States the Ex Miss India turned actress, “I don’t understand why Valentine’s is celebrated on such a huge scale. It’s not a festival of spending loads of cash to buy gifts.

Recalling her not-so-special past Valentine’s Days at her school, Neha says, “I was in Army Public school in New Delhi. I was really fat and ugly and I used to be very embarrassed on Valentine’s Day as everyone in school would get chocolates accept for me. It was only later on that I decided to lose weight by exercising regularly. I’ve really hated Valentine’s day from that time. To me it’s just a normal day which I spend with my family and loved ones.” Source

But now her new co-star, the Pakistani actor, Mikaal Zulfikar (Shoot on Sight) has spilled the beans on Neha Dhupia’s U-Turn.

The actor has stated, “I am doing Jag Mohan Mundhra’s next after doing his Shoot on Sight. It is called Room Mates and it is a love triangle featuring me along side Neha Dhupia and Sneha Ullal. It’s an erotic thriller with lots of sexy, raunchy scenes.” Source

Recently Neha Dhupia showed her action skills with a few stunts in Akshay Kumar-starrer “Singh Is Kinng”. Though she managed the action scenes in the film, Neha says she will never take part in a show like “Khatron Ke Khiladi”.

Neha said, “I wouldn’t have done ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ even if I was offered it because it won’t challenge me creatively. There is nothing creative about it. It would force me to do stunts and stuff; so I would not do it.”

As for her future projects, the young actress, who won the Miss India crown in 2002, is looking forward to a line-up of films including “Maharathi”, “Raat Gayi Baat Gayi”, “I Am 24″, “Paying Guest”, one Percept Picture Company-produced film with Emraan Hashmi and a yet-to-be-titled film with Priyadarshan.

According to a our sources, “Apart from having catfights with Celina in Bangkok, Neha was the hot topic of conversation because she failed to report for the shooting of the film.

The unit was expecting her the following day and her scenes were planned along with the other cast members but she missed her flight after a night of partying.”

The source continues, “She didn’t turn up in Bangkok as committed, and she didn’t even inform the crew about the delay. They kept trying to reach her but they only managed to get through to her the next day and she said she couldn’t return on time because she had to stay back because she missed her flight.”

When Neha was challenged about this, she responded by saying, “I don’t drink. I don’t even know what alcohol tastes like. Unlike other actors, I don’t even do drugs. I did reach late because I missed my flight and there was some miscommunication between the airline and me.”  Paying Guests is a woman orientated sex flick that also features Celina Jaitley, Ashish Choudhary and Riya Sen.
