Gul Panag: Starting a family is a very responsible decision

Gul Panag's last film Turning 30 might not have worked wonders at the box office but that doesn't deter her. In fact, she takes pride that it was one of the highest pirated films last year! The actress seems quite excited about her upcoming film Fatso, due to release this Friday. Directed by Rajat Kapoor, the film also stars Ranvir Shorey and Purab Kohli. In a candid chat with Sonil Dedhia, Gul Panag discusses her married life, her plans to start a family, and of course, her movies.

Tell us about your film Fatso. It's a fun film about five friends, one of whom is fat and loved by all. It is also the story of three boys trying to woo this girl, the object of their desire. My character, Nandini, is very different from other roles I have played. You might have seen me playing a headstrong woman. In Fatso, I just exist. She is unaware of how good-looking she is. The film looks at attraction and love that goes beyond good looks.

You are working with Ranvir Shorey for the first time... Yes, I had met him through a common friend and our thoughts matched a lot. He follows current affairs, something that I am very interested in. Fatso is about a fat guy. Have you in real life ever loved a fat guy?

Yes, my first proper boyfriend was almost 20 kilos overweight. My father was posted in Africa for three years. I met this guy and I knew he liked me. I was also drawn to his personality. We were together for some time but then he dumped me. Imagine someone dumping me! (Laughs). I was heartbroken for a year and couldn't do anything during that time.
