“And by stars I don’t mean Aditya and Shraddha,” he joked. “I mean the stars above,” he said.

“People say the kind of sublime ideal love I’ve shown in ‘Aashiqui 2′ doesn’t exist. I say, ‘Come home. I’ve the perfect love at home. Udita cares for me unconditionally’. So I am allowing her to take full credit for the success of ‘Aashiqui 2′,” added the director.

Suri recalls 2012 as the darkest phase of his life.

“People said I couldn’t make a film with new actors and expect an audience to come in. But I was pretty sure I wanted Aditya and Shraddha to play my protagonists. My writer Shagufta Rafique and I saw them as the protagonists. See, Aditya and Shraddha may had unsuccessful films before, but that never took away from their talent. Sure. sometimes films don’t work out. Even I’ve had failures.”

Interestingly, Suri had offered Shraddha another film. “And she had rejected it long back! I remember when I met her for the first time, she came out with oil in her hair and wearing specs. She was talking to her mother in Marathi. But when I met her the next time, she had changed into a typical heroine with groomed hair and full makeup. I told her I had come to her for the way she looked earlier. Poor thing, she was confused.”

As for Aditya, it was a failed talent hunt that landed him the role.

Suri said: “We had this wise idea of launching a nationwide talent for new faces in ‘Aashiqui 2′. That idea fell flat on its face. The youngsters who came forward were not good enough and some who were promising agreed to download their videos for a screen-test only if we promised them a role. So we gave up.

“Then I saw Aditya’s pictures. When I met him, I was convinced he was my Rahul Jaikar. Unlike the other aspirants, he didn’t meet me dressed like a star reeking of expensive perfume. Some of them even had their eyebrows done! Aditya came in his shorts. He just told me honestly, ‘My brother (producer Siddharth Roy Kapoor) says you’re a good director.’

“Aditya was not aware of the impact of the original ‘Aashiqui’. So, he responded to my script and his characters without any baggage. That tilted the scale in his favour. Also, Aditya used to be a lead singer in a band, he knows how to play the guitar, so playing a musician came naturally to him.”

Reacting to critics saying Aditya doesn’t have the body language of a musician Suri shrugs, “That’s exactly what I didn’t want, the know-it-all body language.”

Also Suri, director of films like “Kalyug”, “Murder 2″, needed contrasting personalities.

“Shraddha and Aditya are two completely different individuals. That’s what we needed. And they were not stressed by having to repeat the ‘Aashiqui’ success.”

Tanushree Dutta:

She debuted with the film Aashiq Banaya Apne with also starred Emraan Hashmi. This bold Bollywood babe set temperatures soring high with her fearless and super hot lovemaking scenes with the serial killer. Despite showing a tad too much skin on screen, Tanushree failed to make a mark in the film industry. Leave alone failing, the actress has slowly disappeared too.

Udita Goswami:

Another bold beauty who slowly faded from the film industry is Udita Goswami. This actress was seen in Zeher, Paap and Aksar, giving the word ‘bold’ a new avatar. Despite trying too hard, Ms Udita failed to prove as a successful star.

Mallika Sherawat:

She is one of the boldest babes Bollywood has discovered. Mallika redefined boldness with her scorching hot avatar in Murder. She is known for her bold onscreen attitude and is often referred in the media as a sex symbol. Yet Mallika failed to make a mark in the industry because of lack of acting skills and talent.

Koena Mitra:

This actress shot to seconds of fame because of her lengthy lovemaking scene in ‘Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena’, which happens to be one of the boldest scenes in the history of Bollywood. Unfortunately, Koena too disappeared from Indian cinema because of her nil acting skills.

Riya Sen:

She has a pretty face, she has donned a bikini, kissed on screen several times and did lovemaking scenes a couple of times, yet nothing worked for Riya and like the above actresses, Ms Sen too failed to make it to the successful stars list.

Sayali Bhagat:

Well, who is she??? Sayali couldn’t stick around much in Bollywood despite the skin show. Her bed scenes in ‘The Train’ opposite Emraan Hashmi didn’t really work magic for her or for the film and her sinking career couldn’t be rescued.

Sonal Chauhan:

Her recent release 3G saw her sharing a couple of kisses and exposing to a great extent. Yet she and the film was a major disaster. Even her debut film ‘Jannat’ opposite Emraan Hashmi didn’t do much to improve her career graph, but worked magical for the serial kisser.
