For Parveen Dabbas, the grass seems to be green on all sides. On the one hand, the actor is counting days to his wedding to actress Preeti Jhangiani, and on the other, he is preparing to act in comic caper, Sirf—Life Looks Greener On The Other side.
Dabbas, who is usually seen playing serious roles, will finally be seen in a rib-tickler. He plays a Mumbai-bred advertising professional who is newly married to a rural girl, played by actress Rituparna Sengupta. She is trying hard to adjust in the city. He is a good guy in the film who loves his wife and his work. The actor says that thought the scenes involve a lot of comedy, they are very real at some level and masses can connect to the film. Apart from Sirf, Dabas has his hands full with N Chandra's Ye Meraa India, Arindam Nandy's Via Darjeeling, Sanjay Gupta's Alibaugh and Shamim Sariff's English movie, The World Unseen, starring Lisa Ray. Aprat from acting, he has also lent his voice for the upcoming Rajiv Maikhuri mythological animation—Secrets of The Seven Sounds, which is due to release in June. Dabbas is not very keen to talk about his marriage. All that he is willing to say is that one of the receptions will take place in Delhi, and that close family and friends would attend.
