Gauhar wants people to notice her talent

She made her big screen debut almost six years ago but Gauhar Khan says filmmakers still have not tapped her full potential as an actress. Gauhar appeared in the 2009 Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Rocket Singh: Salesman of the year’ and went on to act in ‘Ishaqzaade’.

The actress, however, will be now seen in her first leading role in the upcoming thriller ‘Fever’. "Yes, directors haven't tapped my full potential yet. I am glad that now with 'Fever' releasing, people will sit back and take notice of the actress in me. I want them to know that 'yes she can perform,'" Gauhar said.

Written and directed by Rajeev Jhaveri, the suspense- thriller also stars Rajeev Khandelwal along with British actress Gemma Atkinson and Former Bond Girl Caterina Murino. Gauhar says she was approached for the film before she won the reality show "Bigg Boss" season seven.

"I was approached for this before Big Boss. The character was something every actor would love to perform. I immediately said yes for the role. I am excited for my first lead role,” she said.
