Pooja Missra debuts in Poonam Sinha's film

TAKE NOTICE! Pooja loves scuba diving

Pooja Misrra does not want to be categorised. From ramps to ads to music shows, she now enters movies.

Her first appearance will be in Mera Dil Leke Dekho. The film, directed by Rohit Kaushik, is to be released at the end of the month.

Pooja plays the role of Sunny, an "urban hotpot", in the movie. With ravishing looks and pleasant wit, Sunny causes heads to turn and hearts to flutter.

It is obvious why Pooja was chosen for this role. Dressed in a Stella McCartney outfit, Pooja knows the craft of manipulating an audience. She is unwilling to call this movie her "debut" as it was a "family affair".

The movie was produced by Shatrughan Sinha's wife Poonam Sinha, and shot near Pooja's bungalow in Pune.

A big fan of Quentin Tarantino, she hopes to work with Ramgopal Varma and Sanjay Gupta. She is also keen to work with Yash Chopra who "sees everything in a beautiful haze".

Her "thirst for doing something different" has made her an avid scuba diver and a keen athlete. In scuba diving she enjoys "fooling the fish into thinking you are a big fish."

Hailing from an academic family, Pooja is proud that she has entered the industry because of her merit.
