Actress Nisha Kothari says, she loves to be in the centre of controversies. “I don’t feel bad when my name figures in controversies, she said.
Priyanka debuted with a cameo in Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar followed by a full-fledged role in his crime thriller James. She also featured as Basanti in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, a remake of the 1975 hit Sholay. She was also in the news for her skin show on screen, but the actress doesn’t regret it.
However, she doesn’t like it when she is romantically linked with her mentor Ram Gopal Varma. “Don’t ascribe things that do not relate to me. Varmaji was only a director to me, and I remained an actress of his films,” explains Priyanka.
When her career didn’t take off in Bollywood, she reverted to her original name Priyanka and moved down South. But, her first Telugu film Okka Magaadu, in which she was paired with Balakrishna, bombed.
But the actress, still better known as Nisha, is happy because despite a bad start she is getting offers. She is working in another Telugu film and also signed a Kannada film Raaj, the Showman in which she has teamed up with Kannada star Puneet Raj Kumar.
Currently, the actress is shooting for her debut Kannada film in Madikeri, 250 km from Bengaluru. She may well take up some more offers down South, but reiterates that she would take up Kannada offers only after she completes her work in Raaj, the Showman.
“I have worked in two schedules of the film so far in Bengaluru and Mysore. We have now moved to Madikeri to shoot some songs. I am really enjoying the work here. Director Prem focuses more on details.
