Ray of happiness

Jasmine Singh

Look! She looks like a million dollars, not a cent less. Gossamer skin, grey eyes, hair tied in a neat ponytail, a black see through top which only validated the millions. Lisa Ray has definitely made a glam comeback. As the pretty lady hits Chandigarh with the cast and crew of the upcoming Hindi film, Ishq Forever, it becomes almost impossible for the shutterbugs to let their camera zoom on to anyone else.

The upcoming film Ishq Forever, directed by Sameer Sippy, has Jaaved Jaaferi, Ruhi Singh and Krishna Chaturvedi in the lead roles. The film is produced by Shabbir Boxwala and is slated to hit the theatres on Feb 19. A film that talks about romance that stays forever and freedom at different levels is keeping the actors excited and on tenterhooks!

No laughing matter this 
Jaaved Jaaferi 

He is the industry’s official Boogie-Woogie man, one of the pioneers of a dance reality show that got all and sundry to check out their two left or two right feet. In Ishq Forever, however, Jaaved plays a RAW agent. 

“I always look at the character, understand its depth before taking it up,” adds the actor who is all praise for his co-stars, and especially Lisa Ray whom he calls an outright professional. 

“I have always known Lisa as a pretty gorgeous actress, but now when I see how thoroughly professional she is…it is truly admirable. We got along well on the sets, and Lisa is definitely a great person to work with.” When it is Jaaved in question you can expect a generous spread of laughter all around, which makes Lisa add, “Working with Jaaved is indeed a total fun ride, it is a laugh fest actually.” 

Light up with Lisa Ray

The pretty actress has taken her near-death-experience in her stride, and is now moving ahead on the beautiful journey of life. 

“I have had a close brush with death when I had cancer, and I value life, time and the opportunities that it throws in any day more now,” adds Lisa, who also plays a RAW agent in the film. 

“Ishq Forever is a comeback for me, I am definitely looking forward to it,” adds this pretty face who is now helping many people dealing with dreaded disease. Also, Lisa will be seen in different projects aboard. “The bottom-line is that I will like to keep working in films.” 

The calendar girl 
Ruhi Singh 

A successful model, winner of Miss Universe Peace and Humanity 2014, Ruhi Singh was director Madhur Bhandarkar’s one of the gorgeous calendar girls. In Ishq Forever, she plays Rhea, a character she loved portraying. Another thing that she loves doing is modeling. 

“If I were to rate what I liked more, modeling or acting, I would say I like both,” says Ruhi who would want to maintain a balance in both modelling and films.

First entry 
Krishna Chaturvedi

Krishna is from Mathura and Ishq Forever is his debut film. This young lad loves to travel, luckily his reel life character in the film, Aaryan, does the same. 

“Now, you know why I could closely relate to my character in the film and also loved giving my sweat and blood to it,” he shares. Rumour has it that Krishna bagged the role after the producer Shabeer Boxwala saw his pictures on facebook, which is true!
