But for now,it is her upcoming release,Shyam Benegal’s Well Done Abba that’s keeping her on her toes. “I play a 17-year-old in the film. I am wearing a starched uniform with pigtails. It is a comedy and we had quite a tough time shooting for it in the heat,” she says. Lamba happened to meet the legendary director Benegal when he came to her with the script. “I was so thrilled that Sir wanted to cast me. There was no way I was going to let him down.”

From the time she debuted with Yahaan,the 25-year-old has managed to garner mass adulation. The ardent fans coming up for a chat and shoppers trying to get a glimpse of her reiterates her popularity. As we are talking,a couple of boys interrupt our conversation and ask the petite actress to pose for a photograph with them. She politely obliges,after which they remind the actress of their meeting in Bikaner when she was shooting for Anamika. After a brief yet friendly conversation,she chimes: “I love the people in Mumbai. They are very sweet and don’t make you uncomfortable in public,” says the actor.

Although Lamba believes that comedy is her forte,her glamorous roles in Bachna Ae Haseeno and Kidnap opposite Bollywood heartthrobs Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan haven’t gone unnoticed.
