Your Chak De character: Aliya is an outgoing person and one of seniormost players in the team. She is absolutely boy crazy.

Life after Chak De: As an actor, it has become easier to call up people for auditions. The fact that the film was such a huge success was a blessing. Initially, for the first few months, the Chak de media frenzy was really exciting. All of us travelled all over the country. But after a while, it became too much. There was really nothing left to say.

I'm in Nagesh Kukunoor's Aashayein, along with John Abraham. I shaved my head for the film, as I play a cancer patient living out my last days in a hospital. John plays a compulsive gambler. I have also done ads like Fruti and Dove Shampoo.

I want to continue acting. Because of my performance in Aashayein, people don't think I'm glamorous. I'm being offered serious and offbeat roles.

Fans have been nothing but nice. They would first approach me to confirm whether I'm indeed Aliya.

Are you in touch with SRK and rest of the hockey team? Most of us meet now and then. I'm in touch with Kimberly, Shilpa, Shubhi and Vidya. The last time all of us met was at the Screen awards where the cast was nominated for an award.
