After creating ripples in a commercial, model Sanah Khan gets to share screen space with Shahrukh Khan.

After creating ripples in a commercial, model Sanah Khan gets to share screen space with Shahrukh Khan. Until Sanah Khan washed dirty laundry on screen for an ad, she used to be just another face. Today the 19 year old, who has 15 commercials tucked under her trim belt, is one of the most talked about models in Mumbai. Sanah has even shot with none other than Shahrukh Khan for an ad. Was doing the 'brief ' commercial awkward? Sanah says, "When I received the offer, I mentally said 'no' to myself. I imagined it'll have a man in his bare essentials , and would also require me to expose. But when the production team read out the script to me, I felt it'll be a different concept to work on."
Quiz her about the curiosity and controversy the commercial has managed to generate and she says, "It was just a normal ad for me. I didn't expect it to create such a response. I agree, some words do have double meanings in the commercial but they aren't overtly vulgar."
Meanwhile Sanah has already moved on to other interesting projects, one of them being a fairness cream commercial with Shahrukh. "I'm a big SRK fan. He was so nice and down-to-earth . He was just like one of us."
Besides commercials, Sanah's also done an item number in the TV serial Meri Doli Tere Angana. But, she says she's "not interested" in television for now: "It's films that I'm looking at," she says, adding, "Everybody can't be a SRK. Very few people have successfully survived the transition. I don't want to expose myself too much on television before giving films a shot."

Till then, it's modelling all the way. "It'll have to be print and television commercials for me. My height (5.5") is hardly sufficient for me to walk the ramp," says Sanah. The lissome Mumbaikar started working after she completed school. "But it's only after my HSC that I made a serious attempt to improve my style and look good." So, are her parents happy with her choice? "Oh, they are most supportive. Even my friends get excited every time they either see me on TV or read my interviews," laughs Sanah. Way to go girl!
