Actress Amrita Arora, who was a resident of Andheri here, recently bought
a new home in Bandra and moved in with her parents.
"It's a dream house. And my parents have shifted in with me. Everyone
dreams of owning a house that would be just perfect! I've reached that
dream, I guess," Amirta told IANS on phone from Prague.
With the shift of residence, she's now a stone's throw away from her
sister Malaika.
"So we are all at a shouting distance from one another,"
the actress remarked.
After Priyanka Chopra in "Don" and Aishwarya Rai in "Umrao
Jaan", who have been given the thankless task of re-doing roles
immortalised by Zeenat Aman and Rekha respectively, it's petite Amrita's
turn to do a Saira Banu in the remake of the 1972 hit "Victoria
No. 203".
"Please don't scare me. Comparisons are so paralysing."
However, she is extremely excited about the film.
"I'm very excited because a lot of people feel I resemble Saira
Banuji. In half the film I get to masquerade as a man. And yes, I'll
be doing Sairaji's sizzling towel dance in 'Victoria No. 203',"
laughed Amrita.
In the original, Saira Banu had brought the house down doing the sensuous
dance number "Thodasa thehro". It remains to be seen whether
producer Kamal Sadanah and director Ananth Mahadevan retain the original
Lata Mangeshkar track.
