The film had three leading ladies - Soha, Tulip Joshi and Ayesha Takia - opposite Shahid Kapoor.
New Delhi:
Soha Ali Khan still cannot figureout why she opted to make her debut with 2004 film Dil MaangeMore, which had three actresses in the lead.
The 35-year-old actress, who was new to Bollywood at thattime, said it was a terrible decision.
"I don't know why I chose to make my debut with DilMaange More. The film had three leading ladies -- me, TulipJoshi and Ayesha Takia -- opposite Shahid Kapoor. I was freshto Bollywood at that time because I had just come back fromEngland and had no clue about hero-heroine dynamics in India,"Soha said here while discussing the portrayal of women incinema and TV at an event.
Soha said she took the film because she found hercharacter progressive because she dumps her boyfriend over hercareer."When I was asked a character out of three, I chose Nehabecause she is ambitious. At an young age of 21 she choosesher career over boyfriend. It was again a wrong decision takenby me because in Hindi films, actresses keep their partnerover any other thing," she said.
But the War Chod Na Yaar actress is happy that cinemahas changed over the period and she gets to play strongcharacters.
