Action Girl

For the last few years,Neha Dhupia hasn’t exactly set the box office on fire,but the actor says she’s been thinking and working out of the box.

Face your fears for that’s the way you’ll move on,says actor Neha Dhupia

For the last few years,Neha Dhupia hasn’t exactly set the box office on fire,but the actor says she’s been thinking and working out of the box — Ek Chaalis Ki Local,Dasvidaniya and Raat Gayi Baat Gayi? “At least I’m no longer just a sex symbol!” says Dhupia,adding that the new wave of experimental cinema has given her career a boost. The actor was in Chandigarh to cheer participants in the finale of Eagles Dare Hunt at the DT Mall.

While she’s also the face of AXN Action Awards,this adrenaline junkie and fitness freak would not mind hosting Khatron Ke Khiladi. Dhupia’s idea of adventure is to face her fears to overcome them. “From time to time,one needs to challenge one’s limits,strengths and weaknesses. This is the only way one can move on,” she says. As an actor,adds Dhupia,she is required to perform plenty of stunts,like running under bridges and climbing cliffs though,for her,the biggest high is bungee jumping.

She is upbeat about television and admits to having offers to host shows. “But I am holding back for now,” she says. It’s her forthcoming films like Action Replayy that get her the most excited. She is co-starring with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Akshay Kumar in this scifi romcom that’s been directed by Vipul Shah. First-time director Subhash Kapoor,too,has cast her in Phas Gaye Re Obama,a satire on recession and Barack Obama’s policies. “Interestingly,the film’s release will coincide with the American President’s visit to India,” says Dhupia.
