Spontaniuous, but short attention span.

BRAZILIAN KUDIHarleen in Love Aaj Kal is not a Punjabi lass at all, she’s Brazilian babe Giselle Monteiro. DT got talking to the Latina...HARSHADA REGE Times News Network Wondering who Harleen Kaur, the demure Punjabi kudi who has Saif swooning over her in Love Aaj Kal, really is? She’s Brazilian model Giselle Monteiro, 20, who can barely speak Hindi. As to how she landed herself a Bollywood film, Giselle smiles, “I came to Mumbai last year and within 20 days was signed for this film. I was at a photoshoot when someone told me that Imtiaz Ali was looking for a foreigner to play Saif’s girlfriend. It was a small role, but I thought I’d give it a shot, and when I went for the audition, Imtiaz felt I would be perfect as Harleen.” Giselle’s not new to the arclights. She began modelling back home when she was only 17. “My dad told me that if I wanted to carry on studying I’d have to fund myself. Also, I wanted to travel, so I left home and travelled around the world.” From Europe to Hong Kong to Thailand and finally India, Giselle’s now at home in Mumbai. She wasn’t surprised she was asked to play a Punjabi girl. “I’m often asked if I’m an Indian, so coming to India and exploring the market here was always on my mind. Luckily for me, I was playing a shy girl in the film, so I didn’t have too many dialogues,” she laughs. “Right now, all I can say is chai lao and namaste!”And Bollywood’s started taking notice. “I haven’t signed anything yet. I have to start attending language and dance classes. It’s difficult to cope with the jhatkas, but I am getting into the Bollywood groove now,” she says. IMTIAZ SPEAK Says Imtiaz Ali, director of Love Aaj Kal, on why he chose a Brazilian, “I was auditioning girls from all over the country but couldn’t find the right girl to play the 1965 ki gali mein rehne wali ladki,purane zamane ki.” Giselle walked into Imtiaz’s office one day for the part of Saif’s firang girlfriend. “She wasn’t right for Jo, but I realised she was Brazil’s Harleen.”Giselle understood the old-world values of her small town character better than an urban Indian actress would have. “The small-town mentality in every part of the world is similar,” he says. Even when Harleen was seen in the trailers, her identity was a closely guarded secret. When she came to Delhi for the premiere of the film on Thursday last week, Giselle was available for photographs, but forbidden to say a word. At the time, the representative from Saif’s production company who accompanied her refused to tell DT her name, and only said that “she plays Harleen, and she’s very happy. She’ll give interviews later.” She did answer to her name when called by it, which was perhaps a slip at that point! (With inputs from SUBHASH K JHA) Giselle as Harleen LATIN TADKA: Giselle Monteiro.

Ohkey so writing a review about Love Aaj Kal, well this is the first time am writing any review! And I would love to start from Love Aaj Kal, I think it’s most difficult to write about such a wonderful movie, because I think I will definitely miss out something! I and My Best friend had been waiting for this movie from about a month. The day I saw its first trailer I knew I have to see this movie now. Deepika makes me go crazy. Later when my friend told me that he is waiting for it because he really loves Imtiaz Ali's direction. He loved Socha Na tha and Jab We Met. So we knew Love Aaj Kal will be a big hit. Dooriyan was awesome and Aahun Aahun really made me bounce. After Jab we Met not only me but almost everyone was expecting a lot from Imtiaz, and we got that.
I loved each and every scene of it. The movie starts in London with glimpses of Meera (Deepika) and Jai (Saif) how they started a relationship and how they had to compromise. They decide to break up as Meera had to leave for Delhi for her job where Jai also had to leave for Golden Gate, his biggest dream ever! They knew that Long-Distance-Relationships DONT WORK! So they find a solution for it that is Break-Up. They decide to leave each other after a relationship of 2 years and they won’t do it like others, they end up happily with a break up party! While Meera is leaving for Delhi Jai decides to see off her last time and here comes the second role played by Saif - Veer Singh. there on the Airport, Veer Singh (played by Rishi Kapoor) starts with his past telling Jai about having a great heart , telling him about love. Veer(Saif is young rishi kapoor) used to look like to Jai. Jai used to follow a girl on her way to college - Harleen Kaur (Giselle Monteiro).which later when shifted to Calcutta from Delhi same as Meera, who went to Delhi from London. Jai and Meera are still in contact through Phones & Internet. They keep sharing their everyday with each other. When Meera tells Jai that her boss Vikram want to have a dinner with her, where Jai is little possessive about her but still suggests her to go with him. Where the other side Jai also meets Joe during the song Twist! Which finally is the girlfriend of Jai now. He is still missing Meera and then decides to go to Delhi as Joe also wanted to visit India. At Delhi, Jai surprises Meera by where on the other side of screen Veer surprises Harleen at Calcutta. After Jai & Veer spend some fun time around Meera & Harleen, Meera tells Jai that Vikram proposed her about marriage and Harleen tells Veer about her’s. Veer and Jai leave. Meera feels the need of Jai on the second day of the marriage only, she tries to go for him but she finds that Jai is absolutely fine, so she returns, but not to her husband Vikram, she is living separately. Where Jai is totally busy and really satisfied to fulfill his dream of the Golden Gate he realizes that he can’t concentrate and finds out that reason for his distraction is Meera. He goes back to Delhi to meet Meera and where in story of Veer Singh, Veer jumps in the train to Calcutta and conveys Harleen's mother. The movie ends with a cute acceptation of love by Jai to Meera and where at Calcutta Harleen runs away with Veer....Leaving the Audience to groove to Aahun Aahun...and regretting that the movie ended :( (Like Me).
"Now, That’s Like A Movie!!" because, from My Opinion this is the most Balanced movie I’ve ever seen.

•Audience is finding themselves in the movie...everyone is touched and finding solutions (happy solutions) to their lives.
•Music is Fabulous....Sad Sweet Folk Romantic Hip-hop....Each & Every kind of song Ads shine to it.
