Mumbai: With Jessica Simpson taking a flight back home, it's time for Neha Dhupia to be back to her usual business. The audience will now see Neha in an item number in Priyadarshan's forthcoming film where she gyrates suggestively and asks everybody: 'Do you want to touch me?' and 'Do you want to kiss me?'.

The actress explains why she did an item song in a forthcoming film knowing well that the lyrics were suggestive and meant to titillate the audience.

Neha said, "There's nothing wrong in the song because it's meant to be suggestive."
But wasn't she uncomfortable mouthing the lyrics knowing well that they were meant to titillate the audience? Isn't it something that she had avoided doing in the past 3-4 years?

"I did this for Priyan (Priyadarshan). This is my third film with him. When he visualises something in a particular way, there must be a big reason for it. He is a national award-winning director. I have no rules when it comes to him. I had no qualms in doing the song and was absolutely comfortable shooting it. Besides, the film is a pure Priyadarshan comedy and the character of the club dancer is an integral part of the funny situation that emerges later on," she said.

Other than the reality show with Jessica Simpson, Neha will be seen in one more international TV series after her debut international mini-series (Bollywood Hero) which premiered a couple of months ago.

"Only a few people know that I actually started off with a Japanese film (the role of Meena in Nattu Odoru! Ninja Densetsu released in 2000). In fact, that was my debut in front of the camera. It happened when I was in college. Now, I will be doing one more international series that was shot at the famous Times Square," she said.

Even though Neha is taking up international assignments one after the other, she has no intentions of leaving Bollywood.

"I don't intend to cut down on my work in Bollywood at all. I have five films releasing in the next few months," she said.

Neha ends saying: "Among them are Raat Gayi Bat Gayi opposite Rajat Kapoor and Vipul Shah's Action Replay. So, you are going to see a lot more of me in the next few months."
