"Marriage is not very important to me"
Tulip Joshi 
Tulip, whose dream debut was in Yash Chopra's Mere yaar ki shaadi and who has wowed the critics in a totally de-glam role as Kalki in Mathrubhumi, is all set for a total image make over in her forthcoming films. She is all set to sizzle and blaze the screen in a glamorous avatar in her forthcoming films Hostel and Shoonya set to release soon.In a sexy black tee and track suit, she was her real and gorgeous self as shaaditimes caught up with her in her cozy nook in Juhu. How did you land up in films? I went for a wedding which happened to be Yash Chopra saab's family wedding. I didn't know him as I was from the girl's side. It was a small affair just around 100 people. Yash uncle saw me and was impressed by me. After 2 months I got a call from them and that's how I got Mere yaar ki shaadi. So movies can also happen in weddings..its not always the shaadi only.(laughs) You have worked in off-beat and commercial films. Which is your forte? I want to be a versatile actor. I am comfortable in both glamourous and realistic roles. I am looking forward to playing different characters. In fact, I would like to do a period film. I feel I have a very different face as my mom is German and father is an Indian. Hence I have the ability to look different in every photograph and suit any character. It's an advantage. If Tulip was not an actor, what would she have been? I would have liked to be a sports person. We all change and grow in life. In my school days I was deeply involved in sports, then I had taken up modelling. Now my priority is films. I don't know what's coming up next. I want to explore different avenues. Is marriage on the cards? I am into a serious relationship but marriage is not very important to me. I have a very liberal mindset which may not match with everyone. I believe that if you are looking for a companion in life you should be comfortable with the person to hang out with. If you term that as marriage then okay it is very important. A lot of people talk about marriage and they prepare for the wedding day but they are actually not prepared for the 'marriage'. Then some people think that marriage gives you the official certificate to stay together. There is lot of confusion. If I were to make rules I would say that after 35, when you are mature enough, you are ready for marriage. It is then that you realise what is it you want from life. Marriage is just a tag we attach to legalise our relationship. What are your views on live-in relationships? Live-ins are more realistic. You understand each other, know about each other's lifestyle and habits and decide to stay together because you love each other. There is no official binding but still you are committed. That's the test of true love. When you start living with a person you become a part of a family. If you are happy together you don't need to have the wedding day or party. What are the qualities you looked for in your partner? I feel one never 'looks' for a partner or any particular qualities in him. One just feels it. I have never waited or sat with pen and paper and written down the criteria for choosing a partner. However for a successful relationship I think it is essential to be honest and transparent. Compatibility is very important and each one should empathise with each other. Humour is definitely important. I would die of boredom without humour. Most cherished day? I'm very happy in general. There have been many happy occasions and life has always been a mix of all.
