Now who's that girl? That's a question on everyone's lips ever since Neetu Chandra decided to don a new avtar beginning 2009.

She has made sure that the winter of 2009 begins on a RED HOT note with the dare bare shoot that she has just done for the magazine MAXIM.

Never ceasing to surprise month after month, Neetu Chandra shows the other side of herself (well literally!) as she confidently poses for the camera in a never seen before avtar. From the track suits and sarees of her last release 'Oye Lucky Lucky Oye', she has come up with some absolutely stunning poses for the magazine Maxim.

Answer this honestly, when you entered the industry, were you willing to get into such dare-bare mode?

I don't know why am I asked this question repeatedly? Even in my first film 'Garam Masala', Priyadarshan chose me over the the other two girls for wearing a swimming costume.

He asked all of us to get into the costume and did the look test. After that he gave me a go ahead to wear it for a song shoot. When I could do that 3 years back, what's the big deal in doing it today?

Weren't you worried about how your family back there would react after they see you in this new dare-n-bare skin show avtar?

In fact I didn't even have to inform them before I posed for the camera. My mom and everyone else in the family blindly trust me and always say that whatever you would do, it would only be after giving it some good thought. When your parents and people close to you say something like that, you become even more conscious. You end up saying to yourself that 'I don't have to take any wrong step that would disappoint them'.

Reputation of the magazine would have played a major role in going ahead with the shoot, right?

Yes, it did play a big role in it. Maxim is known to be a sensuous magazine. People out there are quite chilled out and I didn't see any hassles in walking in for the shoot.

So is Neetu going to be a hot siren in future films?

Siren may be a too big a word but yes, in Vipul Shah's next film as a producer, I do play a hot-n-sexy girl.

Apart from Vipul Shah's film, in 2009 Neetu Chandra will also be seen in 'Flat No. 13B' and 'Ksarprasad Ka Bhoot'.
