Neha’s special date
Bollywood actor Neha Dhupia would like to take Obama out for a date; let him watch her film Phas Gaye Re Obama and talk about the recession.
Neha Dhupia is being dubbed as female Gabbar Singh these days, in response to her role in Phas Gaye Re Obama as Munni Madam, a dacoit who does not leave any stone unturned when it comes to using or abusing her power.
An enthusiastic Neha strikes a pose and avows: “I am not the heroine but a hero in the film. I have done everything that a hero does in the movie; including abusing and firing guns. Also, my gang performs murders and gang rape. We have done everything in the film.”
The actress insists it was a memorable experience to play a dacoit. "I am surprised by myself … at how I have done this role," Neha marvels. "But I am happy to have done this film. Every time I became Munni Madam, I felt stronger than the world."
Point out that Obama’s presence in the country was a happy coincidence for her film whose title had a reference to the US President’s name and the actress remarks: “Marketing is important. It may be a coincidence or a deliberate effort, I don’t know; but it’s good. We just want that message to reach people.”
So what message would Neha give Obama if given a chance? “I would just tell him to please watch my two-hour long movie whenever he has time. Also, if possible, I would like to take Obama out for a date; let him watch my film and talk about the recession,” smiles Neha.
