Wow, its Amrita Rao!

We are talking about Amrita ‘Wow’ Rao whose sensuous new looks in her latest film Short Kut — The Con Is On have taken the industry by a storm. And after scorching the screen with her blazing new avatar, the hottie’s ready to make an even bigger splash with Abbas Mustan’s Life Partner in which she will be seen in a sizzling cameo looking hotter than ever before. BT sneaked in on the sets to catch the actress’ new look...

Abbas Mustan seem to be totally fida over your sizzling looks in Life Partner...
It’s always a pleasure working with filmmakers of their calibre. And, as for the looks, well you can only expect the hottest from their films, right?

So how hot is it going for the new sex symbol in Bollywood?
I don’t know about being a sex symbol, but yes — I haven’t stopped getting compliments. And I am simply overwhelmed with the response.

They must be quite a change from the ones you’d been getting for your last performance as the rustic village belle in Welcome to Sajjanpur?
As an actress these are just a few of the many facets that I got to reveal on screen and I am glad that the audiences have accepted both looks equally well.

Veteran painter MF Hussain — a self-confessed fan — pointed out that from being the girl-next-door, you’ve become the hot-girl-next-door...
I really believe that girls-next-door can be hot and sensuous, too. On screen I may be doing sexy roles, but I am never going to ditch being a girl-next-door. Because that’s who I am even today in real life. In reel life, yes, I am still waiting to discover many more facets there are to me as an actor

Has the queue of filmmakers wanting to sign you just got longer?
Oh yes, but I’m in no hurry to sign everything coming my way. I refuse to join the rat race by doing meaningless cinema in a bid to reach the top. I want to leave behind some timeless performances that earn me appreciation as an actress, rather than garner compliments just for my looks.
