I want to do a romantic film with SRK: Neha Dhupia

The 29-year-old actress,who is not happy at being labelled as ‘sexy’,plays a seductress in her latest outing ‘Raat Gayi Baat Gayi’,a film about three married couples and a one night stand. Neha portrays the character of an aspiring actress Sophia,a femme fatale.

Directed by Saurabh Shukla,the film also stars Rajat Kapoor,Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey.

“I am still living upto my image and reputation of being sexy and mysterious and handling a bold subject in the film.

But at the same time I am part of a script which is very interesting. I am doing things differently and I hope that the audience sees a fresher,newer and better Neha Dhupia,” she said.

But the actress believes that her sexy image backfires as people don’t pay attention to her performance.

“I am just tired of my image. Just because I am wearing a black backless dress does not mean I am not giving a good performance. People are so judgemental that they think just because she looks good she can’t perform well and that’s not fair.

“Does that mean till the time I don’t wear loose anti-fit fully covered clothes people are not going to take me seriously?” Dhupia said.

The film also marks Dhupia’s fourth outing with actor Rajat Kapoor whom she had earlier acted with in films like ‘Mithya’ and ‘Dasvadaniya’.

“It’s so wonderful to work with Rajat. He is a great actor and everytime I learn something new from him and with Saurabh on the sets humour comes naturally. The film is a mix of dark thrill and entertainment and not many people know but ‘Raat Gayi Baat Gayi’ bagged the Best screenplay award in popular category at the New York Film Festival,” Dhupia said.

The former beauty queen was asked to throw a bag full of condoms and contraceptive pills during the Mood Indigo festival at IIT Mumbai as part of a marketing strategy but she was uncomfortable initially.

“I was asked to throw around a goody bag which contained condoms and I was like,’No! I’m not throwing it’,but my producer told me that ‘You have to do it because it’s got everything to do with the film’,” Dhupia said.
