"Pakistan is like a home away from home and our arms and doors are open for Pakistanis."

Hey it's not any politician, who is try to break the ice between the two countries, it's Neha Dhupia. Surprised?

Please don't be. The pretty lass is on the goodwill trip to the neighbouring country for improving Indo-Pak cultural ties.

"Please come and visit India", she urged everyone at the Royal Palm Golf and Country Club in Lahore and said, "There is no reason why Pakistan and India could not be friends, because their cultures were very similar."

Amidst her appeals for peace and better relations between the two governments Neha seemed very impressed with Pakistani women.

"I believe, there are a lot of beautiful women in the Pakistani fashion scene who are not only thorough professionals, but also setting contemporary fashion trends," she said.

She, however, said that Pakistan's film industry needs to be more professional and have more variety if it has to stand up and be counted with its peers.

When asked about her career and her stint in the movies Neha said, "I'm enjoying both modeling and acting. Right now, I'm working with director David Dhawan on another film."

Asked if she would ever act in a Pakistani movie, Dhupia said she could not say.
