Don't
go
by
the
on-screen
image
that
she
has
gained
ever
since
her
debut
film
Nishabd
released
a
few
years
back.
If
Jiah
Khan,
one
of
the
leading
ladies
of
soon-to-be-released
Housefull
is
to
be
believed,
she
is
quite
an
introvert
and
doesn't
quite
jump
with
joy
when
asked
to
wear
revealing
outfits.
Not
just
that,
she
is
candid
enough
to
admit
that
though
she
would
be
seen
in
a
two
piece
bikini
in
this
Sajid
Khan
directed
multi
starrer,
it
isn't
everyday
in
her
personal
life
that
she
roams
around
in
such
an
outfit
even
during
a
holiday.
"Really,
ever
since
the
release
of
Nishabd,
whenever
people
think
of
me,
they
believe
that
I
would
be
quite
comfortable
wearing
sexy
clothes.
The
matter
of
the
fact
though
is
that
this
is
completely
untrue",
states
Jiah
whose
only
other
release
after
Nishabd
has
been
Ghajini
where
she
hadn't
quite
indulged
in
skin
show.
Still,
even
when
it
comes
to
the
reel
life,
Jiah
isn't
quite
comfortable
exposing
for
camera.
Even
when
a
filmmaker
approaches
her
with
a
'demand
of
the
situation',
she
needs
to
be
fully
convinced.
"The
setting
of
Housefull
is
such
that
there
was
a
lot
of
travelling
required
across
the
globe.
Also,
some
of
the
key
scenes
are
set
on
a
beach
and
it
was
imperative
that
all
we
leading
ladies
got
into
swimwear.
Now
when
you
are
on
a
location
like
this,
you
don't
quite
roam
around
all
covered
up,
right?
What
else
would
young
girls
wear
when
on
beach?
You
have
to
go
as
per
the
mood
and
setting.
It
is
the
practical
way
of
doing
things",
details
Jiah
who
consented
to
wear
a
two
piece
bikini
after
Sajid
Khan
gave
her
a
detailed
account
of
the
situation
in
the
film.
Though
Jiah
understood
his
point
of
view,
it
wasn't
quite
easy
for
her
to
slip
into
the
attire
on
the
very
first
go.
She
was
hesitant
to
begin
with
and
was
wondering
how
she
would
be
presented
on
screen.
"It
was
actually
quite
difficult
for
me
to
wear
a
bikini.
I
am
pretty
demure
when
I
am
not
on
screen",
Jiah
gives
an
account
of
her
real
self,
"Would
you
believe
it
that
in
real
life,
and
I
don't
really
wear
bikinis
even
when
I
am
on
holidays.
Also,
frankly
speaking,
I
don't
really
have
much
experience
with
swimwear.
So
I
had
to
depend
upon
the
people
from
the
costume
department
of
Housefull
to
help
me
make
the
best
choice."
"I
guess
somehow
the
Nishabd
image
has
stuck
by
me",
sighs
Jiah,
"The
fact
though
is
entirely
different.
If
you
come
to
my
house,
you
won't
find
me
roaming
around
in
hot
pants.
That's
not
the
way
it
works
actually.
But
then
people
are
in
a
different
impression
altogether
and
it
is
actually
quite
a
task
for
me
to
make
them
understand
that
my
reel
life
and
real
life
are
two
completely
different
things.
I
am
actually
quite
an
introvert
and
not
as
'bindaas'
as
I
am
perceived
to
be."
