All set to make a Bollywood debut, former Splitsvilla contestant Pooja Bisht has put all the break-up baggage behind and is looking forward to a new start while impressing the audience with her acting chops in her upcoming horror film.
The gorgeous lady who was recently in the news for her split with beau Sharad Malhotra during an interview with Bollywoodlife.com opened up about her breakup with the Kasam Hai Tere Pyar Ki actor.
The news of the split between Sharad and her came rather abruptly and at a time when reports of them tying the knot soon were doing the rounds.
When asked about the same, the actress said, “It was not abrupt. Differences had cropped up between us time and again. You know, in your heart when your relationship is going wrong. It was tough as I had invested in it 2.5 years."
Pooja also went on to say that Sharad would dominate her, but yet she would like to remember all the good times.
"I have moved on and I’m focusing on my career,” she further added.
Post the split, Sharad also spoke about how he is in two minds about commitment after seeing failed relationships.
While commenting on this Pooja said, “I feel he is a confused person. I read him saying he is commitment-phobic one day and in some other interview, he said he is looking for the right partner. He is an intelligent and smart person. I just feel he should not waste other people’s time.”
Moving to the professional front.
Pooja Bisht will co-star in the film with Rajniesh Duggal and Kunaal Roy Kapur.
While Rajniesh has done quite a few horror flicks before, Kunaal was last seen in Saif Ali Khan’s Kaalakandi.
“It was wonderful working with them. I was quite nervous but both of them are good human beings. They helped me out whenever needed. The team was a friendly one. I have some romantic scenes with Rajniesh and he guided me throughout,” the actress told the website.
The actress during the interview also disclosed that she is a fan of the horror genre.
And which is her her favourite scary film?
"The Exorcism of Emily Rose and 1920," Pooja said, while adding that her upcoming film is not a horrex with loads of erotica.
“It is a horror film throughout. We have taken a new approach towards horror. It is very realistic. You won’t see me with loads of make-up. There are a few songs, which are sensual but not erotica,” she clarified.
Pooja has had quite a journey in the industry. She has moved up the ladder- from being a reality show contestant to a TV actor and is now doing films.
“I feel people want to get entertained and lines between TV and films actors have blurred. I feel the audience does not judge TV actors. This is a great period for artistes to shine. People enjoy good content whatever the medium. Yes, every actor wants to be seen on the silver screen as he gets maximum exposure," Pooja told the website.
Apparently, Pooja Bisht was also approached for Bigg Boss 12.
“Yeah, I had spoken to someone but I don’t think I will do the show as I have signed a few other projects. It will not materialise atleast this year,” she said.
