At the time when the entire country is pouring out its wrath at the inhuman sexu al assault on a Delhi-based

woman, Chitrangada Singh is all set to have her film Inkaar hit the marquee. The project is incidentally based on sexual harassment at workplace and the actress feels it is best to hit the nail hard when the iron is hot. You are from Delhi. How angry are you at this incident? I went to college in Delhi and I used to stay in uation is really bad there. It can be due to the p between people. Only education and marches are ld be attained quickly and I want it as early as a hostel there. I think the sit big cultural and traditional ga not going to help. Justice shou tomorrow.

You even had your long and beautiful hair chopped off for your new role? It was needed for my role, as it spans over seven years. My character goes on fr om an out-of-college graduate to becoming the head of a company. There is a defi nite change in the looks. Believe me, I was not keen to cut off my hair in the b eginning. I was willing to go for any other kind of transformation. Finally I di d and the response to the act has been pretty good. Was it tough for you to do intimate scenes? We did make a plan on how to go about it. It is very important for an actor to b e comfortable while doing such scenes and Arjun (Rampal) made me comfortable. Ac tually we met each other on a flight to Delhi and had a long conversation and it helped us build a rapport. Were there many retakes? I was nervous while enacting some sequences. I had a mental block. Arjun would k eep the atmosphere light on the sets by cracking some jokes in between the shots . However, we still ended up doing several takes. Does sexual harassment exist in Bollywood? It is everywhere and the industry is no exception. However, I think it is compar atively lesser here than at other places. Nowadays for actresses, there is a lot of work available so you can decide who you want to work with.
