She hasn't graced the screens for long and her past releases have sunk without a trace, but actor Udita Goswami is unfazed with the way her career is shaping up.
Her career graph went downhill after the debut in Pooja Bhatt's 'Paap' but she insists there's more to her than just films. "I don't suck up to anybody for work," she retorts, adding, " In the film industry, you have to suck up to the director, producer and always say nice things about them, irrespective of the fact whether they are doing good work or not. There's no honesty in this industry, and I guess I am too in the face for all these things".
The actor who will be seen in upcoming film, 'The Diary of a Butterfly' is also busy creating work for herself. She is busy scripting a love story revolving around a relationship between an older man and a younger woman. "I am writing my script in which I will be acting and co-directing as well. For the male lead, I want to have Naseeruddin Shah," says Udita.
Prod her about branching out of the Mahesh Bhatt camp and she explains, "I was never part of any camp. I am too in the face to belong to any camp. I don't take films so seriously and I can't be nice to anybody just to get work at the end of the day. Infact, I don't even party or network," says Udita.
Meanwhile, it is her dedication to realism that has surprised the industry insiders. After clocking commercial film like 'Zeher', Udita was last seen in the nightmarish'Rokkk' and 'Chase' where she plays a nurse. "Despite being a good movie, 'Rokkk' didn't take off as it wasn't marketed too well. It's strange how publicity budgets are higher than the budget for making the film," she says.
Another reason, reveals Udita, is that she stays away from multi-starrers. "The only reason I agree to doing these films is because I can never play second fiddle to anybody. I am a queen in real life and I like to be treated like a queen in my films too," laughs Udita.
However, the actor has a completely different take on item numbers. "The reason why most actor's lookout for item numbers because it makes a huge difference. It's true most of the actors live more on shows and they can charge four to five times more after the song. Secondly, the item number instantly puts an actor in the top slot," explains Udita, adding, "Katrina's Chikni Chameli was fabulous and I don't think anybody else could have done a better job".
