Asin replaces Gul Panag for Tata Sky commercials

Aamir Khan’s next release Ghajini is getting a lot of buzz. So much that his Ghajini counterpart, Southern sensation Asin will replace Aamir’s current partner Gul Panag in the Tata Sky commercials.

The South Indian hottie said, “Yes, you’re right. I have signed a deal with Tata Sky for their next television commercial opposite Aamir Khan, which goes on air on the 25th December. I haven’t shot for the advert. It should be anytime soon”.

Where does that leave old partner Gul Panag?

She said, “I know nothing about it. I endorse Tata Sky Plus and have shot three films with Aamir, two of which have already been aired. My commitment with them is for one year. Anything beyond that, Tata Sky knows best”.

The hotter side of Gul Panag

Former Miss India Gul Panag, mostly seen in de-glamorised acting roles, recently caught public attention by posing in a black lingerie for the cover page of Maxim, a magazine for men. Gul said she did it to show off the 'glamorous and real side' of her personality.

'It was not for a change in my image. I am very happy to have the image that I have. I am associated with a certain type of work and I don't want to change that ever. But what is important is that people should understand that what they see on screen and what I am are two different persons,' said Gul.

Gul has received critical acclaim for playing offbeat roles in films like 'Dor' and 'Manorama Six Feet Under', in which she was seen mostly in Indian attire.

'In reality, I am not that kind of person as shown in most of my films. I am not a village girl clad in 'saris' and 'salwar-kameez' in real life. I am a regular modern girl who is glamorous in real life and that's what I wanted to show. In fact, nobody has ever seen me in 'saris' and 'salwar-kameez' in real life,' said Gul who debuted with Parth Arora's Dhoop in 2003.

'I can look good in a bikini or any other sexy outfit or equally convincing in a nightie. That's the job of an actor,' she added.
Commenting upon her roles, she said: 'I believe that I'm extremely versatile as I can do power packed performances as well as look good as and when required. I don't want the people to be confused that the role that I have been playing in my films is what I am in real life. It's just the man who is playing the villain in films is not bad in real life.'

What made you say yes to Maxim?
'Why not? It's the highest selling men's magazine in the world,' she said.

Asked about her future plans, she said: 'It's not that I'll be doing more glamorous or power packed roles. It's about the offers. Glamour cannot be substance to a role. However, in most of my forthcoming films, I have glamorous roles.

'In Hello I am glamorous. I have two more films - Straight and Hello Darling - in which too I have glamorous roles.' The actress said she is playing a modern, urban young woman in 'Hello'. 'My character is neither black nor white. It has a huge amount of grey in her. In the story, she is stuck in a conflict in choosing between love and practicality.'

Based on novelist Chetan Bhagat's One Night At The Call Centre also stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Sohail Khan, Isha Koppikar, Sharman Joshi, Amrita Arora and Arbaaz Khan.
