“I'm not in a rat race”

She has appeared in numerous dance numbers in movies and has done several reality TV shows. With films like “Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year” (2009), “Game” (2011), “Ishaqzaade” (2012) under her belt and “Fever” awaiting release this year, Gauahar Khan says she isn't looking to sign movies for the sake of it.

“I have picked the best [offers],” says Gauahar about her career, which has been going a little slow. She adds, “I won't lie and say that I have been getting offers left, right and centre, and that I was turning down movies. But I didn't want to be in films where I wasn't doing much acting. I want people to remember my character after they walk out of the theatre. I am not in a rat race. I am moving at my own pace, and I want to stand out.”

Though Gauahar has a glamorous image, she is happy that her parts in movies do not fall under that category. “I am glamorous in my personal life and in the songs I have danced for in films. But that isn't the case with my roles. From 'Rocket Singh' and 'Game' to 'Ishaqzaade' – I have never played a fashionable girl,” she says. 

“Today, everything I have is because of Allah and the love, appreciation, recognition and acceptance I have received,” said the actress.
