London-based actress Geeta Basra, whose debut film "Dil Diya Hai" sank into oblivion, is skeptical about "bold scenes" in Hindi films because it is blown out of proportion.

However, her second film, Shyam Bajaj's "The Train", about an extra-marital affair, has a bold storyline and requires her to shed her inhibitions.

"In Hollywood a scene is a scene but here it's tagged as a 'bold scene'. I am not okay with bold scenes. But I've realised that it's just a 'character' that I am portraying. I rather focus on the character than let such issues hassle me. Moreover, the story was too tempting to decline it on such grounds," Geeta said.

Shedding light on her role, she said: "I play Roma Kapoor, a mature businesswoman, and the script requires her to be bold in some ways. The film deals with extramarital affairs but there's a lot more to it. It's just a subtext and there's more to the story."

Geeta, who grew up on a staple diet of Hindi films, was disheartened when her debut vehicle flopped.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. The promos looked promising and people were taking note of it. I guess we shouldn't have released it when there was 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai', which gave us tough competition," sighed Geeta.

"Clichéd as it may sound, we as actors worked with utmost sincerity and gave it our all. Anyway people have appreciated my work and I still get calls for my performance."

In "The Train" she is paired opposite Emraan Hashmi, who recently tied the nuptial knot with long time girlfriend Parveen Shahani.

A diehard Madhuri Dixit fan, Geeta is eagerly awaiting her comeback.

"I am so happy that she's returning to the silver screen. She is just so perfect and it's great to have her back," said Geeta, who desperately wanted to be a part of "Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon".

The lady is fairly superstitious and doesn't wish to reveal more about her upcoming films.

"I have two more projects coming up. We'll be starting in March and I am really looking forward to it," she signed off.
