Neetu Chandra's reading lips!

Lips don't lie! And nobody knows it better than Bollywood hottie Neetu Chandra, who has now acquired a brand new hobby of lip reading!

Ask the Traffic Signal gal how did she acquire such an unusual hobby, and pat comes the reply: "Since I'm travelling to different cities for film shoots and events, I've to wait for hours at the business lounges of various airports. So, I've recently picked up the art of lip-reading. Especially when two young lovebirds are sitting next to each other, it's interesting to read their minds through their lips.

The girl would turn coy and says, "You always do like this," and the boy would pertly voice the words "I love you, baby!" I'm almost a pro now at lip reading!" But, don't the subjects of her study get little conscious when she's staring at them to read their lips? "That's the beauty! You have to read the lips when they are not watching, so discretion is the key," says Neetu with a laugh.

Vote for the hottest new face

The Times Polls are fast becoming a barometer for what's hot in the film industry. Last year's '50 Most Desirable Men/Women' polls are still the hot topic of discussion.

Enthused and encouraged by the response, we're introducing new categories. One of them being the Hottest New Face – Male and Female. Contrary to the myth that B-Town doesn't give ample opportunity to newcomers, this year, 18 hot young girls and 11 desirable young men made their debut.

They made it to our list because of their hotness quotient. Please note that it has nothing to do with their histrionics on screen. It has more to do with oomph, sex-appeal and that X factor.

Click on your favourite and submit your vote. Finally, just one new boy and girl will make it as the hottest
new face of 2010.

To vote, log on to www.itimes.com/polls. Remember that the last date for voting is May 31, 2011. So go on, give Bollywood something to think about!

Munni is my favorite: Yana

Yaana Gupta, who is often in the news for various controversies, denies rumors about her relationship with Salman Khan (Jhalak Dikhlaja 4 co-star) and offer from a magazine to pose nude. 
 
Yaana will be seen in her latest item song 'Laila Main Laila' from the film Chalo Dilli (which released on Friday). She also happens to replace Bipasha Basu in an item song from the film Murder 2. Excerpts:
 
Your latest item song 'Laila Main Laila' is making listeners groove. How does it feel to be back?
 I feel very excited about it and I am grooving myself.
 
What do you think of the original song? Which one do you find better?
 I am attached to the new one as I am a part of it. The original song has obviously been a hit in the past and I am happy that I got an opportunity to be associated with such a classic song.
 
Amongst 'Munni' and 'Sheila', which one is your favorite?
 Munni is my favorite. I prefer its music.
 
How do you rate yourself as an item girl?
I wouldn't try to rate myself but improve and become better each time.
 
Do you want to continue to have the tag of an item girl? 
 I don't mind.
 
You are in the news more often for the controversies rather than work. Does it help in getting work?
 I don't think it helps in getting work, but what does help getting work is being Professional, talented and that is what I focus on.
 
There are many rumors floating about you dating Salman Khan ( Jhalak Dikhlaja co-star). Could you please clarify? 
I have been saying the truth all along but I suppose no one seems to be satisfied with it. I am being asked the same question over and over again. All I can say is I am not interested and I have never been.
 
You are living in India for long but are not yet an Indian citizen. Please comment.
 My soul is Indian. I don't think I need a paper My soulor a document to make me a citizen.
 
Is it true you got an offer to pose nude from a British magazine?
I wish!
 
You shot for another item song- Aa Zara Kareeb Se ( Murder 2 )...wasn't Bipasha Basu the first choice?
I heard so!
 
When can we see you act in films?
As soon as I get an offer to act and not just pose in a bikini.

Are you going to be a part of any new reality show in the near future? 
Not as yet.
 
What do you do when you're not working?
Give interviews (smiles).
