Don’t Link Me To Top Actors, Says Tamil Film Heroine Simran Bagga

After a noteworthy career as a Tamil Film heroine from 1995 to 2005, Simran Bagga is happily settled in Gurgaon with her husband and children. When she is offered a role she accepts but in her own words “I don’t hanker after roles as co-star to top heroes,” insisting she is content with her achievements in South films having worked with all leading heroes — Vijay, Suriya, Ajit and others. She was referred to as “Slimran” a compliment given by her directors and media for her slim figure and pleasant looks. There were the usual stories that were cooked up to add Masala to her film promotions. But the recent media stories linking her to Vijay especially that she asked Vijay if he would agree to work in her production have lit much anger in her. Vijay is supposed to have turned down her offer, claiming “my movies always roll with controversy…I can’t say from where the problems come.” Simran is aghast that such a claim is making the rounds. “STOP this kind of loose talk, linking me to top actors. I value my self-esteem and self-respect.” From her first Tamil film Nerukku Ner, through many a hit with Ajit and Vijay, Simran has traversed a steady career. And would like to be left out of controversy, not of her making.
