\n\u201cAfter my daughter Nayantara was born (now almost 6 years old), I had to cut down on my travelling. So, I mainly walk for the Delhi fashion week. In any case, Mumbai\u2019s choreographers don\u2019t seem to miss me much,\u201d she laughs. \u201cI have already sold my flat here. So I don\u2019t come here all that often,\u201d admits Noyonika, who has done a small role in Madhur Bhandarkar\u2019s upcoming movie Fashion.
\n\u201cI wouldn\u2019t call it a role; all I did was walk down the ramp. You will barely see me in the movie. But it was different from our usual rehearsals. In films, they do so many retakes! I had to shoot for 14 days and for a large part of the shoot, I was clad in the same outfit. Now, I hate the sight of it!\u201d she laughs, adding that she\u2019s not meant for the movies.
\n\u201cMovies need a lot of time\u2014that too time away from home. Priyanka (Chopra) even asked me to assist her in her styling, but I had to turn her down as it was making too many demands on my time,\u201d notes Noyonika, whose daughter too has walked the ramp for a few shows. \u201cI will support my daughter\u2019s choice – whatever it may be. She\u2019s too young now\u2014so she keeps changing her plans every two days,\u201d she winks.
\nComing back to her career Noyonika says, \u201cThe industry has become more organised and professional. At the same time, it has become very superficial and commercial; you are because of your work and nothing more. So staying around for the next five years sounds like \u2018pushing it\u2019,\u201d she emphasises.
\nWhat then are her plans? \u201cI plan to begin with an exhibition of kids\u2019 products\u2014toys and the like. I will expand and maybe even set up a kids\u2019 store,\u201d she reveals.
\nWhat are her other interests? \u201cI love music, reading and going for the movies. Also, Delhi may be a beautiful place with good roads and monuments, but Mumbai\u2019s people definitely score higher in comparision. I love Mumbai a lot,\u201d she smiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
