I’d love to do a passionate scene with Vidya: Sherlyn Chopra

Sherlyn, Sunny (Leone) says Bollywoodactresses just keep pushing the envelope, but don't really open it... You steamed it open? So Sherlyn, Sunny (Leone) says Bollywood actresses just keep pushing the envelope, but don't really open it... You steamed it open? 
Well, 'pushing the envelope' isn't just about skin-show, it's a state of mind. For me it's about leading my life with no fear. I don't have a functional family background, I don't have a man in my life at the moment and I'm glad I'm leading a life where I'm not answerable to anyone. Kudos to her if she claims to have opened any envelope.

She's raised the sex and sensuality standard in B-Town?
Just because Sunny's a pornstar doesn't mean she's set a new benchmark for adulterated erotica. She's not the ultimate provocation!

You've opened the envelope, and jumped right out of it. How comfortable were you, posing naked for an iconic adult magazine?
I was uncomfortable with my comfort level with nudity! On day one, after stripping I felt no shame and thought 'Damn you, Sherlyn, you're not fit to be Indian! I was hopping all over The Mansion without inhibitions. I wanted to do that every day of my life. It changed me as a person.

Another lady who's going 'your' way is Poonam Pandey, though so far she's made only tall claims. 
I'd like her to make noise at the right time and knock on the right door, when she really should.

You were lobbying for the role Ms Leone bagged for her debut?
I approached the Bhatts for the role; they told me I was very appealing, but obviously thought Sunny was a better choice. In retrospect, I'm grateful to them, the rejection compelled to make a conscious effort to explore my limitless mind. I wanted to prove to the world that there exists a 'Sex Symbol' in India, and if being the first Indian to be the (nude) cover girl of this adult magazine is what it takes — so be it!

There's been a lot of outrage on social networking websites, more so from women than men?
There are people who didn't like the pictures??? If 34C-24-36 ain't good enough, then what is? If they want 36 DD hold on, I'll get there too! I'm utterly disappointed in Indian men and women; they keep forgetting that we belong to the land of Kamasutra. On the other hand, there are people who've told me that I've challenged the double-standards of our country and I've killed the male ego. I think men should let go of their desire to control a woman's sexuality.

Who is your biggest competitor in the industry?
Hmnnn! Vidya Balan! She's a risk taker, and has the guts to display fat and ugliness on screen so beautifully.

Any actor you'd love to do a love-making scene with? 
Vidya Balan, again! I'd love to do a passionate scene with Vidya, I'm obsessed with her. If she's listening I want to tell her — Vidya, I can take better care of you than Siddharth (Roy Kapur)!

So you're going to leave the men starving, huh? 
I'm not as attracted to men as I am to women. Most men are just one dimensional, women are multi-dimensional; and you can do a lot more with women. Ha, ha, ha! (like eat, shop, talk)!
