Genelia: Nothing has changed after marriage


Genelia: Nothing has changed after marriage


Newly-wed actress Genelia D'Souza will be seen mentoring 11 young girls on the TV show Lux The Chosen One. This is Genelia's second TV show after Big Switch.

Genelia will play mentor to the contestants, giving them style tips and helping to refine their dress sense, and also guiding them with personal motivational talk.

The girls are from five different cities of the country.

Lux The Chosen One is an official hunt for the face of UTV STARS. One celebrity guest will appear in each of the 10 episodes. Priyanka Chopra, Rana Duggubati, Shahid Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor are among them.

The show went on air from Saturday.

In this interview, Genelia talks about the show and why she chose to do it.

Why did you choose to do this particular show?

Lux The Chosen One is the perfect platform that I would have chosen to groom myself before I entered the industry.

Be it my ads or films, I have always played a girl who one can relate to and this show is like that too. I relate to those girls. I know how and where I can help them build themselves in this glamorous world of Bollywood.

What exactly is your role as a mentor in the show?

I am a friend, confidante and guide to the contestants on the show. I set them tasks and give them moral support as they complete the tasks. I am also a part of the elimination process.
