Says Negar Khan of the raunchy 'chadti jawani meri' video fame that she would like to work with the young Congress leader. Are you listening Mr Gandhi?
The sensuous Negar Khan is packing her bags to fly to India. Her new remix album Dhoom Machale will hit screens here soon. She called up MiD DAY to inform about her big return, her special bond with Salman Khan and obviously her sensual stints.u00a0

I am just 24. So I was busy with my studies. I just got a degree in filmmaking.
u00a0
What about your acting commitments?
I just finished with a Norwegian reality TV show Paradise Hotel. Set in a hotel, the format lets a girl choose her perfect roommate but from the opposite sex.
u00a0
Is it similar to Big Boss?
Not exactly. The hotel has cameras all over, in the bathroom, the shower and everywhere else you can think of and not think of.
u00a0
Were you comfortable with the show?
I wasn't when we started but later I adjusted. But I was very cautious about being shot naked. Popping breasts wasn't an issue but being shown fully naked was.
u00a0
So how did you hide?
I obviously couldn't hide my breasts but I always used to go under the shower with my panties on. But even then I was shown completely nude once. May be I wasn't smart enough.
Bare assets aren't an issue with the audience here. I didn't do any nude scene intentionally. It was a part of the deal.
u00a0
Was this hide-and-seek game because you're not comfortable with your body?
Absolutely not. I am extremely comfortable with my body and every part of it. It's just that my Indian values stop me from going completely nude in public.
u00a0
If that's the case, why did so many of your 'offending pictures' frequent the Internet?u00a0
Moving around in a bikini isn't offending in the West. I can't be wearing a sari on the beach. And if some paparazzi is after me all the time, once in a blue moon I might be caught topless.u00a0
u00a0
And what are youru00a0 Indian values?
I am shy, I blush and I am emotional. I know my limits and I have a family to whom I am accountable.

Were any of the co-contestants on the show caught having sex?
Yes, many were.u00a0u00a0
u00a0
And you?
I wasn't because I didn't have sex.
u00a0
Was that because you're not comfortable with short stints?
I can't have sex for the heck of it. I need to feel for the person I am bedding. If he is my crush, yes I will. Else, I would rather look for emotional support.
u00a0
But isn't sex a part of the emotional trip between couples?
It is, but that shouldn't be the first step of a relationship.
u00a0
How is the definition of a sexy girl different in Europe than that in India?
People here think I am sweet and then I am sexy. In India, I am just a sex bomb.
u00a0
Some pictures on your blog refers to homosexuality. Are you a lesbian?
I am not a lesbian. But I don't look down upon homosexuals. That's the way they're made.
u00a0
Any lesbian confrontation you have ever faced?
Once a lady grabbed my bum and she wasn't ready to leave. That's all.
u00a0
How did Bollywood treat you during your last stay?
The industry in Mumbai is warm, yet fast. I never had a bad experience during my stay.
u00a0
And who're the people you're close to in India?
None right now but when I was there, Salman Khan treated me well. He's a man. I have met him a couple of times during parties and after as well. Also at times in his office. He's a man any girl would love to fall in love with and I was no exception. I would love to work with him, the hottest Indian hunk. I like Rahul Gandhi too. He just looks like an American actor. He's so cute.
u00a0
Would you like to work with him?
Do I need to say yes?
u00a0
And Shah Rukh?
I don't know him much but I would surely like to work with Sanjay Dutt.u00a0
u00a0
Ever dealt with the casting couch?
No, I didn't.
u00a0
Do you think it's a menace?
It is indeed. But at the same time it's present everywhere the UK, US, and India. If a director asks an aspiring actress to sleep with him, it's not professional. But if the girl agrees to his demands, then the director should not be blamed alone.
u00a0
And what happened to your ex-hubby Sahil Khan?
There were manyu00a0 misunderstandings between us and things deteriorated so rapidly that I couldn't correct them. I haven't been in touch with him for the past four years and neither do I intend to. Thinking about him brings bad luck.
u00a0
Who are you dating?
I am dating an Italian actor, who also was my ex-boyfriend.
u00a0
And what is this Dhoom Machale song about?
It's a remix of the Bollywood action series Dhoom. I have sung the new version. It's ruling the charts in Norway.
u00a0
Will you have a different version of videos an explicit one for the overseasu00a0 market and a subtle one for Indian viewers?u00a0
We haven't shot the video yet but we don't intend to shoot different videos because kids who will be watching the videos are same all over.
