<p>Sporting a black and white dress, Bollywood actress Genelia D’Souza was at her cheerful best when she was in the City recently to launch a smart phone. Metrolife caught up with this young star and asked her to share her experiences in the City and what has been happening in her life.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Ask the actress how technologically aware she is, and she says, “I’m not terrible or fabulous at technology. I love the fact that all sorts of information is available on the internet and the phone. I wish I was a technology-savvy person but I’m happy just being a phone junkie.”<br /><br />As a college student, this actress was keenly interested in sports. She follows sports closely even now. “Ritesh has just bought a team — the ‘Veer Marathi’ team — and I have a very instrumental role to play in it. Having a team is a very different ball game. There is lot of work involved.”<br /><br />After her role in Jaane Tu Na Jaane Na, Genelia has been often referred to as the ‘bubbly girl’. She comments, “I am extremely bubbly and that is something I truly am. I also have a very serious side to me but not many people are aware of that.” <br />Apart from being an actress, she has also been a model and a TV anchor. Point this out to her and she says, “My experiences in each field have been varied. I have enjoyed all of them.”<br /><br />Her name is also not something that one hears often. Genelia explains that it is a combination of her parents’ names. “My name is unique. My mother says that it means ‘rare’.” Genelia has proven herself in both Bollywood and South Indian movies.<br /><br /> Ask her how it was working in them, and she says, “I love to do films, whichever language they are in. The language apart, I see Bollywood and South Indian industries as very professional fields.<br /><br /> I can’t specify any particular one as my favourite since I’ve been a part of all of them. I have enjoyed each of them.”<br /><br />About the city, she has lots to say. “I come to Bangalore quite often. In fact, I’ve been here a lot this year for cricket matches and other appearances. Many major events happen here. Also, Bangalore is a very inviting place and the hub of tech-savvy people.”<br /><br />Comparing Mumbai to Bangalore, she says that it’s a different deal altogether. “I live in Mumbai, so it’s a different zone for me. I love Bangalore more so because I’m also a Mangalorean. I have family here,” answers Genelia.<br /></p>
