Script comes first
Belani, who made her tv debut as female lead in Doordarshan show ‘Laaga Chunri Mai Daag’,shared about her criteria before accepting a movie. “To me what matters the most is the script.

Telling us about her experience of working in Gujarati movie ‘Polam Pol’, she said, “ I was shooting for two Bollywood movies prior to ‘Polam Pol’. When I heard the script of the movie there was no question of me rejecting it. I loved the script and for me language is never a parameter I consider while signing a movie!”
Bollywood dreams
Spilling the beans on her Bollywood projects, the pretty actor said, “My first Bollywood movie is Sanjay Chhel’s ‘Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi’. It has established actors like Vir Das, Paresh Rawal, Rishi Kapoor. “Ek gaai jevi chokri no role karu chhu movie maa!” She futher added, “The second film’s working title is ‘The Confessions’, and scriptwriter Vipul Rawal will make his debut as a director with this film.

Belani who doesn’t follow any body stereotypes associated with heroines said, “I don’t believe that a heroine should have a specific type of figure. Sonakshi Sinha has succeeded in breaking such stereotypes. What matters is talent everything else is secondary.”
