My dad has given me this chance to act in his film, which is untitled at the moment. It is a wonderful role in this debut film produced under our home production. I play the character of a girl next door who is vivacious and the same time sensible too. She is out to make her name and presence felt in the corporate world.”
Aarti further informs, “I have a dual role in this film. Apart from being an actress, I have also rendered a song for it. During my schooling in Mathura at ‘AmarnathVidhya Ashram’, I used to participate in singing lot of devotional songs and hymns and thus by God’s grace, this has helped me to love singing too. I am happy about it and looking forward that all my audiences will like my dual roles – as an actor and singer too.”
On quizzing about playing the glam-damn role, Aarti Khetarpal says, “I am confident in glamorous and skin show too. I have played such type in many of my music videos. But there is always a limit about the skin show. One should find comfortable watching a film with the whole family. It is not that glamorous and steamy sexy scenes help in the box-office success of a film. Films should be content-driven, well picturised with good screenplay, dialogue, performances, music – a complete clean entertainer which rings in at the ticket windows.”
After regaling telly lovers, Aarti Khetarpal, daughter of Aushim Khetarpal is ready to face challenges and willing to stay in the long run as an actress in this healthy competition with her counterparts.
