Bollywood beauty Manisha Koirala says playing an ugly girl in her new movie is a great challenge.
It was Koirala's birthday on Saturday, and she was on the set playing the most challenging role of her career.
"It's not a role that I carry home with happiness. In Deepti Naval's film Do Paise Ki Dhoop Chaar Aane Ki Baarish I'm cast as a girl who not only has to look plain, she has to look ugly, sometimes plainly repulsive. It's not too easy playing someone like that. It affects me badly. So this was a sober birthday for me," Koirala said.
Naturally beautiful, Koirala is applying special make-up to be in character. "My look and the wretchedness of my character will remind people of Charlize Theron in Monster. I think she won an Oscar for that."
Koirala was in no mood to celebrate her birthday this year. "Normally I've a big party every year where I invite all my friends. Or I go off to one my favourite countries, Spain or France. This year I was in no mood to travel or celebrate," the actress said on the eve of her birthday.
