I even look sexy in salwar-kameej: Neha Dhupia
Q: Do you think that your last two films “Sheesha’ and ‘Julie’ has had a role in projecting you as a sexy actress?
A: No, I don’t think so. Today even if I wear a salwar-kameej people say that I look sexy. However, like many others, I don’t take this as a compliment.
I have received a compliment that is unique. During the
question-answer session after ‘Mithya’ was screened at the ‘Osian Film Festival’, a female critic came up to me and openly said, ‘Neha, I have watched many of your films, but I feel that after this movie, you have emerged as an excellent actress’.
Q: On what basis do you select your roles?
A: When the story of a film makes me feel bore, I don’t accept
the film. And to a large extent, I depend on my experience while selecting films and roles. After all, I am also a human being who has learnt from her mistakes.
I don’t regret making mistakes as I have learnt a lot from
them. I can assure one thing to the audience and that is from Mithya’ they would be seeing me in good and meaningful
cinema only.
Q: On what basis did you choose your last film ‘Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama’?
A: Actually, when I had read the story of the film, it attracted me. Unfortunately, the final product did not turn out that way. Moreover, I am not responsible nor do I have a hand in a film being good or bad.
There are many times when I have to accept films for friendship sake, but now I have realized that it is often wise to say ‘no’ to some offers.

Why Saawariya is not doing well in Tamil Nadu

Saawariya is not doing well in Tamil Nadu mainly due to its name. Saawariya in Tamil means "are you ready to die" or something close to that. People probably may not want to see this movie with an inauspicious title released on a festival day like Diwali . Om Shanti Om is doing well, I understand. The positive connotation with the name may have played part in its success.
