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 />

Revenge”<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 />
