Akshay has a killer smile: Pooja Singh

Actor Pooja Singh, who starred with Akshay Kumar in the new Thumbs Up commercial says the Bollywood star is a hottie and has a killer smile.

What was it like doing the Thums Up commercial with one of Bollywood's hottest hunks, Akshay Kumar?
(Laughs) Yes, he is no doubt very hot - but he's also very genuine. I'd say he's a real hero and very macho, 'cause he did all his stunts. In fact during the shoot in Cape Town, he even burnt his leg when the clutch of the buggy failed and we went straight on into a dune. It was an adventure working with him!

What's the hottest aspect about him?
His smile - he has a killer smile.

Besides Akshay, even SRK and Zayed Khan are doing soft drink ads. Which one's your favourite?
Now, that's a tricky question (laughs). They're all my favourites! It's great that we can now watch them on our screen without having to pay for a ticket.

Do you only drink Thums Up or do you play the field when it comes to soft drinks?
(Laughing) Hey, I'm not the brand ambassador for Thums Up yet. I drink all kinds of soft drinks.

You're also doing a Bollywood film?
Yes, I'm shooting for Raj Sippy's 'Jimmy' opposite Mithun Chakraborthy's son, Mimoh. It's a thriller and I play a bubbly, modern girl in it. I'm also looking at some big banners down South.

So was modelling always a stepping stone to the big screen?
I was four years old when I said I wanted to be Sridevi (laughs). I think modelling polishes you, because you become more comfortable in front of the camera.
