She plays the girl-next-door in one film and has an action-packed role in another. Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta thoroughly enjoys projecting her two "different" looks.
"The roles I am playing in Saas, Bahu Aur Sensex and Rama - The Saviour are poles apart. I have also tried to look different by paying detailed attention to my appearance in the two movies," Tanushree told IANS.
The actress was here to launch a new store of diamond jewellery brand D'Damas.
Warner Brothers-produced Saas, Bahu aur Sensex is an urban comedy slated for release in September.
"I will not talk much about my role or about the storyline but I must say that my role is completely different from what I have done till now," maintained Tanushree, who made her debut in 2005 with Aashiq Banaya Aapne.
In Rama-The Saviour, Tanushree has done an action sequence and was very excited about it.
"I have put in my honest efforts for this movie. For the action scenes, I learnt martial arts. I also got injured a few times while shooting, but I loved every bit of it. I hope that the people accept me in this movie," she said.
Tanushree, who hails from Bengal, lamented that she was not getting worthwhile offers from her home state.

{{/usCountry}}"I want to do meaningful Bengali cinema but the offers I am getting are not up to the mark. I have enough from Bollywood to keep myself busy," she stated.
Before she was crowned Miss India in 2004, Tanushree had a stint with the small screen as host of the Bengali show Hoi Hullod. Now, she says she is too pre-occupied to devote any time to TV.
"I do get offers but I am too tied up with movies, shows and some commitments. So I refuse them all," she said.
