Genelia D'Souza who has teamed up with John Abraham for her forthcoming release Hook Ya Crook always has a sparkle in her eyes when she talks about the Bollywood hunk. And a little bit of prodding is all that it takes for her to reveal that she has liked John for a long time.

"John is so hot. I would love to see him taking his shirt off again. I used to like him since the time he came for our fete long ago," Genelia told After Hrs.

However, John's not the only good-looking man in her life right now (on screen we mean). This svelte damsel will be seen sharing the screen with Fardeen Khan and Harman Baweja in It's My Life and Life Partner, respectively.

"I just love the way Fardeen talks. He makes me cackle through the day. Harman is a disciplined actor who likes getting into the skin of the actor. I'm having a blast in Bollywood," she says.

Genelia says the success of Jaane Tu … Ya Jaane Na has translated into her being approached for many girl-next-door roles. However, she doesn't have a problem with that. "I'm an actor who should perform whenever I get the opportunity. So if I'm getting roles that see me as a college going girl who is independent and youthful, I don't mind that," she says.

But aren't such roles cutting her out from trying other genres? "I love cinema though initially it was never in my scheme of things. But now that I'm in it, I would love to do all kinds of cinema from an out-and-out commercial film to something which is different and serious. I would love to do action stunts too. I like the challenge of essaying characters I can't even relate to. I get to know more about my traits through them," she ends.
