Miss India Earth 2003 Niharika Singh says Bollywood is her next stop and she hopes to get some good offers very soon.
Don't you think beauty queens are hypocrites when it comes to flaunting their social commitments of doing charity work?
No. I don't agree that actresses, beauty queens merely talk about such commitments. Many of them are not hypocrites but are genuinely wedded to social issues.
Usually girls are thought to be mere sex symbols that show off their body in skimpy clothes. On the contrary, I think it is a myth that winners take up a cause to keep abreast with the trend. It is wrong to perceive that just because you are glam girl, you cannot feel for the downtrodden. Despite my busy schedule, I find time for Rotary Club social activities or making a blood bank program a success or taking part in polio awareness campaigns. I think Diana Hayden, Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen still associate with their causes.
General perception is that beauty queens cannot act? What do you have to say?
It is erroneous to presume that models cannot act. Beauty queens are selected after grueling competition. Only a very talented girl can act and models are very talented. If this had not been true, film producers would not have opted for models to play lead role in their films. A large number of models like Lara Dutta, Sushmita Sen, Dia Mirza, Bipasha Basu, Aishwarya Rai have joined the bandwagon. That is why Bollywood simply loves Miss Indias. I think male models also make good actors because they are selected after a talent hunt.
