She is vivacious, sexy and presently one of the hottest "Item number girl" in Bollywood. But Yana Gupta is all set to play the lead role soon in a forthcoming Hindi film for one of the big banners in the country. Understandably, with several of her contemporaries like Lara Dutt, Biapasha basu and Mallika Sherwat, waiting in the wings for the big break, Yana does not want to reveal anything further on the offer.
"I wouldn't let the cat out of the bag so soon. You just watch for a few days and the details will be out," says Yana with a glint in her eye. " I do not want to reveal anything at this stage. All I can say is that it is a big production house and my co-actor would also be a leading star," she says.
But the 22-year-old Czech-born super model who married an Indian painter, Satyakam Gupta, insists that despite the latest offer, she would continue to do the item numbers in other films. "A large number of producers have approached me for their films. However, I am quite selective about the dances and my role," she says.
Multi-lingual foray
Yana, who topped the popularity charts with her maiden number in Dum, has also done half-a-dozen sizzling dances in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada. "I have done a dance in Venkatesh's starrer Gharshana, and the feedback I received was really very encouraging," she says
But wouldn't doing item numbers affect her image as a serious actress? "Certainly not. I am passionate about my dance. I would always like to dance. But then, as I said I am not in a hurry to accept every offer that comes my way," says the item girl. The model-turned actress says that a very prominent business house has also approached her to be their brand ambassador. "May be the contract would be signed in another few weeks," she says.
On Hyderabad, Yana says, she likes the people, as they are very "disciplined and well-behaved". "I had done a couple of shows here and always found the people here warm and never had any problems," she says.
It is not just the south and the people, but even the food seems to have floored Yana.
"I have got a strong liking for south Indian dishes. I really love having all those idlis, upma and masala dosas. Most of the preparations here are made with coconuts, perhaps that's one reason I like the food here," says the hazel-eyed model with a smile.
