Someone
out
there
is
resulting
in
some
serious
temperature
soaring.
And
the
young
woman
in
question
is
none
other
than
Gul
Panag.
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.
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
getting
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
a
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.
Now
now
now,
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
she
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
puhleeze,
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
One
car,
you
may
call
me
a
rebel
for
running
kilometers
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.
