Genelia has a clean image in the industry so far. Her roles have been that of a bubbly, energetic and girl-next-door characters. This image might change, if what the sources reveal are true.
According to sources, she was asked recently if she is willing to do a bikini role. She responded saying that she is ready to do such roles if the script really demands it. She has reportedly added that the scene should not be shot in an obscene manner.
However we have to wait for a formal confirmation on this and it also remains to be seen if her new image is well accepted by the audience who have adored her the way she is.
Genny is arriving with her new movie ‘Katha’ soon.
Genelia’s may have acted in just a couple of Tamil films but this lady has carved a niche for herself in the Telugu and Hindi film industry. With the impending release of the Bollywood flick Life Partner where she plays the lead role, there are rumors that with this film’s success Genelia could hike her pay packet to Rs. 2 crore.
On her take on wearing a bikini or doing bold scenes, the actress says that she has no inhibitions about it but wouldn’t do such a thing just to create an impact. The actress adds that if her role demands such a scene she would act it out.
Though the whole world has been reeling under the recession, it must be said that such things don’t seem to apply to the heroines of the Telugu circuit. Apparently, as per the latest reports, it is said that leading from the front is ‘andaala khazana’ Ileana, the buxom beauty Anushka and the bubbly beauty Genelia are in the one crore plus club and following them closely are the petite beauty Trisha, hot Malayalam beauty Nayantara and the apple pie beauty Hansika Motwani.
Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza can continue shouting from rooftops that they are not seeing each other but fact is that the two have been romantically involved for many years now. This picture of them hanging out together at a Mahim restaurant was taken on Saturday night, where the two were celebrating the success of Ritesh’s father Vilasrao Deshmukh being appointed as the Central Minister of Heavy Industries.
According to an onlooker, initially Ritesh, Genelia and their friends walked into the restaurant Goa Portuguesa but they promptly decided to not dine there as it was brightly lit. After that, they walked into Culture Curry, which was dimly lit.
The onlooker, who was present at the restaurant when the two walked in together, said, “Ritesh and Genelia came in with a couple of friends at 9.30pm to Culture Curry and were in a relaxed mood. Both of them were in the mood to celebrate the fact that Ritesh’s father was respectfully reinstated as one of the ministers. Ritesh and Genelia were wary of being photographed as they do not make public appearances together as they have kept their relationship under wraps.”
“I somehow managed to click their picture when they were seated inside the restaurant. They had ordered for traditional south Indian food. They were together for over two hours and were comfortable with several fans who occasionally approached them for autographs. While they readily gave autographs, they refused to be photographed together,” said the onlooker.
“We wonder why they are hiding their relationship when they look so good together and seem so completely in love?” added the source.

Sometimes, the news about an actresses’ refusal carries as much spice as her agreement on any issue does. Genelia is no exception to the rule. Following her smashing success in Bollywood with ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, buzz has it that the petite actress has demanded a salary of Rs 1 Crore for her films.
To put things in perspective, it must be realized that this is no big money to seek in an industry as big as Bollywood’s, where actresses are paid over even Rs 5 crores. And Genelia, who made a forceful reentry in Bollywood with the Imran starrer, had anyway demanded upto Rs 70 lakhs for her other films, including the remake of ‘Santhosh Subramaniyam’, in Hindi.
But if it is true that producers have agreed to pay Genie, as she is fondly called, the Rs 1 crore remuneration, she would be the next South Indian actress after Nayantara and Anushka to charge the fee.
But any questions about this touchy issue was met with fierce denial by those on Genie’s camp, who said she has not been demanding more than she deserves. One only wonders who said she doesn’t deserve the eight-digit salary.
