The next director she works with should be really, really scared when he calls Cut!


The next director she works with should be really, really scared when he calls "Cut"!

But is this Susairaj chick really sharp? Or the Sandalwood version of a blond bimbette?

Who gets out of jail, three years after cutting a boyfriend to bits ufffd and then has the gall to throw a press conference where her lawyer argues that she is innocent ufffd because the corpse hadn't been cut into three hundred bits: merely five!

In the finest acting role of her lifetime, she alternated between being teary, appearing demure and showcasing flashes of steel. At church, all cameras on her, art directed droplets were allowed to escape from her carefully held handkerchief.

At the press con, amid her "caught-in-the-headlights-innocent-deer-look", she told us she wasn't ready to comment on the murder, the Grovers or her trial. Really now! What did the Press, and the people glued to their screens, really want to know about? The name of the designer whose clothes she was wearing her first day of freedom?u00a0

Sometimes, you just have to wonder what was going on in her mind when she was asked how the Grovers would be feeling and she replied: You know they must be really sad. It's really bad when you lose someone in your family!" Maria, oh you wise one!

The next guy she goes out with had better wits as sharp as her kitchen knives. The moment he overhears her making plans to make kheema the next day, is his hint to run as fast as he can.

One press conference down and filmmakers have started falling all over themselves to offer her a role in their forthcoming blockbusters. Maria, rumour goes, is being asked to star in the remake of Saat Khoon Maaf. The Akhtars are hurriedly casting her for an alternative end to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

The Hindi rights for "Snip" is now being bought by her agent. And RGV is propping up his sagging career with a vitamin shot of her acting in a new movie called Kaat Karke Doon.

She has all the makings of a starlet. She takes two am flights to "escape" the paparazzi. Carefully leaks various destinations she is "supposed"to be staying at.u00a0 Is mum about her plans for the future. Insists that Neeraj Grover was just a "friend". And throws press cons with abandon.

One victim later, and her news rankings shine far above the rest of the wannabe herd. From a Who's She, she's made the cut into a Who's Who.u00a0

When somebody told her to make a stab at being a star, she did. Literally.
