Actress Neetu Chandra doesn't like to be called a bold actress and says her much-in-news bathing scene in Jagmohan Mundhra's Apartment is not at all vulgar.
"There is no vulgarity or cheapness in the shower scene। The shot gives an illusion that I am not wearing anything but it is a trick of the camera। It's an illusion that the filmmakers have created because I wasn't comfortable shooting otherwise," Neetu, 25, told.
The actress, who made an appearance as a temptress on UTV Bindass' Emotional Atyachaar to promote her film, says she feels disturbed when people react strongly to such scenes.
"I play a hostel girl in the movie and in that particular scene I am just thinking about something while bathing. Now this is something so many of us do and can connect with. Besides, you can't wear a lehenga in the bathroom. What's realistic cinema then?" said Neetu.
Comparisons are being drawn between her bathing scene and a similar scene by veteran actress Smita Patil in 1980 film Chakra.
Commenting upon that, Neetu said, "Back then even Smita Patil knew what she was doing. It's not wrong. I don't do films because they have bold scenes. I do bold scenes if the script demands," she said.
The mention of her being known as a bold actress in Bollywood ticks off Neetu, who drew the ire of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists for her girl-on-girl photo shoot for a magazine last year.
"Where have I done bold roles? I have not done any bold role. In Traffic Signal, I played a simple girl, in One Two Three I played a police officer and was covered in uniform throughout."
"Then in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! also I am not wearing revealing clothes and neither have I done anything shocking in Rann in which I play a model. So what is bold? Even in Apartment this is just a scene which you won't even care about when you see the film," she said in an agitated tone.
