We can say that actress Lara Dutta is thinking seriously about comedy as she gets third comedy film in row. Previously Lara done comedy films like Partnerand Bhagam Bhag, and so the actress is proud to be comedy actor. Lara will soon create laughs with her forthcoming films like Houseful and Do Knot Disturb.

Talking about Houseful, Lara said, “Houseful will be my third comic role in a row. And I’m not worried. It’s a large cast (Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan). But I have the best part among the girls.”

She feels comedy is tougher that serious roles. “I think doing comedy is far tougher than serious roles. I don’t have to break my bangles and rub the sindoor off my hair to prove a good performance. Though I still have to get that one performance-oriented role which would take me to another level. Every morning I wake up and say, I know it’s out there somewhere,” she said.

David Dhavan is directing Do Knot Disturb, in which Lara playing a role opposite Govinda. Lara and Govinda worked together previously in Bhagam Bhag. “David and Govinda share an outstanding comic chemistry. If I’ve been able to match steps with them then that’s quite something for me. Govinda and I share a lot more scenes together here than in Bhagam Bhag,” added the actress.

The interesting thing about Do Knot Disturb is that for the first time Lara and Sushmita Sen, the two former Miss Universes came together, to which Lara see as USP.

There were reports that the actress is taking break after her recent box office flop Billu Barber. However she has something else to say “I had a number of releases, but then the strike happened and few of them got held up. Ravi Chopra’s Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai ran into litigation and David Dhawan’s Do Knot Disturb also got held up. There’s a stay order on Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai till June. I can’t comment on the matter since it’s subjudice. Ravi Chopra is a man who knows what he’s doing,” said Lara.

Rumours going round the floor that actrees Lara Dutta, who recently broke up with Dino Morea is seeing married tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi. Lara and Dino were seeing each other for a year, but they called it off three months ago. Nobody knows the reason of their split, but Dino was aware that there is someone else in Lara’s life and so accepted that his relationship with Lara is over. However Lara didn’t wasted time and found new love in Bhupathi. Although Bhupathi is a married man, his relationship with wife Shwetha Jaishankar is supposed to be on the rocks.

A source revealed, “Lara and Dino, who were dating for a year, called off their relationship almost three months ago. That’s when Lara met Mahesh through a common friend and the two instantly liked each other and started dating. Mahesh’s marriage to Shwetha Jaishankar has been on the rocks for quite sometime now. The tennis star and Lara have been going strong ever since they met. Lara and Mahesh are making sure not to make any public appearances together as their relationship is hush hush right now.”

However when asked to both of them, they denied it. “I am a married man and I am not dating anyone,” said Bhupathi. However, Lara replied to text message as, “Have you guys lost it?”

Before Dino, Lara was dating for longtime to Kelly Dorji. However, Kelly recently claimed that his former best friend Dino had backstabbed him by lying about his affair with Lara.

Lara Dutta may be going on and on about her underwater stunts in Blue - well, there's little else she'll talk about, she's always so mum when it comes to anything else — but the lass is now also giving due credit to co-actor Akshay Kumar for those deep sea acts. 
 
Apparently, it was Akki who suggested her name for the movie! “Akshay was the one who recommended my name for Blue,” she confesses. Lara told us that she wasn’t too comfy diving 70 feet under water with sharks all around, but it was Akshay who pushed her to do it. “I got a call from Akshay. 

He suggested that I take some swimming lessons before the starting of the film, and that if I wasn’t comfortable then I could well back out of the movie altogether. But then Akshay has a favourite dialogue that works wonders for me. He says, ‘Tum nahin toh aur kaun?’ That really gets me!” laughs Lara.
