 Mumbai, Jul 14 (PTI) Manjari Fadnis who played second lead in Aamir Khan produced 'Jaane tu..', was initially apprehensive of taking up the role in the film which stars a host of newcomers, including the protagonists Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza. "Yes, there were apprehensions initially. But, when the director Abbas Tyerwala narrated the script, I realised that my role was very interesting with lot of scope for performance. It had various shades of emotions," Manjari, who has played the lead in films like 'Rok Sako To Rok Lo' and 'Mumbai Salsa' told PTI here today.She said the entire cast of the film participated in a workshop in Panchgani and had bonded well before the film went on floors.
Admitting that it is difficult for Bollywood aspirants to survive and make a mark for themselves in the industry without a godfather or relatives from the film fraternity, the actress said, "If your first film does not do well, nobody takes you seriously." Manjari said she had to struggle for two years after the release of her first film to be noticed in 'Jaane Tu....' "I utilised this time to prepare myself and watched different movies, read books, trained myself in dancing at Shiamak Davar's institute and lost weight," she laughed. "I kept a low profile even as I did a Bengali film called 'Faltu' which won a national award recently in the social awareness category. Besides, I also did a Telugu film and will start work on a Tamil film soon," she said.
