Your Chak De character: She was one of the senior players, along with Bindya and Aliya. For her, the team was more important than personal glory.

Life after Chak De: Before Chak De, I'd done a cameo in Saara Aakash. I hated the experience and had sworn off scripted fiction. Luckily, Chak De happened immediately, and it changed my mind about films and television series.

I'm doing a film called Mere Khwaabon Mein Jo Aaye, directed by Madhureeta. My character is slightly negative, a bit of a troublemaker. I even have my own song in the film.

My second film is Aamras, directed by Rupali Guha. I feel this film is a chick version of Dil Chahta Hain -- it is about four close friends during their last year at school.

I tried my hand at being a radio jockey for a month. It was an interesting experience but I prefer the visual medium.

I have been offered reality shows on TV but not the ones I wanted. I would have loved to be a part of Fear Factor, which Vidya Malvade got to do.

Fans are all sweet. The MTV generation recognise me from Roadies while the older ones know me as Gunjan. I was out for dinner at a Delhi restaurant and my hand was in a cast. People I've never met before showed concern. It was weird but also really sweet.

Are you in touch with SRK and rest of the hockey team? I'm in touch with all the girls. We can't meet very often as we're all busy with our own schedule. Chitrashi (Komal), for example, was in Mauritius shooting for Madhur Bhandarkar's film. Now, she's in South Africa shooting a film with Shruti Haasan and Imran Khan.
