‘I applaud Malaika’s popularity’

Actor Amrita Arora is back in news. With two back to back releases, life's certainly looking good for the petite actress after her rumoured break-up with long time beau ��� London based Pakistani cricketer Usman Afzal. ���Hello has released, which is doing very well at the box-office.
Another Rohit Shetty film, which is an out an out comedy, is about to be released.I���m looking forward to it too.���
Amrita has another reason to be on a high and that���s because she���s just finished shooting with none other than Hollywood hunk Sylvester Stallone for the film Kambakkht Ishq. Touch upon the topic and Amrita gushes: ���Sly Stallone is so humble and grounded. He was very intrigued by Bollywood. He was so eager to know about how our stars work. It was a pleasure working with him. And he said that it was as if he was always meant to do a Bollywood film.���
Getting back to her professional life, we can���t but ask her as to why she has done most of her films with friends and family members? She takes off: ���It so happened that the people I have worked with have gone on to become my friends. Plus, when I have the biggest stars in my family, I don���t think I need to look elsewhere for work,��� says she.
Amrita���s friendship with Kareena Kapoor is the talk of the industry. We ask Amrita about her friend���s obsession with size zero. Does she believe in it? ���I don���t understand this whole concept of size zero,��� says she sounding piqued. ���Bebo and I are both healthy people and believe in eating healthy and remaining fit. And I don���t see anything wrong in flaunting the hard work we have put in our bodies.���
Apart from Kareena, it is Amrita���s sister Malaika Arora Khan who draws more media attention than the kid sister. When asked whether Amrita ever feels overshadowed by her sister���s personality, she replies, ���I applaud Malaika���s popularity. I take pride in having her as my sister. She has worked very hard to reach where she is today and I admire that.���
More than her films, it is Amrita���s love life which is talked about in the media. Mention that to her and the irritation is reflected in her otherwise supercilious demeanour. ���I have never really gone out and talked about my personal life. It���s the media which has chosen to give it more credence than my professional achievements,��� says the actress.
We ask her to describe herself to us: ���I am the happy-go-lucky, cherubic kinds. I am not fake. I project myself in all honesty. And I am not easily swayed by change.���
And just how does she plan celebrating Diwali this time? ���Diwali is a family festival and like every year, I will be celebrating Diwali with my family ��� bursting crackers, and having fun.���
