The 'hot' label was hurting: Lisa Haydon

Nov 2, 2014 NR

Model-turned-actress Lisa Haydon, whose 'The Shaukeens' is preparing for a November release, says she does not want the tag of a 'hot' actress, and that it was hurting after a point.

"I don't want to be termed as 'hot'. It was getting offensive after a point. Who wants to be hot?!", she shared with reporters.

She feels there has been an image change for her after "Queen".

"Before 'Queen', people perceived me (just) as a model. I worked very hard to prove myself as a good actor. I needed the right opportunity, and now I feel people have started taking me seriously as an actress and have started paying attention to my talent".

Talking about the movie 'The Shaukeens' and her character, she said, "In my opinion, my 'The Shaukeens' character Ahana is not hot. Vijayalakshmi (from 'Queen') is hotter than Ahana though she does not do anything to be hot - she burps, she snores, and has an 'I don't give a damn' attitude which appeals to people. Ahana, on the other hand, is a very innocent and naive girl."

Directed by Abhishek Sharma, "The Shaukeens" features Annu Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Piyush Mishra in main roles.
