Mumbai:
Basking in the glory of the critical acclaim she received in her debut film Aisha, actress Amrita Puri is looking forward to a longer innings in bollywood.
"As of now it is acting that I want to do. It makes me happy. I am looking for a longer innings in bollywood. Hope things go well," Amrita told PTI."I don't have any preconceived notions in my head about what kind of roles I want to do. I am looking forward to do meaty roles. By that I mean that like in case of Aisha my character took the story forward and I had a very significant part to play. So if it's like a supporting role I don't mind," the dimpled lass said.
Amrita essayed the role of Shefali Thakur in Aisha, a chick flick based on Jane Austen's Emma, directed by Rajshree Ojha and starring Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol in lead roles.Though the film did not fare too well at the box-office, it brought Amrita recognition, besides the honour of the best breakthrough performance at the Stardust Awards last year. Shewas also nominated for best actress in a supporting role and the best debutant categories at various film awards.
"'Aisha has put me in a very good space. I got lot of appreciation which is very heart warming. I was very happy because lots of positive things were said about my performanceand I got nominated for each and every award. The film is very close to my heart since it was my first one," the 27-year-old actress said.
