“I want to run around trees” … Gauahar Khan

Gauahar Khan is set for not one, but two film releases this year, where she plays the lead — Punjabi film (“Oh Yaara Ainvayi Ainvayi Lut Gaya”) and Bollywood movie “Fever”. 

“They will release around the same time, which is in a couple of months and the best part is that my look is diametrically opposite in both,” she says.

“I was getting a lot of offers from regional cinema. As an actor, I have never restricted myself from doing things other than Bollywood.

The fact that I got such a fabulous script where I'm paired opposite Jassi Gill, a superstar in Punjabi cinema, made me take it up,”, says Gauahar about her Punjabi venture.

Her look in “Oh Yaara...”, is Indian, very different from what people associate her with. “People have not seen me like this... a girl with her dupatta flying. I should be getting a lot more roles after this. I'm looking forward to that. I want to run around trees!”

In “Fever”, where she plays the lead opposite Rajeev Khandelwal, she has a European look. “Nobody has seen me like that. Both are performance-oriented roles,” she revealed. 

Gauahar Khan has been in the industry for a while, but has done mostly character roles – including in “Rocket Singh”, “Ishaqzaade” and “Game”. She was also a major part of reality TV show “Bigg Boss”.
