Vivek Oberoi, who makes his maiden appearance with real life sweetheart Aishwarya Rai in Sameer Karnik's Kyun! Ho Gaya Na, admits liked the world-winning beauty even before he joined films.

How was the experience of working with Aishwarya Rai?
I was her fan even before I joined the film industry. I used to dream about Aishwarya all the time.

What is it that you like about her?
I find her commitment to work truly exceptional. She has no airs about herself and unlike many other filmstars, she's not at all arrogant. Ash is simple. You would find her on the sets at least two hours before time since her make-up was elaborate. She makes sure that she is never the cause for any delay in shooting. In fact Sameer Karnik, the film's director was apprehensive at first because of Ash's international stature. But she never threw tantrums or tried to leverage her popularity in any way.

Are you in love with her?
No comments

Which other actress do you like working with besides Ash?
I don't work with actresses. I work with directors and only listen to them.

Who is your dream girl?
My dream girl is someone with Indian values.

Is Kyun! Ho Gaya Na your brainchild?
Yes, it is my brainchild as well as that of Sameer Karnik.

How was the experience of working with Amitabh Bachchan?
I have always had great respect for Amitji. I am his biggest fan. As far as his role in Kyun! Ho Gaya Na is concerned, I would say its the best comedy he has done after Mr Natwarlal.

Any message for your young fans?
To the girls let me say that you should try and follow Ash. Work as hard as she does to look beautiful, stylish and sexy. Go ahead, boys and girls fall in love and then you will know what Kyun! Ho Gaya Na is all about.
