Four thousand sixty-eight and still coming in... That's the casualty count at the Maxim Burn Ward – of people blown away by this hot shoot! We were the first of your happily burnt fans, and what we'd like to know is: Are you a fan of ours, umm... we mean a fan of Maxim's?

If in life I ever decide to go à la Lindsay Lohan, I'm sure the first thing I'll do is pick up a lifetime subscription of Maxim. Oh, wait a second... Shouldn't I be getting that from you anyway? (Smiles)

"Colin! Get on it at once!" So we assume you'd be thrilled to bits to get a free annual Maxim subscription?

(Very coolly) Yes, as thrilled as being invited to the annual microwave maintenance convention. On the other hand, my younger brother, who actually devours Maxim from cover-to-cover, shall hail you as the god among insects.

Well, anything you say from those beautiful bee-stung lips is sweet as honey to us... So tell us, someone told us that acting happened to you by accident. True?t

Yes, it did. I always prayed for God to send me a bolt of divine intervention, one that would direct me towards my calling. When that didn't happen. I settle on journalism, hoping to report from conflict areas. I had just reached that decision when voilà! The bolt of divine intervention hit me and sent me a one way ticket to Bollywood!

You are a Delhi college girl, right? How would you describe yourself in college?

I went to an all girls' college! A real bummer! Not exactly an American Pie experience, as one would expect. But the only saving grace (OK, you might just choke on this!) was the amazing, dynamic professors we had.

Student-professor... That's our fave role play fantasy! Tell us more, were you a gorgeous geek or the party animal?

Neither. A weird mix of the two, actually.

The most embarrassing thing you've ever done in life...

You see, the psychology of an embarrassing situation is that one would like to forget it,
the moment you realise you've survived it!

We've seen you being wooed by Ranbir in Bachna Ae Haseeno and now we'll see you and Imran Khan together in Kidnap. Is there a real boyfriend in your life?

As opposed to an imaginary boyfriend that you think I may have instead?

Well, what can we do to pull you?

The only surefire way to score a date with me is not to show too much interest... I like it when someone keeps me guessing!

Ever had to handle pickup lines?

I'm not someone easy to approach! So anyone who does is generally high on confidence, which is a good thing. So the standard pickup lines don't happen. It's conversation which generally doesn't lead to a date, 'cos I don't give out my number. Sad, na!

Totally. We're sure that you're very aware of your killer looks. What would you call your most attractive feature?

Thank you for that lovely compliment. There is a lot of hard work that has gone into making that body fit to show off! My best feature… I think… are my hands.

The one woman you'd find it really, really hard to keep your hands off from?

Hmm... Carmen Electra.
