Red light area's new pet - Neha Dhupia 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, January 5, 2005 - 02:09 IST
Don't arch your brow. It isn't as scandalous as you thought…
This dusky dame splashed into Bollywood sporting a 2-piece bikini in the men-flick Qayamat. More of a glamour quotient then, her calling came with Julie where the seductress played the role of a hi-society call girl. This Deepak Shivdasani sex-n-skin flick turned to be surprise money-spinner and braced Neha Dhupia with a solo hit! But what the temptress didn't anticipate is that she is now on every wall of the notorious red-light zone …
According to a leading daily, Julie posters plaster most walls of GB Road in Delhi. Beating Chameli (Kareena Kapoor who also played CSW earlier this year), Neha is the uncrowned fresh trade icon. Workers at the infamous hooker hub empathize with the wide-eyed Goan girl who comes in search of a job to Mumbai and is trapped into the flesh market. Their earlier icon was Meena Kumari who immortalized the role of a nauch girl by way of Kamal Amrohi's Pakeezah. “Meena aapa is one actress we used to like but most of us canot relate to her anymore” says a CSW. Be it Tabu in Chandni Bar, Madhuri in Devdas or Manisha in Market, the role of a hooker finds an audience more often than not. So what is it about Julie that tops their list? “We liked her character. It is very close to our lives. And we find a connect with films that show the challenges and hardships in our lives” another concludes.
