<p>Besides, like all 26-year-olds, Mamta too has marriage on her mind. She is also all set to tie the knot with her childhood friend currently living in Bahrain. <br /><br />Mamta may not have a long list of films to show off but the ones that she has done were all strong characters and she is popular for the controversial roles she played. <br /><br /> Mamta will soon be playing the character of Leela in director Ranjith’s ‘Leela’. “It’s a double role and both the characters are polar opposites. I have to play two different people altogether,” she says. <br /><br />In Soumyam Deeptham, a thriller in Malayalam, Mamta dons the role of a witness who gets involved in the aftermath of the tragedy and the character of Soumya is played by a newcomer. “Soumya is brutally raped in a train and is later thrown off the train. I play the character who witnesses the whole thing. While the others on the train actually steer of clear any controversy, I come forward to talk about the murder. It’s a real story and my role is a bold one,” she explains. <br /><br />She has also been offered the lead role in Mammootty’s first home production, Mathilukalkkapuram, which is a sequel to Adoor’s famous Mathilukal. <br /><br />“It’s prestigious film and my role is exciting,” she says. Mamta was offered a glamourous role in Bila 2 in Tamil. “I don’t want to commit to any movies right now. My role in Bila... was said to be a glamourous one and I don’t want to trigger anything new in my career by taking up that role,” she reasons. <br /><br />And Bollywood too came knocking on her doors but the young lass is staying away from taking up a role that’s a little out of the way. <br /><br />Mamta has sung for a couple of movies and she’s contemplating a career in the music industry, for a change. <br /><br />Mamta was struck by cancer a year ago and fought through it. She confesses that she has only emerged stronger. “I never shied away from talking about my illness to anyone. I was open about it and that really help. Even during my illness, I would still wear my make-up and go to work and would shoot like normal,” she says.<br /><br />“I am glad God chose me for the illness. Anybody else would have broken down,” Mamta adds.</p>
