Lara Dutta: Ooh La Lara!
|
Q. What does stardom mean to you?
A. A star by definition is unreachable. Earlier, a star was only seen in a film. Now the exclusivity isn't there - stars are accessible and are seen daily on television and in ads. And ever since the '70s, the heroes have always had the upper hand. But I guess that's how it's always going to be.
Q. You were the best among all the stars of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. How did you get that role?
A. It happened in a very bizarre way - both my parents had been hospitalized and I was sitting outside their hospital room when the offer came. I was completely distraught and recall telling them that I could not talk about anything for 5 days, which was really crazy as I had wanted to work with Yash Raj Films for years! But I always believe that whatever is meant for you comes to you.
Q. You are also endorsing Sri Ravi Sankar's The Art Of Living. How involved are you personally?
A. I do not believe in just pushing something with my celebrity status. I was introduced to The Art Of Living by a friend 8 years ago and it worked and still works for me. I have been following the techniques as a wonderful de-stressing tool. They help you focus and also deal with everyday pressures. Remember I was under 21 when Miss Universe happened, and that's not an age at which you are mature enough to deal with the pressures and the competition.
Making your mark and becoming an achiever is important, but this technique makes you do it in a proper, stress-free way. It veers you away from dangerous things like crash diets and eating disorders. When both my parents were ill, it helped me a lot too.
We are now working on spreading these techniques outside India and are getting great support.
