I want to act with Raghu, says wife Sugandha Garg

After starring in a handful of critically acclaimed films, Bollywood actress Sugandha Garg now wants to act in a film with her husband, TV personality and actor Raghu Ram, and says the project might in fact materialise by next year.

Despite making her debut with a group of new faces, the 27-year-old actress managed to grab the attention of the audience with her spunky role as Shaleen in 'Jaane Tu Ya Jane Na' and went on to star in 'Tere Bin Laden' and 'My Name Is Khan'.

Sugandha said that she now wants to share screen space with Raghu, the MTV Roadies producer who has acted in 'Tees Maar Khan' and 'Jhoota Hi Sahi'. "I have been together with Raghu for eight years and my first job was with him. I think he is a phenomenal actor and I want to do a film with him”. "I have been telling him about the idea but he wants to write the script or get into production. But I am adamant on sharing the screen with him. Hopefully by next year something should come up," Sugandha told PTI.

Raghu has carved a 'bad man' image for himself with his rough behaviour and excessive use of expletives on his shows, but Sugandha says that her spouse is a thorough gentleman in real life.  "Asking me whether Raghu is actually like his image in Roadies is like asking a boxer if he goes and punches his wife at home. We all know he doesn't. Raghu is a complete gentleman," said Sugandha.

The actress is now making her foray into the small screen as a co-anchor, alongwith supermodel Indrani Dasgupta, on a travel show to analyse the character traits of Indian men. "'What's With Indian Men?' is the first reality show of its kind which attempts to understand the mind set of Indian men," said Sugandha.

The show on Fox History and Travel has the two hosts visiting places like Delhi, Amritsar, Jaipur, Kochi, Goa, Mumbai, Benaras, Kolkata and Guwahati. Sugandha, who is also famous for her rockstar image, is a self-proclaimed hardcore traveller. The actress admitted that travelling is a necessity in her life. "I cannot live without travelling, it is compulsory for me to take off for 15 days after I am done with a movie. I have travelled ninety per cent of the country and even visited places that are devoid of electricity," she said.

Sugandha will be next seen in 'Patang' alongside critically acclaimed actress, 'Bandit Queen' star Seema Biswas. The film was screened in competition at the Berlin Film festival and is scheduled to release in India soon. When asked whether she will be taking up serious roles now, Sugandha said, "It is not about being serious or non-serious. I do whatever interesting comes across my way. I do not believe in being cast as the lead or secondary character. For me what matters is the kind of the role and my interest in it."

Sugandha swears by her travel routines, but admitted that films are of primary interest to her.  "If I have to choose between movies and travel shows, I think I will first do a film and then a show. But as of now I really want to do a film. After that, I am looking forward to the second season of 'What's... I think hopefully, it takes place soon," concluded Garg.
