I am here to: Linda Arsenio

She sizzled the screen with her hot bikini act in Aloo Chat and made quite a mark in her role of the fearless journalist in Kabul Express a couple of years back. At a time when firang babes are proving to be the new flavour of Bollywood, Linda Arsenio sure is one gal who���s proving to be hot property. So, what is it that sets her apart from the many other babes out there?
���I���ve been around for more than three years now.And I���m clear about the fact that unlike many others who disappear after one movie or something, I���m here to stay. I���ve a long way to go and am working hard towards it. I don���t want to remain content just by doing blink-and-miss appearances in a few flicks,��� says Linda, who has just landed herself a role in in an untitled film opposite Bobby Deol.
And what about her Hindi diction? ���I���m taking Hindi lessons very seriously. And I think I have improved quite a bit over the years,��� she says. That she means business is evident from the fact that Linda hasn���t limited herself to doing just Bollywood. Rather she hasn���t hesitated to experiment with all genres. While she started her career with Tamil and Telugu films, she has just completed a Malayalam venture ��� Pazhassi Raja ��� based on the pre-Independence era (18th century). ���Working with stalwarts like Mammooty was in itself such an achievement. It had a humbling effect on me, and there was so much that I learnt from him.��� And so deep was her involvement with the film, that she went all the way to the interiors of Kerala to visit Pazhassi Raja���s memorial. ���Kerala is one place that simply left me fascinated. It was just awesome,��� Linda says.
But what is it that brought her to India in the first place? ���I think I���ve some kind of an inherent connection with India. Although I never had anyone living here, India as a country always fascinated me. And I always wanted to come here,��� says the American beauty. That���s not all, Linda���s Indian connection has also got her a role in an international crossover project on Indira Gandhi, the details of which she says is too early to discuss. ���But, yes, talks are on for such a project,��� she confirms.
