The pretty and chirpy Shonali Nagrani is the first runner-up of Miss India International 2003 who is currently seen hosting the filmy show `Popkorn` on Zoom Television. This gregarious beauty is basically a Delhite and hails from a Sindhi family. She has carved out a niche for herself by hosting this show as she gets to enjoy a direct communication with her fan following. She has also acted in a music video of Lukcy Ali and was also a news anchor and reporter prior to her entry into the glam world.
This gorgeous actress claims that she does not plan anything in life and likes to take life as it comes. She also claims that the `Popkorn` show has brought her instant fame and recognition. She also seems pretty excited about this show, as it has given her a lot of scope to experiment with her looks and talk non-stop. She worked as a roving reporter in the World Cup and was also seen as a sporty anchor in `The Great Indian Laughter Challenge` along with the show`s consistent anchor Perizaad Kolah. She claims that the latter experience has been great and they literally roll on the floor in splits during the shoots. This powerhouse of talent claims that the job of an anchor is more than just looking good. Things could not have been in a better way for this extremely beautiful babe.
About stepping into the Bollywood film industry she is a bit reluctant as she keeps on getting many offers but none of them is a performance-oriented role. In between she has signed a Mahesh Bhatt film but chose to opt out as some intimate scenes were added to the script in the later stages. She tends to get a bit nostalgic reminiscing her memorable moment when she was called by the British channel to participate in a show where she was selected as a possible wife to Prince William.
In this show she was pitted alongside Beyonce, Keira Knightley and Britney Spears among the others. At present this glam doll is busy anchoring shows and is much contented with the type of work that she is doing. She does not want to get featured on shows and is not interested in becoming the soap queen. She intends to retain her identity and not appear as some melodramatic soap actor. But she aspires to join the Bollywood bandwagon one day as it will fulfill her wander last and her desire of globetrotting. Although she has worked in the film `Zeher` by Mahesh Bhatt she wants to make a mark in the Indian film industry by some performance oriented roles and not just appear in cameos.
On the personal front also Shonali Nagrani is a very happy individual. She has been in a steady relation with her IT consultant boyfriend for the past four years. As far as her philosophy in life is concerned she has learnt that the longer one stays in love the tougher it becomes to describe. She proudly claims that her real life love helps her to stay in touch with the non-glam and real world. Her fans expect to see a lot of this grand performer and popular star in the coming years and wishes her all the very best for her future endeavors.
