Lo
and
behold
-
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
and
Manorama
-
Six
Feet
Under,
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.
Says
Anup
Kutty
from
Maxim,
"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!
The
shoot
in
itself
was
a
lot
of
fun."
How
did
the
shoot
go?
Reveals
Anup,
"We
booked
a
suite
at
the
Le
Meridien
and
ordered
a
bottle
of
champagne
to
go
with
it.
More
than
anything,
it
was
just
one
big
party!"
Gul
agrees,
"Yes,
it
was
indeed
one
huge
party
out
there.
It
was
nice
to
be
working
with
some
real
chilled
out
guys
who
belong
to
your
own
age
group.
I
got
such
a
comfort
feel
while
working
on
the
assignment
and
the
results
are
there
to
be
seen.
Believe
me,
I
truly
felt
beautiful
as
the
shutter
bags
went
on."
