ole if it wasn’t for him; he did destroy <br />
my confidence and break my heart <br />
but if he didn’t do such a horrible <br />
thing and make me bottle up my <br />
emotions then I wouldn’t have <br />
had the slightest chance of <br />
beating anyone else who <br />
auditioned. If I auditioned <br />
without the emotions I would <br />
most likely not have got the <br />
part. I guess my mother is <br />
also a person I should <br />
thank; my mother <br />
helped me gain my <br />
confidence back and <br />
got me back out <br />
there in the real <br />
world”. <br />
Fame & fortune<br />
We’re all crazy for <br />
Simranjit, we absolutely <br />
adore her, but we don’t <br />
exactly know how it all <br />
feels from her <br />
perspective, which is <br />
exactly why we <br />
needed to ask how it <br />
all feels becoming so <br />
famous and loved by <br />
millions of ‘<strong>Vengeance</strong>’ <br />
fans. <br />
“It’s just <br />
indescribable”<br />
“Oh my, I can definitely <br />
say I’m not wealthy as of <br />
yet but the fame has <br />
certainly been insane; <br />
I guess it really hit me <br />
that I’ve become famous <br />
when I was out shopping <br />
with a few friends and <br />
we noticed a group of <br />
girls looking at us and <br />
just talking amongst <br />
themselves, they even <br />
followed us into a <br />
couple of shops until <br />
one of them had the <br />
courage to approach <br />
me and she kindly <br />
asked if I was from <br />
the ‘<strong>Vengeance</strong>’ <br />
programme and if <br />
they could get a <br />
photograph with me <br />
as well as an <br />
autograph. That was <br />
the moment I realised <br />
that I’ve become <br />
famous. <br />
Ever since that one <br />
moment, I started <br />
getting more and more <br />
people approaching me <br />
and recognising me, it <br />
was becoming crazy. I <br />
even started getting <br />
tons and tons of fan <br />
mail, which my whole <br />
family try and help me <br />
sort out. <br />
In my fan mail I get the <br />
most wonderful gifts <br />
from sweet little <br />
postcards and letters <br />
from fans to gifts such <br />
as poems, drawings, <br />
paintings and even <br />
photographs of me with <br />
the fans with captions <br />
on the photo asking if I <br />
remember them and <br />
how much they love the <br />
show and me. It’s just <br />
incredible and so <br />
indescribable. I love my <br />
fans because without <br />
them I wouldn’t be so <br />
famous.” <br />
After <strong>Vengeance</strong><br />
We hope to see much <br />
more of Simranjit in <br />
more ‘<strong>Vengeance</strong>’ <br />
madness but sadly, as <br />
we all know, <strong>Vengeance</strong> <br />
won’t be around forever <br />
which is why we were <br />
so curious to know if <br />
Simranjit has any plans <br />
for the future after <br />
<strong>Vengeance</strong>. Hopefully <br />
we’ll see more of her <br />
amazing acting in years <br />
to come. <br />
“Modeling has <br />
always interested <br />
me ”<br />
“Well it’s still early on in <br />
the whole ‘<strong>Vengeance</strong>’ <br />
programme so I haven’t <br />
given it any proper <br />
thought because it’s so <br />
far away but I must <br />
admit, I have always <br />
been interested in <br />
modeling. I enjoy what I <br />
do and I will most likely <br />
go into auditioning for <br />
films or even other <br />
programmes. I might <br />
even consider live <br />
performances on stage <br />
to build up my <br />
confidence and acting <br />
skills but I would like to <br />
at some point step away <br />
from it all and just have <br />
some fun at photo <br />
shoots and possibly <br />
even go to some fashion <br />
shows. It’ll be relaxing <br />
and a new experience. <br />
I did enjoy the photo <br />
shoots I had for the <br />
‘<strong>Vengeance</strong>’ programme <br />
as well as the photo <br />
shoots I’ve done for this <br />
magazine. I got to try on <br />
thousands of new high <br />
quality clothes and try <br />
out different styles and <br />
different accessories <br />
with the clothes. It <br />
reminds me of my <br />
carefree childhood <br />
when I used to go to my <br />
mother’s dressing table <br />
and wardrobe. I’d pull <br />
out all her make up, <br />
shoes, dresses and wear <br />
them all day as well as <br />
make a complete mess <br />
of all her clothes and <br />
draw on all the walls <br />
and on all over my face <br />
with her lipstick.” <br />
Any acting tips?<br />
Here are a few wise <br />
words from Simranjit to <br />
any aspiring actors and <br />
actresses: <br />
“Stay confident, don’t <br />
lose focus, and dedicate <br />
a lot of time to practice. <br />
A lot of blood, sweat <br />
and tears need to go <br />
into every bit of <br />
practice. Also don’t be <br />
afraid to let your <br />
emotions flow out <br />
because sometimes the <br />
emotions you hold in <br />
can really help make <br />
your acting look more <br />
realistic. <br />

Simranjit<br />
Bhamra<br />
Newly discovered teen sensation and star of “<strong>Vengeance</strong>”, Simranjit<br />
Bhamra, tells us about her very own vengeance moment and how it<br />
helped her land a role in the much adored hit TV programme,<br />
“<strong>Vengeance</strong>”.<br />

irls want to be her <br />
and boys drool <br />
over her. Simranjit <br />
Bhamra, star of <br />
“<strong>Vengeance</strong>” turned <br />
from ordinary <br />
schoolgirl to much <br />
loved and chic teen <br />
sensation in a matter <br />
of hours. However, <br />
not many know about <br />
Simranjit’s little <br />
secret that helped <br />
land her the lead <br />
role!.<br />
“My little secret”<br />
Simranjit may look <br />
innocent but in our <br />
exclusive interview <br />
she told us how she <br />
was close to getting <br />
her own back on a <br />
previous lover who <br />
once meant the world <br />
to her.<br />
“I loved him. He <br />
destroyed me.”<br />
Simranjit started off <br />
explaining how she <br />
fell for a guy who she <br />
once thought was <br />
perfect. “He was <br />
weird, wonderful and <br />
down to Earth, I <br />
would have never, in <br />
a million years <br />
picture it ending like <br />
how it did. Simranjit <br />
then informed us of <br />
how her ex boyfriend <br />
treated her terribly. <br />
“He was perfect but <br />
then he changed, he <br />
used me and <br />
controlled me, I <br />
wanted him to suffer <br />
and beg for <br />
forgiveness.” <br />
“He changed,<br />
I wanted revenge”<br />
“I wanted him to feel <br />
my pain, I was close <br />
to getting my wish, <br />
but I just couldn’t, I <br />
couldn’t do the deed. <br />
Yes, I wanted him <br />
gone from my life but <br />
not like this. I’m not a <br />
killer, never will be, I <br />
just bottled up all my <br />
pain and emotion. I <br />
would let karma do <br />
its job, I told him to <br />
just go and leave my <br />
life and to leave me <br />
alone forever before I <br />
do something I’ll <br />
regret.” <br />
Audition day<br />
Simranjit narrated to <br />
us how she felt on the <br />
day of her audition, “I <br />
remember walking in <br />
to a small empty room <br />
with the directors and <br />
scriptwriters. I was <br />
given a line to read <br />
and in that moment, I <br />
let out every emotion <br />
and feeling I had <br />
bottled up from my ex, <br />
all my feelings flooded <br />
out in the audition <br />
and they just sat there <br />
with jaws wide open. I <br />
was able to relate <br />
heavily to the <br />
script, it was like <br />
reading my life story <br />
on paper. It was just <br />
the perfect script, to <br />
be honest I don’t even <br />
remember having any <br />
sort of fear or any <br />
nerves.” <br />
“I’m still shocked <br />
they picked me” <br />
“I honestly am still in <br />
shock, I can’t believe <br />
that they picked me <br />
out of everyone, they <br />
had the chance to <br />
pick some <br />
extraordinary <br />
talent, people <br />
with real <br />
experience in <br />
show business <br />
but instead <br />
they picked <br />
me. Why’d <br />
they pick <br />
me? I <br />
don’t know, they told <br />
me that it was simply <br />
because I was <br />
genuine, I didn’t <br />
need to act, it <br />
was pure talent, <br />
pure teenage <br />
attitude and <br />
characteristics. <br />
I may hate my <br />
ex, but to be <br />
I would not <br />
have got the
