Amrita Arora gets new home

Actress Amrita Arora, who was a resident of Andheri here, recently bought a new home in Bandra and moved in with her parents. "It's a dream house. And my parents have shifted in with me. Everyone dreams of owning a house that would be just perfect! I've reached that dream, I guess," Amrita told IANS on phone from Prague.

With the shift of residence, she's now a stone's throw away from her sister Malaika. "So we are all at a shouting distance from one another," the actress remarked.

After Priyanka Chopra in "Don" and Aishwarya Rai in "Umrao Jaan", who have been given the thankless task of re-doing roles immortalised by Zeenat Aman and Rekha respectively, it's petite Amrita's turn to do a Saira Banu in the remake of the 1972 hit "Victoria No. 203".

"Please don't scare me. Comparisons are so paralysing." However, she is extremely excited about the film.

"I'm very excited because a lot of people feel I resemble Saira Banuji. In half the film I get to masquerade as a man. And yes, I'll be doing Sairaji's sizzling towel dance in 'Victoria No. 203'," laughed Amrita.

In the original, Saira Banu had brought the house down doing the sensuous dance number "Thodasa thehro". It remains to be seen whether producer Kamal Sadanah and director Ananth Mahadevan retain the original Lata Mangeshkar track.
