Bollywood is in Flashback mode after the swinging 70's its time to relive the magic of the 50's in Indian cinema in Sudhir Mishra's Khoya Khoya Chand.

For beautiful actress Soha Ali Khan playing the lead in this film was special.

"You can say it's my introduction. I have always been part of an ensemble cast but its me alone," said Soha.

Carrying a film may weigh heavily on Soha but playing Nikhat in Khoya Khoya Chand was tougher.

"My mother felt I was too immature to play a character like Nikhat. I have no experiences to the kind my mother and heroines in those days had. Though I am a Muslim actress in 2007 and play a Muslim actress in 1953 but I think these women were so progressive and today roles like these are not written any more the way they were for these ladies," said Soha.

Khoya Khoya Chand is a turbulent love story between a writer director and a star.

Soha said she did find inspiration in Bollywood's own love stories.

"I could be anyone of them I am something like a Waheeda and in the end you see shades of Meena Kumari," said Soha.

Khoya Khoya Chand releases on December 7.
