Claudia Ciesla new goddess in India

Model Claudia Ciesla from Germany remained for ten weeks in the Big Boss house, the Indian version of Big Brother. A very popular TV show in 2009.  Claudia won the sympathy of many Indians not only because she learned to speak hindi and how to make a roti….

Claudia Ciesla is one of the internet icons. With fan groups and friend pages that have ten thousands of subscribers.  She’s now also a known person in India since she acted in the movie Karma. Claudia even moved to Mumbai to continue her movie career over there. Zona Bonita Magazine interviewed Claudia just after she finished filming Karma.

How was India?
Everything was new for me – I had never visited India before – people are very friendly and tolerant. The traffic is great – no rules – drivers are going like crazy – to go with a taxi through Bombay gives you more Adrenaline rushes than Bungy Jumping …..

The Hindu temples are very interesting – all very colorful – and they have so many gods and goddesses – I have heard about 2000 ….- some Indian guys from the film crew told me ..now that I have been in India, they have 2001 ..

How would you describe your first movie experience?
It was so great…..loved the shooting – learned such a lot, and met so many wonderful and nice people in the Bollywood film industry. I liked the story it is about reincarnation… I am playing the role of LINDA coming, about 30 years ago, during Hippie-Time, to India, falling in love with a rich Indian guy – but all ends unhappy – with many complications, being murdered after all – later reincarnated as Anna, she visits the same place after 30 years ….

Would you ever have thought when you grew up in Poland you would be famous one day?

Not really – lots of people and friends from school told me I should start like a model – and I was discovered by a headhunter of a big Model-Agency when I was 15. I said OK – lets try and make a little money with that – I did it also for fun – because I meant lots of traveling and knowing so many new interesting people – but I never thought to be famous one day – and I actually think to be really famous -is still a long way to go.

Why do you think you are so popular?
I don`t really know – but many people tell and write me that it might be the combination of looking on one hand “kind of innocent” – and on the other hand looking very sexy ….either if I wear a bikini – or a winter coat ….lol – Well, I try to be nice to everybody – always being natural – and never being snobbish.

If you may say something to the world, what would that be!
Be always nice and tolerant and think positive – learn from the past, live in the presence, make it better in the future – we have to live together in this world – and life is wonderful !!!! There shouldn’t be a place for intolerance, or hate because of different nations, races, religions or color of the skin ! – For myself enjoy traveling in different countries – learning about different cultures and religions – love to know lots of new and different people and learn about their opinions – love the different music and dances, love to try the different kitchen, food, wine… hehehe …and beverages – love to see the world – thats real life !!!!!!!!!
