After doing "Vicky Donor" and "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani", Dolly Ahluwalia is keen to play real characters on the screen as she cannot be artificial.

"As an actor I can't draw lines. I take up every project as a challenge, but the character has to be real. I enjoy doing real characters. I cannot be artificial. When I speak of being real, the script has to touch me deep inside," Ahluwalia told IANS.

After her role, she gives importance to the director and co-actors.

"Once the script is there, then the director matters and co-actors too...if I am giving the best, then the other person should be able to receive it well. It is a give and take relationship," she explained.

Her next is "Bajatey Raho". The film is directed by Shashant A. Shah and it also stars Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Tusshar, Vishakha Singh and Ravi Kishan and is coming out July 26.

Talking about her latest film, Dolly said: "It is a revenge comedy. It is different as it shows that we don't have to become bad to take revenge....I have to see what kind of message my role sends out," she said.

Do you have any other project in hand?

"I am going through scripts... Some are under negotiation," she said.
