.”
