Neha has got a brand 'nude' attitude these days!

The 21-year-old former Miss India doesn't go all red, anymore, when someone points finger at her naked, supine glory or her scorching smooch in 'Julie'. Instead she takes all the skin show in her stride and gives a broad grin.

Her new mantra: "When wearing only a smile - be sure to smile a lot."

Dismissing all the criticism she states, "The only set of people I seek permission from are my parents and they've been quite supportive of my upcoming film till now. So, I don't care what people say. It is all about emotions and I have given it my 100 percent. People may come to see skin but they'll leave with soul."

Julie was her conscious decision to 'do something different'. Though she didn't meet any call girls like Kareena for preparation of her role but she definitely worked hard to step into the protagonist's shoes, when an innocent Goan girl like her meets emotional setbacks and decides to journey into prostitution.

Deepak Shivdasani had been a true sister under the skin too. The two bound each other by a contract where Deepak couldn't make her do anything more and Neha couldn't do anything less than what was required by her part.

"Though I was uncomfortable with few scenes but once I understood my character it wasn't such a big deal. Sex is part of the story but it is not about the professional side. It is about the emotional side, which I had to bring out on my own. It's an emotion that any woman would go through," gushes Neha.

Dhupia is well aware of the fact that once Julie hits the marquee, she'll be bracketed for such roles but she's hardly apologetic about it. Her only remorse, some day people will grow up and realize that the only thing vile about human bodies is the small minds some people have developed within them.
