There's nothing evil in flaunting your sexuality: Sherlyn Chopra

Sexy Siren Sherlyn Chopra is ready to launch her own music album Outrageous- The End Of The Beginning.

A photo shoot was held recently by ace celebrity photographer Rakesh Shreshta, covered by all leading media publications and channels, which kick started the re-launch of the sexy actress. Incidentally even her video will be directed by adman Prahlad Kakkar, which insiders reveal will match her western counterparts in the look, feel, and the 'hot' quotient. Incidentally Sherlyn has also composed and written the lyrics of her album Outrageous- The End Of The Beginning.

Says the sizzling hot actress, "Outrageous is an attitude. It will speak the language of the gen-next youth. It brings to fore the deep hidden desires that every human being harbours inside but refuses to acknowledge. The USP of my album is that it promotes an attitude of being born free. It's okay to break rules and follow your heart's desires."

She also seems pretty excited since adman Prahlad Kakkar will be directing his first music video featuring her. "Prahlad Kakkar is a legend in his field. There couldn't have been a better person to direct the video. Remember it's an attitude, and that has to come to the fore. Thankfully I am having the right people associated with the album."

The firebrand actress is not deterred and has no qualms in flaunting what she's got. "There's nothing evil in flaunting your sexuality if you have it, flaunt it. But also just because I expose, doesn't mean that I'm a loose character. But I speak my mind."

Though the actress admits that her image is misconstrued at times because she herself is a bundle of contradictions. She chuckles, "I am stylish and yet simple at heart, sometimes naive and yet street smart. I am a lamb in a tigress' body."

Simply 'Outrageous', Sherlyn's attitude says it all!

Bipasha Basu very upset by Randeep

Bipasha and John have been shooting non-stop for Vivek Agnihotri's Goal at Nitin Desai's studio in Karjat. And so has Randeep Hooda for Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya.

He almost collided with the couple earlier this week when he drove his car at top speed inside the studio compound.

Grumbles Bipasha, "And then they write that I was admiring the man's driving! Am I mad to admire such rash driving?

To begin with, I don't know Randeep at all. Someone drove rashly, scaring the hell out of me, John and our respective staff. At the time it happened we had no clue where that came from. We came to know later who it was.

At that time I was very angry with the person driving the car, not admiring him, as reported in a daily. I'm not too fond of drivers who use the roads like their personal kingdom. I don't think it's right to drive like crazy, specially in a crowded place where people are shooting a film. I think anyone does so, should apologize. "

Randeep isn't in the mood to oblige.

Shilpa Shetty has filed a court case against the UK-based Jasveer 'Jazz' Barton, who had falsely claimed to be her 'Agent', made commitments and even signed a deal on her behalf, while the actress was participating in the UK reality show Big Brother.

"We have put up a case at the City Civil Court, Mumbai, asking for an injunction against Jazz Barton's untrue claims and demands," informed Shilpa's spokesperson and publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

"Now that Shilpa is world famous, Jazz has been trying to extract money from her. She has been sending her legal notices, seeking a cut from Shilpa's earnings," said Bhagwagar, and added, "Jazz's demands are ridiculous, as Shilpa does not have any contract or agreement with her in the first place. By going to court, Shilpa is just protecting herself from Jazz's illegal claims."

It can be recalled that Jazz Barton (along with Bobby Khan) was instrumental in introducing Shilpa Shetty to Endemol; the casting-agency for Big Brother. When the UK media started addressing Jazz as Shilpa's 'Agent' and Bobby Khan as 'Manager', while Shilpa was still in the 'Big Brother' house, the Shetty's sensed Jazz was upto mischief by misguiding the media.

After slandering Shilpa in the western media, Jazz came down to Mumbai and gave derogatory statements against the actress and her mother Sunanda Shetty to the Indian media. On her visits to India, she was served two legal notices, after which, she hurriedly left the country. "Subsequently, there was an exchange of more legal notices with Jazz making illegal claims and monetary demands. Thus, Shilpa was left with no other alternative but to take legal action against Jazz Barton"

Big Baby Mat Kaho Na: Shilpa

In international circles, Shilpa Shetty has earned the tag of ‘Big Baby’ owing to her mom Sunanda Shetty accompanying her almost everywhere.

There were huge discussions about the 30 something actress living with her parents and actress sister Shamita Shetty and being accompanied by her mother for all business meetings, tours and shoots.

The screen beauty was not too happy about this tag from the western media. She quickly hit back by insisting that this is only about having a close knit family. "It's purely for emotional reasons. After a hard day's work, I need someone I can come home to. I don't travel with mum because I'm a baby," she retorted.

Shilpa’s spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar leaps to her defense. “There are two basic reasons for the same, the first being the fact that Shilpa’s mum is like her best friend.

Secondly if her mum is around, Shilpa can be somewhat laidback as she looks into the nitty-gritty of all things. In a way it must feel like home for her. When she had joined ‘Big Brother’, it was the first time she was traveling alone abroad and was without her mom for so many days at a stretch.

Shilpa enjoys her mom’s company. And her mom too is also a very chirpy bubby and happy go lucky person who talks and even yaps at times. It won’t be an understatement to say that she is even bubblier than Shilpa and puts one at complete ease.”

“Her mum accompanies her sister Shamita too, but then Shamita is much more independent and outgoing. She is much stronger. If she doesn’t like somebody doing something, she quickly disciplines the other person.

While Shilpa can’t do that, she is too simple, sweet and extremely gullible. Sometimes if Sunanda Shetty is busy traveling with Shilpa, their dad travels with Shamita,” adds Bhagwagar.

Shilpa is not alone. In Bollywood most actresses are known for being their mums' darlings. Kareena Kapoor is mostly seen around with her mother Babita, Priyanka Chopra and mum Dr Madhu Chopra are almost always together and there is Ayesha Takia whose constant companion is mommy Farida.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been known for her closeness to her mum Vrinda (more so before she became the Bachchan bahu).

In fact when she had gone to the Oprah Winfrey show some two years ago, she was asked by the surprised host as to how at 30 she was still staying with her folks. Aishwarya went on to explain the stunned Oprah the intricacies of our culture.

Rani Mukerji and Esha Deol’s closeness to their respective mums Krishna and Hema Malini is not hidden either. These girls are known to discuss all their professional decisions with their mothers.

In fact, certain sections of people have actually joked about ‘Bollywood actresses being handled by their mums’ in various forums and blogs.

Mainly because staying with one's parents and traveling with them after a certain age is alien behavior in the West and is against their idea of independence. It’s a part of Indian culture which they can't really comprehend.

Explains Bhagwagar,“In the West, children and siblings move out of home once they reach a certain age. But that doesn’t happen here since we are more attached to our parents. Not that they don’t love their parents, but I think Shilpa and the rest are kind of upholding that very culture.

Some people even here might feel a little uncomfortable about being accompanied by parents for business meetings and shoots. But Shilpa loves her parents so much that she can never take things that way.” -Sneha Hazarika

Hot and Sexy Sridevi

He made me look stupid seductress

They say, behind every successful man is a woman. Likewise, in Bollywood, behind every successful brand, is a publicist.

Upcoming actress Sherlyn Chopra realized this last year, when she hired the services of celebrity publicist Dale Bhagwagar, who also looks after the imaging of the likes of Hrithik Roshan, Shilpa Shetty, Shiney Ahuja, Esha Deol and films of Farhan Akhtar.

Sherlyn, (then called Mona Chopra) was languishing in obscurity after her C-grade films ' Time Pass ', 'Jawani Diwani' and 'Naughty Boy' had bombed. But the self-proclaimed "master manipulator" that Dale is, he managed to turn the tides for the actress.

Within no time Sherlyn was splashed in various newspapers and magazines with a variety of pictures, all of which befitted her well-publicized 'split personality'.

At times, she would look demure. At other times, bold and daring. At times, she would be photographed dressed as Santa Claus and playing with kids. At other times, she would appear on the cover of Man's World, imparting sex gyan.

At times, she would pose for newspapers wearing a tricolour salwar-kurta. At other times, she would be arrested by the Alibaug police for doing a bikini photo shoot without police permission on the beach.

At times, she would attend a music launch event dressed in a burkha, protesting against the unwillingness of the makers of her film 'Game', to change her name from Mona Chopra to Sherlyn Chopra in the title credits of their film. At other times, she would appear nude in fashion photo shoots.

Whatever the reason, Dale ensured Sherlyn Chopra always hogged the limelight. On her part, she never disappointed him and churned out scandalous quotable quotes by the dozen to a jaw-dropping media; a quality the publicist loved.

Within a matter of months, Dale's calculating strategies and media placements turned her into being 'controversy's favourite child'. She received loads of attention in the print, television and internet media throughout the year.

So it has come as a shock to the fourth estate, that Sherlyn has kicked out the very publicist who made her the brand she is. She has claimed that the publicist tried to be "God" in her life and kept telling her what she should do and what she should not.

Sherlyn loves to be in the midst of things and her teaming up with this publicist had proved to be an unbeatable dynamic combination.

So what made her throw him out? "Apart from manipulating the media, Dale constantly told me what I should do and avoid; which paper I should speak to and which paper I shouldn't. I even heeded to an extent, but then he began behaving as if he was all powerful; as if he ruled me. But he's just a PR. Not a God," quips Sherlyn.

But surprisingly, the publicist only has good words for his ex-client. He says, "Sherlyn is not only a fiery person but a powerhouse performer. Her talents have been untapped until now. But just wait for her music album 'Outrageous' to release.

She will stun everyone with her singing prowess and performance. Pralhad Kakkar is directing her debut video and he will work magic for her. "

Isn't the publicist upset with Sherlyn for throwing him out? "I can't help but move on. She fired me as she thought of me as a control freak. But I can't help it as I pride on that quality of mine. I like to guide and tell my clients and the media what I need from them. My profession demands me to be stern at times.

See, I can't be a yes-man to my clients. I prefer to plan, strategize, do imaging and media placements. I like to tell my clients what to do and what not to. I like to guide and groom them for the media. If that's being God, then I am God".

As soon as Sherlyn removed the publicist, she went ahead and bad-mouthed Vinod Pande, the maker of her recent film 'Red Swastik'. Pande had mentored the actress when she was down and out and cast her in his psycho thriller which miserably bombed at the box-office due to an improper release strategy.

Sherlyn asserted. "I will never again work with a filmmaker like Vinod Pandey. I am ashamed that I had to mouth my dialogues like a seductress. Vinod wanted me to overact all the time.

Can't you seduce without nakhras? At 22, when I can understand, why can't Vinod pandey who is a veteran in this industry understand what the difference between real and fake is?"

"I would have never allowed her to do something as foolish as spewing venom against a film director," says Dale. "I know that by now, she hates me advising her, but makers and their films are the ones to catapult an actor to stardom. One should never badmouth them. "

Dale modestly adds, "However hard a publicist would try, it's ultimately the films and their appreciation that speak for any artiste. "

But wasn't he the one who managed to bring Sherlyn into the limelight when the media was wary of featuring her because of her down-market past? "Yes, I did. So what? It was my job and I was handsomely paid for it. Even if I have to do it all over again for any other actress, I would," he says.

"When the media refuses to give mileage to an artiste I take it up as a challenge to splash him or her across the papers and television screens. Such challenges give me a kick," Dale adds.

Sadly for the publicist, while fulfilling one such challenge, it has turned out that he himself got the kick.

"I wanted to be a famous porn star." says Sherlyn Chopra

Her snug fitting top says ‘The name’s Chopra… Sheryln Chopra’. Needless to say, the upcoming actress is a James Bond fan. She even had a car that had a sticker that read Bond 007. However, this time round, Sheryln is merely trying to stop people from getting her name wrong. Her quirkiness is endearing. And after Red Swastika, she hopes her acting will be too. For now, Sheryln’s making waves as a sex bomb. A freewheeling chat with the babe about her upcoming ventures, her Bond fetish and her love affair with Bollywood…

That’s an interesting top…
Yes (Giggles). I even had a sticker on my car that said Bond 007. But this top is to clarify that my name is Sheryln. There has been lots of confusion over my name. I have been introduced with different names. Everyone thinks my name is too western to appeal to the audience.

You seem to be Bollywood next screen sizzler. Does this sex bomb tag bother you?
You can call me anything except a bimbette. That’s because a bimbette looks awesome, has great figure, is hot and sexy but lacks brains. That’s the worst insult you can heap on me. I don’t have any problems being called hot.

How does your family react to your image?
My mom is always complaining about my clothes. She wants to burn all my bikinis but I have always told her I want to keep that image. I told her I worked very hard to look the way I do and I would like people to admire my body. I do a lot of cardio and dieting so that I look great. So what’s wrong with flaunting something I have?

Doesn’t your image cause you problems?
Only with perverts.

And how often do you come across perverts?
Daily. I run into such people daily.

Prahlad Kakkar found you too sexy. Did you shoot for his video finally?
We will be shooting for the video soon. I think we have different sensibilities. He thought I need to tone down a bit. Guess he wanted to play safe.

Did you always want to be an actress?
Yes, I always wanted to be an actress. It was somewhere deep inside always.

You said you were a bookworm and unattractive as a teenager. When did you metamorphose into this sex bomb?
There are always people who pull you down. They kept saying this girl won’t ever be able to do this and that. And that’s what made me want to surprise everyone. It took a lot of hard work but I did it eventually.

So catching people off-guard is an old habit?
(Laughs) Yes, I love doing that.

What would you have been if you weren’t an actress?
A famous porn star! (Laughs)

A porn star???
I don’t mean everything I say. Some things are said just in jest.

Yash Chopra was overheard saying you have the ability to sustain the viewer’s attention. Anything coming up with him?
No, nothing. People often say something when they find someone good but that doesn’t necessarily mean he gave me work. I hope I get to work with him someday. Who doesn’t?

So far, you have been given only sex bomb roles. Are these the only roles offered to you?
Yes, producers come to me with such roles. But I haven’t signed any. I’d rather sit at home than do any such roles. I am looking for something challenging.

Do you think you made wrong career moves?
Yes. I admit I made some wrong decisions. My previous movies were mistakes and I don’t want to keep them in my memory.

Have you encountered the casting couch?
There have been innumerable attempts. I mean you don’t need to have the couch but yes perverts keep trying. And the industry is full of them.

Your name is western and your surname Indian. What’s the deal?
I got my surname from my mom’s boyfriend.

What was the experience of working in Red Swastika like?
It’s a very sensible role. It was superb portraying such a character. It’s a character who has gone through a lot. I had to play a mother as well as a prostitute and a killer. My role is inspired from Charlize Theron. It’s sad that the movie didn’t get multiplex releases.

What about all the bold scenes in the movie?
People should understand that bold scenes do not make a film sleazy.

There were no objections from the censor board…
None. I think they understood the film. The board is full of sensible and smart people.

What kind of a director is Vinod Pande?
He is quite a fussy director. He is almost never happy with a take and makes you do something over and over again. It’s good as that improves the performance but there have been instances when take one and take 20 were similar. That’s when it gets annoying!

Do you need direction while doing kissing scenes?
I know how to kiss. So I don’t have to be taught to do that. I am not a kid who doesn’t know how to kiss.

How do you feel after doing all those scenes?
As an actress, it is my job to portray emotions on the camera. You don’t ask a soldier how feels after killing people in a war. That’s his job. It’s the same for me. I compare myself with a soldier. I do what I have to do and I don’t talk about it later. It’s over after I do it.

Do you feel embarrassed after doing such scenes?
No. Why should I be embarrassed about that? I am embarrassed about the society I live in where a 13-year-old girl is raped. I am embarrassed when a 12-year old girl has to go for an abortion. The society is full of evil. I am ashamed of all these rather than the length of my skirt.

Are you using such roles to make a place for yourself in Bollywood? There have been actresses who did this and then moved on to meaningful roles.
No, I am not. Why should I? I will keep doing roles that I like. It’s not pehle bikini aur uske baad bindi for me. I would like to do both. That’s versatility.

Any message for fans?
Don’t judge my talent seeing the length of my skirt.

I fantasize about Tom Cruise - Koena Mitra

Move over desi beefcakes. They are passé because now spice girls of Bollywood go weak-kneed over phirang men.

And we thought it's just Bikini Babe Celina Jaitely and Amrita Arora who have their heartthrobs - Bill Cusack and Usman Afzal respectively - from foreign destinations! There are many more, on the same track, who find Hollywood guys much sexier, hotter and desirable than our desi actors.

Many of us perhaps are not even aware that Urmila Matondkar can die for Mel Gibson. This is what she has to say, "I have a long list of guys that I find sexy and they are all from Hollywood! I confess that I have been in love with Mel Gibson from a long, long time because I find him the hottest and sexiest of them all."

Similar is the case with Khallas girl Isha Koppikar. Her fondness for Russell Crow has reached such heights that she could get palpitation if the man winks at her even once.

She says, "I simply love Russell Crow. He is just amazing as an actor, a person, a man and his personality is admirable. Perhaps no one can match the impression he has on me. I don't find our Indian hunks as impressive as Russell, whom I really love."

Sex kitten Koena Mitra is no less. The actress dreams of visiting the world with heartthrob Tom Cruise.

"Yes, Tom Cruse is really someone I will enjoy to spend rest of my life with. If he is with me all other things in the world cease to exit for me. I fantasize being marooned on an island with Cruise. His body, looks and style are extremely fascinating," confesses Koena.
