Lauren Gottlieb is working hard on her look for her next dance film ABCD 2, in which she plays an American Indian. The young actress has got herself a deep tan and has ostensibly shed six kilos to get the lithe look.

Lauren is also sporting a new hairdo in this film. We hear, she got her hair done at a popular salon in Los Angeles, which is reportedly frequented by international celebrities including Vanessa Hudgens, Demi Lovato, Ashley Tisdale and Justin Bieber.

About her new avatar, Lauren says, “In my first Bollywood film, my director Remo D'Souza had cast me because of who I was and he didn't want me to look any different. The last thing I wanted was to look like myself in my next film, too.“

Stating that she is happy to have adopted a new look for the movie, she adds, “I feel close to my character because I, myself, feel like an American Indian. I worked hard on losing weight over the last one year and now, my new hairdo completes my look.“
