Gul Panag has gone chic and how! Though in real life she has been a bindaas woman all these years in spite of being a part of so-called serious films like DHOOP & DOR, on print she has rarely gone the whole hog in projecting a sensual image. However, she has gone ahead and done what is hardly unthinkable for her by getting into a dare-bare shoot for MAXIM.

“I have always done things my own way and it was irresistible when the magazine approached me to get down to my night suit. Did I feel awkward about doing so? Nope not at all. What’s there at all to feel awkward about? I have never felt odd driving an Enfield or a F1 car for Renault or picking up the kind of projects I believe in. It was the same in case of this shoot as well. I was promised a lot of fun and though some may be getting shocked with my dare-bare poses, my message to them is that ‘Hey you there, I am like that only’”, says Gul in a rapid tone while being mighty excited about the kind of response that her shoot is fetching for her.

A very simple reason for putting Gul on the cover is the fact that she’s stunningly beautiful. Plus, she occupies a space in Indian cinema that not many share. She has done some critically acclaimed roles and still can carry off a “sexy” look with complete ease. In short, she’s a real woman of substance and probably the best thing that could happen to a man! We catches up with the Gul who seems to have raised quite some eyebrows as she gets hot-n-sizzling on the cover of latest issue of MAXIM. Here is a scrap of conversation with the versatile actress…
Why now?
I know, the first question which comes to the mind of so many people out there is - 'Why is Gul being seen in such outfits on print after being in the industry for so many years?' Well, my answer is simple and straight - no one approached me to do such a shoot before! I was always game for it but then it had to be a magazine/publication of repute that could have made me say yes to get into a night costume for a cover. Well, Maxim thought of me and I didn't have any reasons to say no!
A desperate move?
You must be kidding me! Me, getting desperate, and that too to see myself in a costume which is far less revealing than swimming costume? Come on, give me a break! If you do a search on Internet, some of the first few images would have me in a swimsuit. For someone who wore a swimsuit way back in 1999 for Miss Universe pageant, I can only laugh at the insinuation that I am being desperate. I am not trying to be a 'born again' actress who suddenly decides to come out of a closet, leave her sari/salwar-suit behind and suddenly aim at becoming chic!
Chic, did you say?
Of course yes! Those close to me know me for what I am and I guess even the industry too has come to realize now that regardless of some of the arty roles I have done, I don't carry that garb with me in my personal life. I am a hot, hip and a sexy chic and I am proud of that. In any case I have always worn Western outfits in real life as well. So please, don't look at me with such a shocked expression on your face. I am not shocked you shouldn't be surprised either!
Gul turns rebel?
I guess you aren't getting the point. See for me, what carries utmost importance is to do what I feel is right. You may call me a rebel for driving a Royal Enfield, you may call me a rebel for driving a Formula I car, you may call me a rebel for running kilometres at stretch and if that's your definition of someone being a rebel then I am surprised that how could wearing a night costume be categorized as a rebellious act. (Laughs) In any case, to curb the 'shock value' (the way you may want to term it), it's not as if suddenly I have walked out of my robes and emerged in a two-piece bikini!
Capitalizing on sex quotient?
Of course yes! One should be capitalizing on what you are. In any case, after all it is show business and it doesn't harm to let people know the real you. If I am sexy and subtle, I want people to know that. On a magazine cover, you get to see the real Gul; the lady who has a mind of her own. On camera, I would again be playing characters and that would have nothing to do with me wearing a swimsuit or showing cleavage. You can be a serious actor but be fun in real life!
Serious again?
A mix of everything in fact. See, I have had been part of films like Dor, Manorama Six Feet Under and Dhoop and I am extremely proud of them. Similarly, I am proud of films like Hello and Hello Darling, which would be seeing me in a glam look. It is only coincidental that these films are arriving in a bunch. And in the interim there is also this fun movie called Straight. So as you see, I continue to play the balancing game!
Expecting controversies?
Let them be if that's what keeps media happy! I am clear that if I had to generate controversies, I could have done so 4-5 years back when I just started out in movies. I remember PR people coercing me at that time to come up with quotable quotes, do something outrageous, get some heat on; you know the works! I was at an initial stage of my career and could have done that to be in THE news. But did I do that? No, because that's not my style of working and would never be.
Your forthcoming projects...
Right now I am engaged to three projects, namely Hello, Hello Darling and Straight. In Hello I am working with Sohail Khan, Sharman Joshi, Ishaa Kopikar & Amrita Arora. In Straight you can watch me with Vinay Pathak and in Hello Darling I am screened with Celina Jaitly & Javed Jaffrey.
