It's show time for Neha!

If there is a film with Neha Dhupia in it, it is taken for granted that it has to have a lot more spice than the rest.

</span><br />People have very conveniently slotted me with this sex symbol tag. <br /><br />If there’s a film with Neha in it, it’s taken for granted that it has to have a lot more spice than the rest. <br /><br />When I heard the script of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Sheesha</span>, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. <br /><br />Fortunately or unfortunately, it is being promoted as a film with a lot of skin show, but that is not all that it offers. It’s a passionate film alright, but it has much, much more. <br /><br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section2"><div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="64.5%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/1012229.cms" alt="/photo/1012229.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Do you feel awkward while shooting hot scenes? </span><br />When you show something on screen, things are seen larger than life. <br /><br />If you have a naked foot showing on the full screen, people are free to imagine much more. <br /><br />They don’t think, ‘okay, the rest of the girl’s body is clothed’. It’s all about letting your imagination run wild. <br /><br />As far as feeling awkward is concerned, I don’t take any excess baggage to the sets, and don’t bring back anything either. I am here to do a job. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section3"><div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="51.1%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/1012230.cms" alt="/photo/1012230.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Many top actresses claim that the success of ‘sexy’ films is just a passing phase. Comment? </span><br />Any kind of genre comes and goes. We have seen the biggest of filmmakers now delivering flops because they haven’t moved with the times. <br /><br />It is quite obvious that skin show is not the only hit formula at the box office. Maybe some months ago it was true, but I beg to differ if I have made statements like ‘sex sells’ – it used to sell, maybe not any more. <br /><br />I have five releases this year and only one may be a skin show while the others are not. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section4"><div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="70.3%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/1012231.cms" alt="/photo/1012231.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Do you think these same actresses are getting insecure? </span><br />You bet! They are being totally insecure. <br /><br />We had one top actress in our country saying she would never kiss onscreen, and another one saying ‘I will never pose backless like Neha Dhupia in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Julie</span>.’ <br /><br />And now we have a film releasing in February where the first one has a kissing scene, while the latter is posing backless for posters of her next film, which releases in March. They’re just being hypocritical. <br /><br />Now they realise that times are catching up and how boring they are. The formula of being a success at the box office is to be honest. And you have to have a good script. <br /><br />Don’t fool the audience, because they are intelligent enough to realise what is good and what is not entertaining. <br /><br /></div> </div><div class="section5"><div align="center" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="center" border="1" width="70.3%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><img src="/photo/1012232.cms" alt="/photo/1012232.cms" border="0" /></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Is it true that you are competing with a foreign actress in Sheesha? </span><br />She’s just a character in the film. There’s no competition at all. <br /><br />She’s a very sweet girl and she couldn’t say even two lines in Hindi. So I was telling her this is what you should do. <br /><br />And there were people teaching her different kinds of abuses and making her say that onscreen as well. It was a lot of fun.</div> </div>
