Cool, bubbly and full of energy are some adjectives that strike you when you meet Aarti Chhabria. Born on July 6th, 1975 in Austin, Aarti stepped into the glamour world as a model (Krack cream, Amul, Freshna), before moving on to music videos. Nasha hi nasha hai done for Sukhwinder Singh is one of them.
The former Miss India Worldwide (2000) debuted in films opposite Nakul Kapoor in Tumse Achcha Kaun Hai. The movie bombed at the box office but Vikram Bhatt signed Aarti in his wacko multi starrer comedy Awaara Pagal Deewana opposite Akshay Kumar. “I went through an audition to get this film”, says the blue-eyed beauty. She also starred in the flick Raja Bhaiyya opposite Govinda. But Tumse Accha Kaun Hai still remains closest to her heart being her first film.
Aarti has no qualms about hailing from a non-filmi background. No godfather, no problem. "I was born to act. No one can deny me that. Movies are fun. You get to live so many different characters, you work with good-looking men, and you travel to the best places. And you get paid too!" she guffaws.
About working in a Kannada film Pritisonaba, Aarti says, “People in the South are really organised. Initially, I did have problems with the dialect, but as the shoot progressed, I learnt."
Chhabria is a big fan of Abhishek Bachhan. “He is a good actor; I hope he gets the right break. I would love to play the role of Urmila in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. Five years hence, I would like to see myself as an established actress," she says.
