Why Gauhar Khan is opening up way after Rocket Singh's release

All this while, Gauhar Khan preferred to remain mum about Rocket Singh and the buzz about her so-called 'cold war' with Shazahn Padamsee who also features in the film.

"I was under contract with Yash Raj not to speak till the film releases. I wanted to respect it even though others may not have," says the model-turned-actress. "I did not want to have any bad vibes around nor upset anyone. I only wanted my performance to do the talking which I am glad it did."



At a private screening she received compliments from Yash Chopra as well as her co-star Ranbir Kapoor's parents Rishi and Neetu Singh. "They telling me that I had done well in the film was huge for me. I was so jittery but the response has been overwhelming."

She states that after the screening, she went up to Shazahn and wished her luck for her first film. "I don't even know Shazahn and we didn't share screen space. Nor were there any film-related events that we would be together. So I really don't know where all this crept up? Guess this is what happens when there is a PR machinery at work."

At the moment, it's only acting for her. "The fashion world and ramp is out for me now. I only want to concentrate on movies."

She was picked up for Rocket Singh during her television outing Jhalak Dikkhla Jaa. Most viewers would remember her as an extremely emotional contestant who cried often. "But that's how I am, even off-screen. I always get emotional. I cried even after Rocket Singh's screening!" she says.

Double celebrations

Rocket Singh released on December 11u00a0-- which was also the 37th wedding anniversary of her parents. "So it was a double celebration for us," says Gauhar, whose two Dubai-based sisters Kausar and Zakia did their own celebrations. "Zakia took her three-year-old daughter along with a huge bunch of kids to see Rocket Singh."
