Minissha Lamba: The Dubai fascination

Upcoming actress Minissha Lamba was in town to MC at a property launch event and spoke exclusively to Vikram Singh Barhat in between mic checks.

What do you make of the growing fascination of the Bollywood fraternity with the property market in Dubai?

Bollywood is fascinated by anything high-end whether it be property, jewellery, fashion or lifestyle. The Dubai property market is coming up with very high-end luxurious homes. You associate that with glamour and luxury and high life, so Bollywood can’t be far behind. Dubai is an emerging market, it is a city that is home to people from all over the world, you have a beautiful combination of the desert and a beautiful beachfront. This is the most interesting development that I have seen in the world. You have developed land in the middle of the ocean. I say, why not Dubai? It is a great opportunity to buy a home away from home.

Are you going to put your money where your mouth is?

If you mean property investment, I am going to get Harry Kantaria (the developer) to give me a lovely oceanfront apartment. I am completely sold on it. It would have to be a seafront apartment. I don’t know the budget yet, I will have to sit with Harry and discuss it.

How’s your film career getting on?

The latest about my film career would be the release of Bachna Aye Haseeno with Ranbir Kapoor.

How was it working with him?

He is a lovely person to know, work with and make friends with. He is here to stay.

Give us some inside dope on a scoop or a scandal.

Ha, ha, ha. I am very boring when it comes to "inside dope". I only get it when you guys write it.
