Genelia is aamir khan’s girl
She is Aamir Khan’s new blue eyed girl who has impressed the superstar with her performance in his forthcoming home production Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. She will be seen opposite Imran Khan, who happens to be Aamir’s nephew! Once upon a time she was also linked to Ritesh Deshmukh! Renuka Vyavahare spoke to ‘Masti’ fame Genelia D’Souza to know about her journey to stardom…
Genelia D Souza is highly talked about these days!
(smiles) I am glad! My films are responsible for this, I am sure. Mere Baap Pehle Aap with Akshaye Khanna, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na with Imran Khan and an untitled Anees Bazmi film with Sharman Joshi… all of my forthcoming films are interesting. In Mere Baap Pehle Aap I play Akshaye’s love interest and the role is quite interesting as I essay the role of girl who is vivacious, extremist and frank… quite like the real me.
You were appreciated in Masti but soon after its success, instead of sticking around you chose to take up Southern films!
It wasn’t a conscious effort and cinema is cinema. No matter in what language you deliver your dialogues… I got good Tamil and Telugu films down south so I tried my hand at it.
So now that you are hands are full with Bollywood offers, will you go back to doing South films?
Right now I can’t say anything. It depends on the kind of offers I get.
Lot is talked about your forthcoming venture with Aamir Khan.
It’s a pleasure working with him. Even his nephew Imran has got his acting genes! They have completely different personalities though. Its Imran’s first film but he is so confident, well versed since he comes from a film family and is comfortable in front of the camera unlike other newcomers.
Is something brewing between you and Ritesh?
No, I’ve always maintained that he is a good friend. The press wrote what they wanted to but that hasn’t affected our friendship besides I am single!

Love Story 2050 also releasing on the same date.
In Harman Vs. Imran’s case, I would prefer Harman. A couple of reasons for this.
Aamir Khan might be a big star, but that doesn’t goes to say that anyone launched by Aamir will be a big star. Remember Faisal Khan? Aamir’s own brother. He had full support of Aamir, but what happaned to him? For all you know, Imran might meet the same fate.
Another point - Why would Aamit take Genelia, one of the most flop heroine of Bollywood as a heroine? I mean, how many fans does she has , apart from her own family?
Also, the director of the film is Abbas Tyrewala, the guy who used to write scripts before. In comparison, Love Story 2050 is directed by ace director Harry Baweja who gave us films like “Qayamat”, “Dilwale” etc. I trust Harry Baweja far more than Abbas Tyrewala.
Further, a look at Love Story 2050 ’s promos makes you sit back and take notice. Love Story 2050 is an interesting film. Its a love story, but with exciting special effects and an intriguing story line. This might be India’s first sci-fi film. The budget of Harman’s costumes in Love Story 2050 alone must be equal to “Jaane Tu”’s entire budget.
Boss, a multiplex ticket now costs Rs.250. I would rather go and watch Love Story 2050 than see some overrated and under-delivered performance by some over-hyped star-nephew.
