Asianbusinesswoman, model and actress Zara Adams, who is UK-born of Pakistani andIrani parents, thought somebody was playing the fool when asked to audition fora role in the next James Bondfilm.���I was shocked, myreaction was ��� are you kidding? I do know that a Bond girl is the ultimatestrong, intelligent, independent, sex symbol.
And to play such a character is tome more of an aspiration than a dream,��� the editor and publisher of a UKtalent magazine told BT. The film starring Daniel Craig as Bond, naturally, iscalled
Quantum ofSolace, and Zara who looks likeHollywood���s Angelina Jolie and Bollywood���s Jiah Khan, is excited byher audition. ���Daniel Craig is so intense,��� she said of the star sheis likely to be making love to on screen. ���Well, who would be able toresist that,��� she asked demurely, ���But I don���t regard myselfas a sex symbol despite some people trying to make me out to be one.���She���s 25, stands 5 feet5 inches in her stockings, has irresistible figure, but had such a strict Muslimupbringing that it was only lately that she saw her first film.Bollywood, of course, cameknocking on her door soon enough. She���s in talks with Satish Kaushik, SevyAli and Anubhav Sinha. She thinks Aamir Khan is a superb actor, but Shah RukhKhan has this larger than life persona and is really cool. And if Bollywooddoesn���t claim her soon, then Hollywood might.LA agents are after her, andOscar-nominated director Alex Jovy is considering her for his next filmCyrus theGreat. ���I will also be meeting KevinCostner sometime soon,��� Zara said helpfully, adding, ���It���s mydesire to act and it doesn���t matter where the offer comes from... as longas the script is good and I have a substantial role to play and can justify it,I will look into it.���
