With debutant Asin hogging all the limelight opposite Aamir Khan in 'Ghajini', the other lead character Jiah Khan says she is happy with her role in the film and hold no grudges against anyone.
"As far as I am concerned I am very happy with my character in the film," the actress told reporters over phone when asked about the media reports that she was upset by not getting enough attention despite playing an important role in the film.
"Asin has done a fabulous job in the film. We have only met twice and I don't even have any scene together in the film. I am not the kind of person to hold grudges against anyone," Jiah said.
What about her alleged catfight with Kangana Ranaut, who was reportedly the original choice for her role in the film? "Media finds these stories interesting. None of these stories are correct. Why should I have problems with anyone? I met Kangana at the premiere of 'Fashion'. I think she is superb in the film," said the actress.
Jiah made a dream debut last year with Ram Gopal Verma's controversial film 'Nishabd' opposite Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. The film was loosely based on Russian author Vladimir Nabokov's book 'Lolita'.
With her sensual look in the film Jiah earned the tag of 'glamour doll' but the 20-year-old actress hopes to acquire a new image with 'Ghajini' which she considers an important milestone in her career.
Jiah plays a curious medical student, who gets involved in Sanjay Singhania's (Aamir) life in 'Ghajini' after studying his 'interesting case' file.
'Ghajini' is a remake of a Tamil film which is inspired by a foreign film 'Memento'. The film about a man who suffers from a medical condition known as short term memory loss. His character forgets everything after every 15 minutes.
"My character is very intense. It is a completely deglamourised role. The focus is not on my body but on my role in the film. Aamir was very clear that I should look
like a student.
"So, I am a plain Jane in the film except for a song which has lots of special effects and I have been given a Jennifer Lopez kind of look," the actress said while talking about her role in the film.
Jiah considers herself lucky to make a debut opposite Amitabh Bachchan and then get a role with Aamir Khan. As far as working with Aamir was concerned Jiah says he was very helpful throughout the shooting of the film.
"Aamir brings in a lot of dedication and hard work in whatever he does. It was definitely a learning experience for me. "My character is always on edge in the film. Whenever I struggled with any particular scene Aamir and Murugdoss helped me," she added.
Jiah is next working with Shahid Kapoor in 'Yahoo' and a comedy with Akshay Kumar. The actress hopes next year would be good for her career in Bollywood but she has not planned anything yet for the future.
"I am happy with what I am doing now. As far as future is concerned I don't believe in expectations and plans," she said.
