FHM Girlfriend: Pragya Jaiswal
This charming lass is all set to woo you with her naughty sense of humour, big smile and endless barrage of one-liners!
Full name: Pragya Jaiswal. Lives in: Mumbai. Age: 23. Occupation: Actor.
Pragya just reached Mumbai after visiting her folks in Jabalpur and is still trying to get over winters!
So you don’t like winters?
Nah, not at all!
That’s quite unusual to hear from a girl!
I know… Most of my girlfriends love winters.
From law to Bollywood — how did this happen?
(Laughs) I did Miss India very randomly and got noticed there. From there on, I’ve just been going with the flow.
You must have earned some good karma to earn yourself an international movie like A Little Heaven In Me?
No, I just had a good audition (chuckles).
How do you spend a lazy day?
In my bed, on the laptop. On a lazy day, I’m very very very lazy (laughs).
What do you surf online?
I love watching movies. A lot of them.
You sound like a movie buff, so what kind of roles would you want to do?
I’m a very fun, lively and cheerful girl, so I would want to do similar kind of roles that reflect my real personality. I know I might sound a bit clichéd, but I would definitely want to do a Jab We Met kind of role.
Damn, now don’t say romantic films are your favourite!
(Bursts into laughter) I know what you are saying, but it is one of the most prized roles any girl would want to do.
So besides JWM, which roles would you want to do?
I like Ram Leela and Gangs of Wasseypur, as well as movies like Fashion.
Long story short, you want to work with the best directors...
Haha! Yeah, you could say that (smiles).
Are you seeing someone at the moment?
No.
Why?
Because I’m single and being honest.
How can a girl like you be single?
Trust me, it’s hard to be single. It’s like there are people who like you and they try to be around by hanging in your circle, but you don’t like them in that way.
So you have been in the company of pushy men?
I guess every girl falls in to that trap at some point (laughs).
When was the last time you were seeing someone?
Uhh, let’s just say I have dated a lot of wrong men and I would like to work now, so it’s more like being friends and having fun here on.
Ah, friends having fun…?
LOL! No, that sounded completely wrong.
Okay, so what are the things that get you attracted to a guy?
I guess, you just need to click with the right person. Looks, fitness and wit are the few qualities that do attract you, but over time it just comes down to the nature of a person.
Would you date a bald man?
Hahahaha! I can’t imagine dating a bald guy.
You just broke our heart!
LOL! Actually, I haven’t come across a lot of good looking bald men, so….
What is your idea of a good date?
Come on, ask me some quirky questions! We should change that.
Okay, would you prefer adventure sports over a good date?
No, I guess I would prefer a long drive over a bungee jump. I’m a hopeless romantic (chuckles).
Your poison?
Wine or champagne.
And what about tattoos?
No, not my thing at all. I mean I do like them on people, but not on myself.
One piece or two piece bikini?
Two piece for sure!
