I worked at a petrol pump: Mugdha Godse

I went to the MMCC in Pune, where I studied commerce. I remember, when I entered college, I wanted to do every thing at one go - study, party and have boys friends. I had a handful of friends who were my partners in crime for fun and work. 

My friends and I worked for some extra money so that we could be more indulgent. I did odd jobs like selling oil or doing a survey at petrol pumps. We'd make ` 100 a day. Coming from a middle class family, I had a nominal pocket money - ` 300 a month. The extra money was used to take care of our so called 'lavish fun'. While movies occupied most of our free time, we also enjoyed lunching outside, and sometimes even having beer in the afternoon!

Afternoon discos, and hanging out at Vaishali, a famous place on Pune's FC Road was another passtime. Sometimes we'd get hold of studious kids to gain entry into the british library, where we'd chill for hours.

There is loads of lukhagiri to talk about. Mass-bunking and going for coffee instead. Another pastime was puncturing bikes and car tyres.

However, there was one class I never bunked. I loved attending the Economics lecture. No one bunked her lecture, especially the boys, as she was very beautiful. I was quite in awe of her.

Among all the masti, I also remember I moment of pride. During my standard 11 exams, I was given a class 12 English paper by mistake, which I ended up solving! Being an 'outstanding' student that I was (pun intended), I didn't know my syllabus so didn't guess it wasn't meant for me. I was in a hurry to catch a film, so took to solving it right away. And though I found it to be difficult, I assumed it was because I hadn't studied. After the exam, when my friends and I started discussing the paper, to my horror I realised that I solved the wrong paper for my final exam. I met the principle and thankfully the issue was resolved.

Mugdha Godse speaks in real life with a Marathi accent. She had to completely change her tone accent and diction to sound like the high-flying model in Fashion.

Speaking in her forthright way Mugdha says, "I didn't get it right initially. My voice was sounding nasal and Madhur thought of dubbing it. But I fought back. To me the voice is the mirror of the soul."

Mugdha worked really hard on her voice. "I knew my speaking voice wouldn't work for my character. I was very particular.

I sat with others from the cast who were far more experienced. And then I dubbed. I'd never ever let someone else dub for me. I sat for Priyanka, Kangana and Kitu Gidwani's dubbing. Dubbing taught me how to act through my voice.

Fashion showed me, you can't act with your body. You've to act with your voice and mind. Initially I'd jump around on the sets making my presence felt. Finally it has come out right."

Interestingly Mugdha has gone through some of her character's experiences in the fashion world.

"Some people say Madhur has shown only the dark side of the modellling world. Not true. I think there's a lot of positivity in the way Priyanka bounces back into the limelight.And my character is a very positive one.Of course in any glamour industry there's fierce competition, you end up in the wrong hands."

Mugdha admits she was approached by the wrong people to take short cuts. "But I didn't give in. That's why it took me three years to establish myself as a model. Many others become successful within a year.

I come from a very middleclass family in Pune. For me and my parents Mumbai was a culture shock. I was very naïve at the start. The Gladrags contest did the trick for me."


"When I came into modeling I had no clue about how to walk and talk, how to do my networking and get noticed. My experiences on the way up kept me grounded. Some girls do get swayed when they get so much at such a young age. You get everything so easily."

"I guess only Madhur Bhandarkar knew my true worth. When he offered me the role I didn't even know I could act. I didn't want to take the route taken by all models. I didn't want to make a fool of myself.I surrendered completely to Madhur Sir's direction."

Mugdha is in no hurry to sign new films. "I'm not very sure whether I'm required to be filmy on not. I got film offers earlier. But nothing that shook me like Fashion. Until I feel it's right I won't do it.

I did a jewellery campaign with Madhur Sir. The minute he told me my role I was in. I mean, imagine a model getting a modeling role and such a performing part. I managed those difficult scenes because I didn't know they were difficult."

She's happy she wasn't overshadowed in Fashion by Priyanka or Kangana. "I hope I'm not flattering myself. But I held my own. I was scared to be with these actors. But my meditation helped me to stay calm and focused.

The ramp scenes I could do with my eyes closed. But the acting scenes!.....Many scenes connected deeply with me."

Mugdha plays a woman who marries a gay designer. "In real life I'd never make such a sacrifice. Of course such things do happen. And I think it's fine. Better an honest marriage without sex than spouses having secret extra-marital affairs. As long as a couple is happy together, how does it matter?'

Her friends from the modeling world saw Fashion and reacted positively. Carol Gracias saw her wardrobe malfunction scene and took it in her stride.

"She is a sporting girl. And Madhur Sir has handled that scene so sensitively. My model friends were very quiet during such scenes. We didn't discuss it after the film. It would be like probing old wounds."

Mugdha has drastically reduced her modeling assignments. "In any case actors are doing a lot of modeling and many of them behave like models on screen."
