It was irresistible when Maxim approached me: Gul Panag




Lo and behold - Gul Panag has gone chic and how! Though in real life she has been a bindaas woman all these years in spite of being a part of so-called serious films like DHOOP, DOR and MANORAMA - SIX FEET UNDER, on print she has rarely gone the whole hog in projecting a sensual image. However, she has gone ahead and done what is hardly-unthinkable for her by getting into a dare-bare shoot for MAXIM.

�I have always done things my own way and it was irresistible when the magazine approached me to get down to my night suit. Did I feel awkward about doing so? Nope, not at all. What�s there at all to feel awkward about? I have never felt odd driving an Enfield or a F1 car for Renault or picking up the kind of projects I believe in. It was the same in case of this shoot as well. I was promised a lot of fun and though some may be getting shocked with my dare-bare poses, my message to them is that �Hey you there, I am like that only��, says Gul in a rapid tone while being mighty excited about the kind of response that her shoot is fetching for her.

Says Anup Kutty from Maxim, �A very simple reason for putting Gul on the cover is the fact that she�s stunningly beautiful. Plus, she occupies a space in Indian cinema that not many share. She has done some critically acclaimed roles and still can carry off a �sexy� look with complete ease. In short, she�s a real woman of substance and probably the best thing that could happen to a man!

The shoot in itself was a lot of fun.�

How did the shoot go?

Reveals Anup, �We booked a suite at the Le Meridien and ordered a bottle of champagne to go with it. More than anything, it was just one big party!�

Gul agrees, �Yes, it was indeed one huge party out there. It was nice to be working with some real chilled out guys who belong to your own age group. I got such a comfort feel while working on the assignment and the results are there to be seen. Believe me, I truly felt beautiful as the shutter bags went on.�
