Neetu Chandra is on a high these days, as the glamorous actress got good reviews for her performance in Oye Lucky Lucky Oye and has an Neetu Chandra impressive line-up of films in the coming months as well.
The girl from Bihar was in a straight-talking mood when we caught up with her in the capital recently, saying, “I am lucky that I got Oye Lucky Lucky Oye. Abhay Deol is cute and I think he is an amazing actor, but according to me, the real star of the movie was director Dibakar Banerjee.”
We ask her what she thinks of her status as one of the ‘glam-babes’ of Bollywood and she gets annoyed with the tag. So what tag would she prefer? She replies, “Happening. I like being called happening, for hot also comes under happening and all the other compliments like cute, sweet and sexy also come under it.”
So, what according to her, is her best feature? She considers the question for a bit and replies,“I think my eyes are my best feature. Once, Priyadarshan told me that my eyes ‘speak’ but, I think my curves and curls are also the other best things about my body.” And how important does she think those curves are to achieve success in Bollywood? She says, “It is the whole package that is needed today in Bollywood. A good body helps of course, but so does acting, dancing skills and sex appeal.” So does she dislike being called a sex-symbol as well? She says,“I think that sex is too hyped a word. Having said that, I can’t wear a lehenga if I am doing a beach scene. The character should dictate what you wear and how you look. Many people have told me that I was looking sexy in a saree in Traffic Signal.”
So, if she hadn’t decided to be an actress, what she would have been? She replies, “I would have been a waste! Luckily my decision has been working out well for me. I truly believe that nothing is impossible to achieve. If that wasn’t true then I, a girl from Bihar, would not have been sitting here today. I would have married a guy who loves me.” So who is the person who has inspired her the most? “My mom is the reason that I am here, alongwith my hard work and everybody’s blessings also, of course. And I have to tell you, I am not as sweet as I look, I have to be really rude and show a lot of attitude to get noticed, which is very important. I think every woman should be like this.” And does this lady have someone special in her life? She answers, “A person who I find it easy to be with is my kind of guy, and I am still waiting for him.”
And finally, where does she see herself a few years down the line, “Bollywood will be mine,” she declares.link
