Highlights

Elli Evram who made her debut with Mickey Virus has sure come a long way in Bollywood. With her latest release Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu starring Kapil Sharma hitting the theatres yesterday, here's what the Swedish-Greek actress has to say about her Bollywood career.
Grabbing the role in Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu on her sound Hindi:
"I liked it and am glad that I got to work with directors like Abbas Mustan. They speak in Hindi and they were worried how I would speak in Hindi. I sat and spoke to all three brothers in Hindi. They were happy that I could talk in Hindi. I was happy that it was my second movie and they are so humble and I learnt a lot. They are a big name yet they treat everyone with respect and make you feel equal."
Learning Hindi on her own:
"I never had Hindi tuitions. I push myself to speak in Hindi. I speak to my staff. I communicate with them in Hindi language and this really brushes my Hindi Language. When there are performances or shows I talk to Choreographer and I answer them in Hindi. I took classes before Big Boss but I didn't learn much but if you don’t practice or talk everyday how will you get the tongue right. Hindi is very difficult."
English in Indian accent:
"My first language is Swedish, my second is Greek and third language is English followed by Hindi. People think I come from abroad but there are many countries where English is not spoken. We study in English but we don’t use it. My parents were worried how I will communicate. People think I have Indian accent when I speak English."
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu:
"To be honest I have been open to everything. I think over everything and then comment on it. My feeling was positive. I go by what my heart says and what my gut feeling is. We three girls screen presence is equal and I am getting to show different emotions. I have two songs and I was happy what I get to do."
Working with Kapil Sharma:
"It becomes difficult as he's so funny and he was very naughty. I have to control and be serious in certain scenes when I am angry with him. He acts like Shah Rukh and I would laugh. I would tell him that you are making it difficult for me. He would make funny faces and I would laugh. It was hard core training for me as I had to control myself. You have to be in control yourself and not get distracted."
About Bigg boss and Salman Khan:
"I feel I have got very nice appreciation and am very grateful for my fans. Salman is such a big star and he says such wonderful things about me on the show. He supported me. It was a great feeling that so many people are seeing me and appreciating me. I got flattered that Salman noticed me. I never knew I would go to Big Boss."
On having a God Father:
"I don' t know if you need a god father but you have to be sincere in what you want to do in life. At the end of the day if you will not work hard and improve yourself or prove yourself then neither God or God father can help you. How much can anyone support you."
Comparisons with Katrina Kaif:
"There is only one Katrina Kaif and always be one. No one can be compared to her. We are all unique and you cannot be like someone else. She is beautiful and someone who is hard working. It’s flattering to be compared but I look like myself and my parents. People have been positive and in a loving way they adorn with some compliments.
Dream of Bollywood:
"I was too young when I heard a Bollywood song on Television and danced to it. I was always in love with India. My uncle and aunt - my God parents they have always loved India. I have been passionate and connected to India. I saw Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas which is the first Bollywood movie I watched. Thereafter I decided to be in India and auditioned for Pardesi dance group and did Madhuri Dixit kind of dance which was very Indian. They preferred that. I wanted to know if I will be accepted by the people here. I didn't want to be a background dancer. I saw Love Aaj Kal and came to know that there is a foreigner in it and I realized that there is acceptance here.
Elli Evram list of filmmakers:
"I want to do a period film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali and a magical period film. I would love to do ABCD --3. I want to work with Salman Khan and Sooraj Pancholi. I would love to do a Biopic or an epic film."
On her idealistic man:
"I want him to respect the family and second I would love him to be respectful and humble and love me madly."
