Former Miss India International Neha Hinge, who is making
her Bollywood debut with "Luv U Soniyo", tells filmmaker Madhur
Bhandarkar, who had seen her at a beauty contest, recommended her name for the
movie.
She also admits winning a beauty peagant has helped her in
grabbing the movie.
"If you have won a peagant, it becomes easier because
your face is noticed, you get a platform where people recognise you. So there
is a lot of visibility you get," Neha told here in an interview.
"So definitely Miss India
(winning) helped me a lot as well. Somewhere down the line it has helped me
grab this movie," she further added.
Neha won Miss India International crown in 2010.
"When my director Joe Rajan was looking for a face to
play Soniyo (for the film), Madhur Bhandarkar was judging a sub contest
'Bollywood Diva' in Miss India peagant that I participated in and I won. So
when Joe approached Madhur with the film, he suggested him my name and this is
how I got the movie through Joe and Madhur," told the 27-year-old.
"Luv U Soniyo" releases July 26 and features
yesteryear actress Rati Agnihotri's son Tanuj Virwani in the lead role.
