Her 'blink-and-you-miss' role in Harry Baweja's Qayamat did nothing for this former beauty queen's career.
However, Former Miss India Neha Dhupia is excited about her forthcoming release Julie where she plays the challenging role of a young girl who ends up being a prostitute.
''This is a very challenging role for me. You just got to wait and see the film to believe that it's just not made of a few steamy scenes as you have heard of,'' the model-turned-actress said recently.
''I don't really pay so much attention to that. I do a character and for that two and half hours I am that character. People are calling that character steamy and hot, not me,'' she pointed out.
Directed by Deepak Shivdasani, 'Julie' is to hit the screen soon.
Her next release is 'Raat' which is also being completed fast.
On her future assignments she said, ''I have also signed a film with Mr K C Bokadia. The film is yet to be named. There was another film for which the dates did not match. I am comfortable doing one thing at a time.''
