Renee not okay with stereotype­s

Reality TV star Renee Dhyani (right) hasn’t even started her showbiz career properly, and she is already battling stereotypi­ng. “It’s funny how quickly people tend to stereotype others. After I came out of the Bigg Boss house, I have been getting a lot of offers. But mostly, all the roles that I get offered want me to be a vamp,” says Renee.

“I feel it could be because I am a little outspoken and that might have come across on Bigg Boss too. Or it could also be an extension of the image from the other reality show I did for a youth channel a while back,” says Renee, adding, “Whatsoever, I am not ready to give in.”

Explaining her point of view, Renee says, “I don’t have a problem being a vamp onscreen, but I don’t want to play a woman who is out there to scheme and ruin lives. I am totally okay playing a character with negative shades, but the thing with TV is that they present one woman as an absolutely negative person while the other holier-than-thou,” she says.

“But I will take up a film with that kind of role because movies have better developed characters and are not one-dimensiona­l,” says the Delhi girl, who is in the city on a break.

“I am in the Capital for a fortnight. There is nothing like sleeping in my father’s lap and eating from my mom’s hands. The weather is lovely, it’s very pleasant. And my sister and I have been going shopping everyday,” says Renee, adding, “And I also got a chance to talk to my parents about Lalit (actor Lalit Bisht, who she is dating). My parents are happy that I am happy with him, and they like the guy already.”
