'It was all coincidental and happened so quickly', speaks Gul in a breathless manner as… more

Gul Panag has been having a busy 2008. After her critically acclaimed performance in SUMMER 2007, she has recently tasted box office success with HELLO.

In my usual impulsive manner I told him ‘Sorry, Radhika’s character doesn’t excite me. However, I can see myself as Priyanka.’ Atul took a split second and said,… more

In my last film Manorama Six Feet Under, there is a dialogue where I tell Abhay Deol, ‘had you used condom on the first night, then we would not have had a baby we had not planned’.

"What's the big deal in it after all", questions Gul, "Also, this is not the first time that I have done something like this on screen. Before HELLO also I have had love making scenes in practically each of my films. Have you forgotten MANORAMA –SIX FEET UNDER or DOR?" No, we haven't!
