off the record 2

hi..this is my second episode of off the record in which i reveal the off the records of my interviews with the celebrities whom i had met for my magazine..

naughty odo..

odo is actress simran's kid.i fixed an appointment with simran for a coverstory in my magazine..she accepted the interview with the only condition to put herself and her son odo in our wrapper...convincing my editor for the cover page is not that easy..just to make a different wrapper we decided to work with simran..finally we fixed up a time with simran at her residence.the time that was fixed was 9.30 pm..though it is little late for me i accepted it just because iam meeting simran..myself and my photographer reached her residence at 9pm..cute little odo opened the door and welcomed us..odo is a very friendly kid looking exactly like simran,he dint take much time to mingle with us..i could see more than 100 different variety of cars in the drawing room and show case full of cars..he was talking only about the cars..simran came little late around 10.30 pm..she was very simple not that glamorous in person but was very attractive..she couldnt even speak to me as she was very hungry..she had her dinner with our permission and offered us gulab jamuns..surprisingly slim beauty simran's dinner was little heavy..soup,big bowl full of ladysfinger fry,1 bowl dhal,2 plates rice,4 gulabjamuns..in the meanwhile i had an interesting conversation with odo..there was a huge car in his house which was gifted by actor danush for his birthday.later we came to know that the little odo is danush's adrant fan..he was explaining to me about the seating arrangements in his huge car..he told me that he will drive the car with his mom in the front,his dad and freinds at the back seat..i unnecessary asked him where would i sit in his car..naughty odo quickly replied ''you in the dikki''..everybody including simran burst out of laughter..for me it was embarassing but i somehow managed..then we started the photoshoot and interview at around 11pm..cute little odo cooperated well for the photo as a result the photos turned out good..i got back home at 12pm but it was not tiresome as i enjoyed working with simran and her interesting kid..simran was very sweet,she dint try to impress me with some artificial talk,she was just herself which is very special about her..simi's husband deepak helped her for the entire photoshoot managing odo..the article turned out really well with simran and odo on the wrapper..

agressive laila..

we always see laila as a sweet,bubly,joyful lady but i feel its just an onscreen image.she was very rude to me in person and i personaly had a very bad experience with laila.i approached laila for an interview about her married life and her 2yr old son darian..that time she was in mumbai,so we fixed up a telephonic interview.in course of the interview she asked me whether her photo could be carried out in our magazine wrapper.we dint promise her anything about the wrapper because we were not sure about the photos. as said by my editor i told her that we would put her in the wrapper only if she could give us wonderful pics.she assured us for good pics.as she was not in town we were not able to click pics with her son as we did for simran.after a week she mailed us few pics with her son.those pics were good but of low resolution and defnetly not a wrapper quality picture.so we could not make it to the wrapper,but it was our poster that week.the article got published with nice pics.that day i saw 12 missed calls from laila in my mobile.i called her as soon as i reached office.at the other end she shouted like hell for not carring out the wrapper.she abused me,used all sorts of filthy language dint even gave a chance to me to explain our condition.i never expected this from laila as i have always seen her in a soft,innocent look onscreen..but soon realised that it was just an onsreen presence and she was totally opposite in person,agreessive in nature,harsh and rude.this incident helped me to understand that celebrities do have two faces and they are not as such as they appear onscreen in films.iam not sure about other celebrities,but in laila's case it is 100% true.
