Spectre star Monica Bellucci met Shah Rukh once in Morocco and became a fan. The Bond woman is ready for a turn in Bollywood though she can’t sing or dance.
Italian actor Monica Bellucci, who is all set to play the Bond girl in Spectre, is impressed with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan whom she met in Morocco. When asked whether she would like to work in Bollywood, the 51-year-old star said, “Ah, Bollywood, I can’t say anything. I can’t sing. I can’t dance. But, I met Shah Rukh Khan once in Morocco and he is a really kind hearted man. I am glad that I met him and I have an immense respect for him.”
Bellucci feels Bollywood films are entertaining and Indian cinema is doing well. “Bollywood has many talented and good directors and in today’s time and Indian cinema is doing really good. There’s something different happening out there,” she said at the world premiere of the movie in London recently.
