lightboy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:8 IST)

Do models turned actresses compete for the same role? How about Namrata Shirodkar, Heera Rajgopal?

Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:9 IST)

Sanjay (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:9 IST)

What are you wearing pooja?


Guruji (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:9 IST)

Pooja, how much did you get paid to do Virasat? Is it money that prompted you to switch to acting from modelling?


Yess-Boss (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:10 IST)

hey rediff ppl .. is she da one ?


khopdi (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:10 IST)

u left mba for modelling, and then films. too much work, too less money, no glamour or just uninterested? i'm sure u had no dearth of jobs...


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:10 IST)

Pooja how old are you?


Sanjay (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:10 IST)

Manish (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:10 IST)

Pooja Arent you avoiding the dubbing question....?


anjali (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:11 IST)

pooja who does your wardrobe? i love you in those glorious sarees(the marriage song in virasaat)


anurag (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:11 IST)

Pooja: what kind of roles would you prefer to do (initially) comedy, dance numbers (the kind Karishma did with Govinda initially) or serious roles like Madhuri.


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:11 IST)

Veeru: It was a treat working with them, I learnt a lot, Priyan is a hard task master and Anil is a dedicated actor and I was lucky to get such a project. Especially with Priyan as my director in pratically my first film.


pujari (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:12 IST)

are u coming to states in near future


Guruji (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:12 IST)

Pooja, they say you need a "godfather" (meaning a real father or someone you sleep with) to get a break in the movies. What did you have to do to get this break?


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:12 IST)

Are you the real Pooja? I thought the chat was cancelled for today.


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:13 IST)

Anil Kapoor (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:13 IST)

So how was it like working with me Pooja!!!


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:13 IST)

Altaf and Mogambo: I did not dub for the second half of the film, thats why the change in my accent. It was dubbed by Padmini Kolhapuri. *pssst* Don't tell it to anybody. (I guess the whole world knows about it.)


Moorthy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:13 IST)

Hi Pooja, I would like to know you... if you dont mind. NO, dont worry I am not a cranky fan of yours.I haven't seen Virasat. Frankly, I saw your interview in Star movies and I liked your attitude and decided I need to get to know you. I am at present working in Bangalore. Would you care to answer me pleeeeeeeease.


Mogambo- (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:14 IST)

Pooja: How do you spend your free time ? Hobbies ? (and you still havent told me if someone dubbed for you in Virasat) and of course I have to say that you looked really good in the second half in your sari! :-)


mrhonest (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:14 IST)

why dont you guys use a real Java chatting applet instead of this annoying thing.. but I love you none the less.


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:15 IST)

Anil Kapoor: Hey man why didn't you wear heels to make life easier.*giggle*


lightboy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:15 IST)

What are you missing as an actress, but had as a model?


anurag (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:16 IST)

Pooja: is it true that you are dating Arman Kohli? If no then who are you currently dating?


Manish (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:16 IST)

Pooja... Any films coming up with Kajol as a co-star? Its said that you and Kads dont get along well AT ALL...?


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:16 IST)

Pooja: Are you a good cook? or you usually go out to eat


a short girl (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:16 IST)

Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:17 IST)

Guruji: You need a godfather:-). Tell me if you want to get films and I'll get you good breaks.


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:17 IST)

Hey Pooja: You didn't answer me. Are you from DELHI?


ANIL KAPOOR (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:17 IST)

Hi Pooja, Nice to see you Chatting on the Rediff Chat. I also had this great exprience before. Great, enjoy it...


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:18 IST)

A short girl: Play basket ball, and do pull-ups and swimming everyday, You have a year-and-a-half to grow if you are actually seventeen.


ALTAF (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:18 IST)

Pooja, could you tell why you didn't dub the rest of the movie. I've heard that when actors/actresses have something against the management(low pay, less role, etc.) they don't show up for dubbing.


BEAST (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:18 IST)

can I have ur fan mail address ..... PLEASE ......... POOJAji


Sanjay (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:18 IST)

Beewax Pot Jam..Soup Arm Astra Angta Tachya

chalte hain woh bhee karvat badal badal ke jinko sikhaya humne chalna sambhalke....


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:18 IST)

Pooja: when r u gonna be in the US of A ?


meethi (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:19 IST)

you know what... i dont think you will last in the movie scene...specially with your height and dumb looks.. maybe you should stick to modelling...warna you will be like the Dhobi ka kutta...na ghar ka na ghaat ka...:) sorry..but sometimes you have to be harsh to people for their own good...


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:19 IST)

Lightboy: My privacy. Delhi-ite: I'm from India and I'm an Indian


Guruji (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:20 IST)

Hey Rediff. Stop calling this "Lively, provocative chat". She's skirting all the provocative questions and answering all the lame ones. If I wanted the information she's dishing out here I could as well go and read some stupid magazine like Mayapuri or something. For all I know it might just be her PR guys sitting out there answering questions.


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:20 IST)

Pooja: are u gonna give me one of your snap or you gonna dissapoint this huge fan of yours (better than Khaitan fan)


anurag (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:20 IST)

Pooja: You haven't answered a single question that I've asked. What's going on?


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:20 IST)

You haven't answered me. How old are you?


a short girl (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:21 IST)

thanx miss pooja.. :-)


Ameen (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:21 IST)

Pooja: OH Kudi, when are you getting married?


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:21 IST)

Meethi: If I was that harsh and dumb looking, my dear sweet Meethi, I wouldn't have lasted till so long and lets wait for time to tell, we see how lasts in whichever field. Chow till then, my sweetest Meethi.


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:22 IST)

Pooja: I like that Indian Attitude of yours. Even Iam proud to be an INDIAN....well everyone should be


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:22 IST)

Ameen: Oye Munde waiting for you I guess;-)


Manish (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:23 IST)

Pooja.. its common knowledge that things arent going well between you and Kajol... care to elaborate?


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:23 IST)

Alisha: Keep guessing.


mrhonest (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:23 IST)

Hey Pooja tell those jokers to connect you to irc.voicenet.com or some other Efnet server and come to channel #india.. tons of people what to talk to you..


Sanjay (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:23 IST)

Pooja: Since you are an student of economics. Can u tell us, how liberalsiation has changed India and Indians????? :) :)


BEAST (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:24 IST)

this server is reallu slow... anyway if even it would have been fast I wouldn't have been to chat as I am not getting my replies back..... *I think I should be off*


Mogambo- (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:24 IST)

Pooja: If the world were to come to an end in another 24 hrs, what would you wish ? :-)


Moorthy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:24 IST)

Hey Pooja, Are you interested in music? If so what kind of music do you listen to? I am a music crazy guy, listen to all kinds of music which has melody and which is soothing.


Guruji (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:24 IST)

pooja, you said you could get me good breaks in films. I won't have to sleep with somebody or anything will I (unless its you).


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:24 IST)

Manish: I have never met Kajol. I think you are confused:-). Anurag: Please repeat your question.


ALTAF (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:24 IST)

REDIFF: Is this the real Pooja Batra? And I agree with Guruji, for all we know it could be anybody.


Armyman (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:25 IST)

hello!!


hola (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:25 IST)

hello, Pooja, any films with Akshay (sorry if repeat)


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:26 IST)

pooja: do i get a chance to meet you sometime, when Im back in India or when you come to USA?


Armyman (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:26 IST)

Pooja, Armyman's are very strict about timings. And you also are from that family background. Than why you were late today?


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:26 IST)

Mogambo: I would wish the same. Because its polluted. I'll go and sit on the moon.


BEAST (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:26 IST)

Every INDIAN is proud of being ...... u know what i say "THERE ARE ONLY 2 KINDS OF PPL IN THE WORLD... INDIANS & THOSE WHO WISH THEY WERE"


lightboy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:26 IST)

What kind of vacation do you opt? Does it really keep you away from the buzz?


mohanbb (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:26 IST)

Pooja, You have a great career in Hindi movies! But since you're near six foot tall (?), you'd never be able to act in South Indian movies, esp. Tamil and Malayalam movies where the average actor's height is prob. less than 5'6". They'll barely reach up to your shoulders. But judging by your great performance in Virasat, you're going to be a big time star in Hindi films. Keep up the great work!


ALTAF (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:27 IST)

Pooja or the person typing for her: The correct spelling for "Chow" is CIAO.... unless were talking slang for chowmein.


anurag (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:27 IST)

Pooja: 1) Are you currently dating Arman Kohli? If not then who are you seeing right now. 2) Will you be dubbing your own movies? 3)What kind of roles are you looking to do comedy, dance number types or serious roles. 4) Where do you see your self in the indusry 2 years from now?


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:27 IST)

BEAST: Way to go man


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:27 IST)

20?


hola (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:27 IST)

Pooja, who's the prettiest and sweetest Ms. India in the recent past?


Mogambo- (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:28 IST)

Pooja: Are you the real Pooja Batra ? Actually to tell you the truth, I entered this site which said "live chat with Laaloo Yadav" and what do I find ? "Pooja Batra" live! Cool! (hey you still didnt tell me.. what wwould you wish for if the world were to come to an end in 24hrs ? :-)


Surekha1 (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:29 IST)

Pooja, Sorry of all the days today my computer is so slow I am getting so bugged that I missed out all your conversation - now tell me were you in Madras around 1st week of May at Residency Hotel, cos I thought I saw someone like you going out at around 10.45 in the night - was it you ? And then when I went back to my room at Taj I saw Tabu walking out - were you two meeting there in Madras or something ?


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:29 IST)

Pooja are you in your early 20's?????


BEAST (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:30 IST)

Hey POOJA why don't to connect to the INDIA channel in ALAMAK chat mode it's must faster... this is tooo slow, doesn't it pisses you off???


ALTAF (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:31 IST)

Mogambo: Laloo's busy playing with his $$$millions$$$. no time for such stuff...


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:31 IST)

Are you there POOJA!!!! Are you the real POOJA!!!!


Prabhu Deva (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:31 IST)

hi ms.pooja!! If u were ever offered a chance to act in tamil movies..would you ?


Armyman (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:31 IST)

Pooja, Armyman's are very strict about timings. And you also are from that family background. Than why you were late today?


pujari (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:31 IST)

do you like ram gopal verma ' direction


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:32 IST)

Pooja: R U there?


Surekha1 (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:32 IST)

Rediff - why is this going so slow or is it only my computer here in Bangalore ????


mrhonest (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:33 IST)

Pooja: how talk are you


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:33 IST)

Pooja are you there???????


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:33 IST)

Anurag : a} No and no:-) b] Yes I have dubbed for Bhai and I will be dubbing for all my other films.c] I wanna do something that relates to the teenagers... Comedy, women-oriented and probably a shade of negative here and there. d] Two years from now I see myself doing the kind of roles Tabu is doing right now, a li'l more on the arty side.


lightboy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:33 IST)

ANIL: When did you end your tour with Amitabh?


mohanbb (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:33 IST)

Pooja, I should've added a :-) next to my prev. comment. If you make it big in Hindi films, I'm sure South Indian directors will find a way out. Maybe your heroes could stand on stools when they act with you :-)


BEAST (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:33 IST)

hey DELHI-ITE ... where from DELHI???? I am from DELHI tooo


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:34 IST)

Friends! i guess POOJA has left the chat room


Moorthy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:34 IST)

Hey, how come Pooja is so silent in chat mode whereas she is bubbly in interviews and films? Hey Pooja, what's happening?


ALTAF (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:34 IST)

Surekha:You can say that again. This is real slow even with my T3 connection. I mean tell me a faster connection that I can get than this.


Tom (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:35 IST)

Pooja, are you doing South Indian films.


Mogambo- (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:35 IST)

Pooja: You still around ??


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:35 IST)

Surekha: Yes it was me, and I was shooting there and all that you saw was post shooting. The film was Chandralekha *Malyalam*


Guruji (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

Guys, this SUCKS! This server is too slow, she's not answering the provocative questions and now she's disappeared (and i still dont know if she was real). Its lame. I am gone. Bye. H


lightboy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

Pooja, dont sleep on yr. computer. Wake up please!


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

BEAST: Jor Bagh! What abt you? If i remember right POOJA is from Nehru Place


anurag (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

What do you look for in a guy. What kind of guys are you attracted to? Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?


Surekha1 (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

Knock Knock - are you there Pooja ?


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

Mohanbb: Maybe I'll start a trend. Any doubts?


BEAST (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

This BEAUTY is too busy. She's even not replying me back ...... SO R THERE ANY OTHER BEAUTIES IN THE HOUSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO CHAT???


Armyman (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

Pooja, why are you not answering the questions?


mrhonest (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:36 IST)

Pooja: are you doing your own typing or is nerd boy typing for you?


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:37 IST)

Anurag: Intelligence, great sense of humor, maturity. I'm in between an extrovert and an introvert.


Mogambo- (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:37 IST)

Pooja: What would you say if I asked you out on a Cyberdate ? :-) (I wont even tell Arman Kohli or whoever you are dating :-) Kaano-kaan khabar nahin hogi :-)


Moorthy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:37 IST)

Pooja, Will i get a chance to meet ya in B'lore? Long stories to tell you........


maurya (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:37 IST)

Hi Pooja, Every actor/actress has a dream role in mind. What is in your mind?


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:38 IST)

Beast : I'm not dumb, I did reply to your question:-) No liars here----Liar liar


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:38 IST)

Pooja: Im gonna quit now. Just tell me are you gonna send me a snap or not?


Alisha (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:38 IST)

PPOOOOOOJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAA --- We love you


Surekha1 (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:38 IST)

Pooja - who designed your clothes for Virasat - I felt the short skirts were making you look taller than the hero - don't you think so ?


A_Kareem (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:38 IST)

Are you there in Malayalam Movie - Chandraleha? Who directs it? Who is your hero?


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:39 IST)

Maurya: My dream role is to play a lady pilot or something like the actress in The Point Of No Return.


Guruji (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:39 IST)

Maybe I should have picked to come chat with a more interesting person like Sheshan or something. Movie actors are good only for looking at (sometimes in movies) and not to chat to.


mrhonest (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:39 IST)

anurag: you are a moron


BEAST (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:39 IST)

DELHI-ITE I don't know about POOJA asshe's not even replying back.... well I am from Naraina Industrial Area, have u ever heard of that place??? *smile*


Pooja Batra. (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:39 IST)

A-Kareem: The director is Priyadarshan and the actor is Mohanlal and the name of the film is Chandralekha.


ALTAF (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:40 IST)

Pooja, don't you think Indian films are just blindly aping the west? I mean where is the "Indian Stuff".


rameshr (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:40 IST)

Pooja you also done a calendar pose for Global Boards didn't you You look superb there


maurya (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:41 IST)

Hi Pooja, please respond. tell me about your dream role


lightboy (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:41 IST)

Now that you have turned an actress, when can we expect you to become a rock musician?


anurag (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:41 IST)

Pooja: Can you relate an experience in your life that changed you and/or moved you the most? Do you consider your self an independent girl? If yes then why?


delhi-ite (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:41 IST)

BYE POOJA


Pankaj (Fri Jun 27 1997 22:41 IST)
