Suchitra Pillai helps Salman Khan fall in love

Former VJ-turned-actress Suchitra Pillai, best remembered as Saif Ali Khan's pesky girl friend in "Dil Chahta Hai", now plays Salman Khan's best friend in "Marigold" who helps him in finding true love.

"Marigold" is a romantic film, which stars Hollywood actress Ali Larter (of "Final Destination" and "Legally Blonde" fame) and Salman who plays a choreographer, reports Bollywood Trade.

" 'Marigold' is a Hollywood film where I play Salman's best friend. I befriend Ali (the actress), help her find a job and it is through me that the two fall in love. Basically, I play this happy-go-lucky character in the film," said Suchitra.

Besides films, Suchitra's first song "Yaara" that she recorded for her solo music album is making news.

"I just played this song when we were shooting for 'Marigold'. My director Willard Carroll liked the song and decided to use it in the background. It is a situational song shot in the bar where Nandana Sen and Ali are discussing Salman in the film."

Suchitra has quite a few films in her kitty - "Shiva", "Pyaar Ke Side Effects", "Postcard" and "Karkash".

"I am eagerly awaiting the release of all my films. I play Mohit Ahlawat's sister-in-law in 'Shiva' who is kind of irritating and has grey shades to her character."
