Sagarika Ghatge goes wild just in Arjun Rampal’s shirt

Chak De India’ girl Sagarika Ghatge says she shared a fantastic equation with co-star Arjun Rampal while shooting for ‘Fox’ and everyone on the sets made her feel so comfortable that she even agreed to do a romantic scene with just Rampal’s shirt on.

“There was a scene for a romantic song where I was required to wear a night suit. But we couldn’t find anything on the sets that could make it look romantic so Arjun gave me his shirt - it was long enough!” said Sagarika.

Deepak Tijori-directed ‘Fox’ will see Sagarika playing the role of an upcoming lawyer as well as Arjun’s love interest. Sagarika was very keen on the role as she found her character as a woman of today - independent and self-reliant.


It is after a long gap of two-year after Sagarika portrayal of Preeti Sabharwal in ‘Chak De! India’ but she is confident and the actress is ready to face it head on.

“I take the whole thing very positively. ‘Chak De! India’ was a huge success and people appreciated my role with their heart. It’s okay if they remember me for having played Preeti Sabharwal, but at least it’s stayed on. The only way to come out of it is to do a film of the level of ‘Chak De! India’, ” she said.

Her future films include ‘Raftaar 24 X 7’ as well as an untitled project with JP Dutta.
