I've a hero in 'Jail': Mughda Godse

Mar 19, 2009 IANS

New Delhi, March 19(IANS) Model-turned-actress Mughda Godse is excited about working on her second film - Madhur Bhandarkar's "Jail" opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh - and says she is happy that she has a "hero" opposite her unlike her co-star in her debut film "Fashion".

"Working in 'Jail' is like working with a family, I don't feel like I am doing a second film. Almost everyone in the crew is the same as in 'Fashion' except my co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh. This time, I have a hero opposite me unlike what I had in my first film," Mughda told IANS.

In "Fashion", the actress played the role of an unsuccessful model who gets married to a gay designer, essayed by actor Samir Soni. However, in the prison drama "Jail", she is set to play a "de-glamorised role" as the love interest of the protagonist.

About her camaraderie with co-star Neil, she said: "Neil is a talented and a very nice guy. We have started shooting just a week ago. So I have to still know him."

Mughda was the celebrity showstopper for fashion brand Satya Paul on the opening day of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) here Wednesday.

Though she had failed to be a showstopper of repute in "Fashion", she felt "really special" to walk the ramp as a celebrity here.

"Every model, I feel, is a showstopper. They create a show. But as a celebrity showstopper, one gets a little more attention and the show gets more drama. It feels great to have been the special guest here," said Mughda.

Though she has walked the WIFW ramp before as a regular model, it was for the first time that Mughda sashayed across the ramp after "Fashion".

"This is the first time after shooting for 'Fashion' that I am walking the ramp. I wasn't nervous at all. In fact, I was very excited to be back on the ramp," she said.

She walked confidently and with panache wearing a multi-coloured sari with a bejeweled blouse - all with a lot of bling - and said that she was feeling "really good".

Apart from "Jail", Mughda would be seen in an untitled Rohit Shetty project that would be produced by actor Ajay Devgan. She has replaced actress Katrina Kaif in the lead role opposite Fardeen Khan.
