‘I hope my parents are ‘kool’ with KSKHH’

ewbie Neha Sharma says that she was convinced about her upcoming film Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum only after the shooting got over and admits that she had a few reservations before signing on the dotted line given the film’s risqué humour, not to mention her nervousness about her parents’ reactions to seeing their daughter in a naughty, adult comedy.

“You have to see the film to believe it,” says Neha animatedly, “Writerdirector Sachin Yardi has really pushed the envelope with the humour. In fact we actors sometimes didn’t get the jokes despite the fact that they were hardly subtle. Like for example the scene where I say ‘ mujhe bade achche lagte hain’. I got it after a while but this elderly lady to whom I said it to, didn’t get it long after the scene was shot. Or this age-old joke about ‘ Rosemary Lelo’, which I wasn’t aware of. So many of us turned red when we were explained what these meant. I wonder how my mum will react.”

“Now that I have done it I am really happy. It’s a full-on commercial entertainer which the audience is going to enjoy to bits. I just hope that my parents are ‘ kool’ with the fun and humour,” laughs Neha who has also done a small lesbian angle with Sarah-Jane Dias in the film.

Though Neha had convinced herself that the film’s genre required naughty jokes and inyour-face one-liners, unlike other actors, she made sure she didn’t check the monitor after each shot. “Arrey, it’s very embarrassing to see my own dialogues on screen,” laughs Neha, “After canning a shot, when everyone from Riteish to Tusshar rushed around to the monitor to check how they had done, I stayed away from it. Even when someone called out to me and said that it was a job done well, I shut my eyes. Guess I won’t be able to avoid that while dubbing.”

She understands though that being in show business comes with its own challenges and being just two films old in the industry, she is learning to cope with it. “Still, there are boundaries set,” says Neha, “See, Kyaa Super Kool... is a sex comedy so there are bound to be naughty jokes. I had my inhibitions initially but I recognise that it’s going to be an out-and-out commercial entertainer so fingers crossed. The reactions to the promos have been outstanding!”
