SINGLE IN THE CITY

Name: Tina Desai, Age: 28, Job: Actress

Describe yourself in 140 characters.

Simple, honest, ambitious, mature yet childlike, practical, pragmatic, fun, adventurous and self-deprecating.

Which TV character would you be?

Rachel Green. I’m spoiled by Dad, love shopping. I relate to her the most, and have gone on to be simpler with my lifestyle choices.

Which TV character do you want to date?

Barney Stinson. He’s hot, funny, charismatic, fun, and has a personality I find attractive.

On a night out, you’d wear...

A figure hugging dress — it suits me best. I’d keep it classy but sensuous. Heels would be a must. And just one statement jewellery piece.

Football or cricket?

Football. It’s an action packed 90 minutes and the adrenaline rush and entertainment value is high for me. I love Brazil and in clubs, Barca.

Three words that describe Dev Patel.

Fun, energetic, talented.

Three words that describe Judi Dench.

Dignified, talented, naughty.

Three words that describe Richard Gere.

Attractive, calm, charismatic.

What do you sing in the shower?

The crappiest songs Bollywood has ever created.

If you could be someone for a day — who would you be?

The secretary general of the United Nations, which would hopefully give me the quickest idea of the reality of world politics.

What super power would you like?

Unbeatable strength. Or to fly. Or both.

A movie you can watch over and over again...

Father of the Bride. It’s funny, touching and very entertaining.

Tell us a joke.

Why did the elevator like his job? It was uplifting.
