Rakhi Sawant, who is known for her bold appearances has raged another controversy by stating in an interview that director Arjun Sablok asked her to strip in an audition for his first film, Na Tum Jano Na Hum.

But Sablok, who is already receiving a lot of flak for making his Neal N Nikki a smutty affair, is hardly red-faced.

Says Arjun, "If a particular actress is required to do a certain amount of skin show for my film, I'd certainly want to make sure that she has the attributes to look aesthetic. My first film had lots of hot babes and, yes, we did audition them too but I didn't personally audition Rakhi or any of the girls."

"It was my assistant, Maria, who supervised Rakhi's audition. In fact, there are three male and three female assistants for the male and female actors," he clarifies.

Moreover, over the years Rakhi has become quite comfortable in appearing in skimpiest of dresses before the camera too. Now can see her flaunting her sexuality with gusto on number of occasions. But still there is one thing she is strictly averse to. That is, kissing her male co-star.

" I don't mind flaunting skin while dancing because I believe any form of dance is basically a way to allure men. But I would not be comfortable in smooching my hero before the camera. The very idea of it makes me feel queasy," says the bold starlet.

Meanwhile, our Mirchi girl is gearing up for more titillating stuff. In her upcoming item number, you can see her all draped in a coin dress and believe us it is much better than an itsy-bitsy kiss.
