Marriage, movies, masti

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">Life is beautiful. Actress Rinke Khanna won’t disagree. Still on a high after her wedding last month, Rinke’s now looking forward to the release of two of her films — Mango Souffle and Jhankar Beats. Both, she says, are completely different from each other.<br /><br />The first, a film directed by Bangalore-based Mahesh Dattani, will release nation-wide on February 28.“I am really excited,� says Rinke, whose first film was Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi. “Mango Souffle is about my journey from being a person who is unsure of herself, but who goes on to accept herself the way she is.�<br /><br />After the dismal performance of her first film at the box office, it’s not surprising when she says that Mango Souffle is the most complete role she’s ever done. “I had to come across as someone very confused about herself, and it was a wonderful role to play.� Working with the brilliant Atul Kulkarni was one of the perks of this film. “He made my job so much easier because he’s so correct in what he’s doing.�<br /><br />In Jhankar Beats, Rinke’s going through a divorce with on-screen husband Rahul Bose. “In that film, the boys are in the forefront. We play the love interest.� But she’s not complaining. In front of a camera or on stage, Rinke just loves to perform. “It’s something I am extremely passionate about. It’s satisfying and fulfilling.�<br /><br />Presently, she’s spending time with her husband Sameer’s family in Kolkata. “Life is definitely different after marriage. Yet, it’s wonderful,� she gushes. But whether she’s going to stay in India or move to London with her husband remains undecided. <br /><br />“I would definitely love to continue to work. But this industry is such that they decide that after you marry you should stop acting. Luckily, the kind of people I’ve worked with aren’t like that.� <br /><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">kanakhirani@indiatimes.com</span></div> </div>
