All you need is a chance to display yourself to the world'-Princess Leslie of Orissa


After she was stalked by a deadly psycho,whose life's only obsession was to marry Leslie the good girl who is 'one-in-a-billion-kind-rare species', Leslie's efforts to redefine herself and her life took on an edge of urgency. She had given up her patronage of most of the charities she once represented. As she fantasized living in anonymity far away from Orissa. Yet she could never hope to become normal. Instead she became a celebrity.
Leslie detested the dubious people around her"she was poking fun at the hypocricy thats prevalent in Orissa's acting world."
she mingled less and less with her own class, preferring instead the company of the self-made aristocracy of entertainment and fashion. The members of this élite were from different countries and cultures — gay, straight, black, white and united by fame.But in New India money and celebrity count.Leslie has fitted into this new world perfectly. She isn't seen as posh. She was one of the people. By example, she reassured them that anyone could be a star. All you needed, she seemed to imply, was the chance to display yourself to the world.
