Salaam Namaste is very contemporary. It's about a generation that says, 'This is my life and I want to live it the way I want to.'

I play Amber, a radio jockey. She is very independent, strong-minded, mad, fun. Saif plays Nick, a chef. They live in Melbourne.

The movie is about a live-in relationship -- the pros and cons -- and the way you handle it.

Yes, India is absolutely ready for a film on live-in relationships. I know many in live-in relationships. Look at the soap operas on television. They've gone beyond live-in relationships!

This is my fourth film with Saif. We share a very comfortable relationship. He is a dear friend. We hang out, fight once in a while -- there are times when I want to strangle him!
