Beauty queen Hasleen Kaur, who is making her debut with 'Karle Pyaar Karle', says it is a misconception that models cannot act.
"Models are as human as any other person who start out fresh and goes to acting school or does theatre. Models just choose to pose or walk on a ramp instead. But that is also role playing. No model is herself on camera... She can't be. She is given the role of making a garment or a brand work and that is hard too," Hasleen told PTI in an interview here.
"Often this misconception holds them back, but given the technical knowledge of acting, they can do wonders," she said.
There are quite a few models, who have made a place in Bollywood for themselves, and Hasleen's favourite is Deepika Padukone.
"Deepika Padukone has proved that she is a thinking actress. I am in complete awe of her beauty, skills, fashion sense and they way she conducts herself," she said.
For Hasleen, Femina Miss India finalist 2011, being in Bollywood and acting in films was the obvious transition after modeling. She loves theatre and performing arts and is a classical dancer.
