The movie “Leader” was premiered in India on 19th Feb 2010..

Leader is about the wide disparity that exists between an ordinary politician and a ‘Leader’. Even though there are no physical fights in this film (like most Telugu movies), there is a lot of drama involved.

Actress Megan Fox maybe one of Hollywood’s biggest actresses but the star insists that she actually has strong motherly instincts.

The Transformers beauty told a magazine said: “No one believes me when I talk about this, but I’m really maternal. I worry that because I’ve always wanted kids so much, as the world goes sometimes, I won’t be able to have them — even though I would be able to provide them with such an amazing environment.”

To everyone surprise, the 23 year old actress apparently admitted that she doesn’t believe too much in her acting abilities and even hates her picture to be taken! Given the fact that she is one of the biggest bombshells in Hollywood, this is hard to believe!

Do we see Megan having kids anytime soon? Let’s just watch and wait.
