Amara Karan plays Rita, a train stewardess

Just when I skip my weekly routine of getting the New York Post, they talk Desi. This time around it is Amara Karan, the start of “The Darjeeling Limited”. In an interview with the Post, the ‘British Hottie’, revealed that she has banned her mom from watching the movie. Talking about her mom, she explained why.

She’s Sri Lankan and quite conservative. If she were to see that kissing, she’d be horrified.

Now that is a good girl. If I were you, I would do the same thing. I do not want my parents seeing me kissing, even if it is a part of my job. Amara’s real last name, Karunakaran. And she is Tamil yo. She chose Karan for her acting career and it looks like it’s working. With the film set to release in the UK in a few days, she might soon be the ‘it’ girl.

Her role did not come easy, she had to pick up a few skills before she bagged the role.

She had by then received the script and had signed the confidentially agreement. “I knew then Rita smokes in the film,” she remembers. “Now, I am not a smoker but I have friends who smoke. And I got them to help me practice smoking.”

During her chat with Wes Anderson, Amara casually tossed a cigarette into her mouth and started smoking. “I am sure it must have looked really spontaneous,” she says. Anderson did not waste any time before asking her if she would come aboard.

And it gets better, she is a graduate from Oxford, went into I-Banking before she decided to jump ship.

Although Amara says it would be fine for mom to see her next movie, where she plays a rebellious schoolgirl, her mom is still hoping that Amara goes back to I-Banking.

Mom was absolutely devastated, That won’t happen, she assured us.

So have you guys seen to movie? And what do you think of Amara’s choice of banning her mom?
