New Delhi, Oct 27 : After sashaying down the ramp in beach wear for designer duo Hemant-Nandita at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW), Bollywood actress Minissha Lamba yearns for a beach vacation.

"I'm dying to go on a vacation - some place where I can dive into the blue ocean water and sunbathe. I have had a lot of commitments lately so it was hard to take out time for a holiday," Minissha told IANS.    

For Sammir Dattani and Minissha Lamba, there are reasons to celebrate. Their film WELL DONE ABBA, which is directed by Shyam Benegal, has been the chosen one for the 33rd Montreal World Film Festival. The film would be screened throughout the weekend and has been selected for the ‘World Greats’ section in the Film Festival.

Says Sammir, “It’s an honor to have the film showcased at a festival as prestigious as Montreal World Film Festival.”

Minissha Lamba has just returned from a gruelling one month outdoor schedule of WELL DONE ABBA. Though she is chilling out at the moment and catching up with friends and family, she looks back quite fondly on working with director Shyam Benegal.

"Much before beginning to shoot for the film, I was sure about one thing that I couldn't let Shyam sir down", says Minissha with respect in her voice for the veteran film maker, "Here I was working with a man who has been directing for 35 years now so I had to be nothing but perfect with my performance."

Bollywood's latest chocolate boy Anant Narayan is inundated with film offers. But producers put only one condition - they want Anant to be paired opposite "alleged" girlfriend actress Minissha Lamba

Minissha Lamba (born on January 18, 1985 in New Delhi, India to a Punjabi-speaking Sikh family) is an Indian actress.

When Lamba was growing up, her father was in the hospitality business and this gave Lamba the opportunity to travel around the country and meet many people.

She speaks Hindi, Punjabi, and English fluently.

Lamba's long term ambition was to become a journalist.

While studying for a degree in Delhi, Lamba pursued modelling as a hobby and soon became a well-placed model in the Indian modelling industry.

‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ has hit the cinema halls, and is busy collecting the box office earning as well the reactions of the audiences. The much talked about movie has lived up to its expectations. The enormous star cast is well known, but we think many of us still are not well acquainted with the fresh tulip beauty, Manissha Lamba.

The girl who started with an off-beat role in ‘Yahan’, to doing a second lead role in Bhandrakar’s Corporate, Lamba has come a long way.
