Three years in the industry, the innocence remains, but with a newfound maturity. This gets evident the moment you begin a conversation with Minissha Lamba.

She might still be searching for that one elusive solo hit, which will put her in the ’A’ league of actresses, but the Punjabi kudi’s big dreams and confidence make her a strong contender to achieve that objective. Though she is working with big banners and some of the most happening male stars, the actress says that it can still get better for her.

After romancing Ranbir Kapoor on screen in Bachna Ae Haseeno, Minissha will now be playing the lead role opposite Imran Khan in an upcoming movie. Talking about her role in the film, she says, "I play a character called Sonia, who gets kidnapped a week before her 18th birthday. Like in Bachna... I play the role of a 17-year-old girl here too. But, my role is a slightly serious one."
