Neha Dhupia recollects her 20 years old statement: “Either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan”

Actor Neha Dhupia attracted headlines in 2004 when she asserted that “either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan.” She had mentioned that since Shah Rukh was not there in Julie (2004), the movie needed to contain love-making scenes and shots in response to a question about her doing intimate scenes. In the movie, which also starred Priyanshu Chatterjee and Sanjay Kapoor, Neha played a sex worker. After viewing Pathaan on Republic Day 2023, Neha re-examined her earlier statement on Shah Rukh and recently praised him on Twitter. 

Neha Dhupia recollects her 20 years old statement: “Either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan”

The actor responded to a Twitter follower on Saturday who commented on the success of Pathaan at the box office. She wrote, “Almost two decades back Neha Dhupia had given a statement ‘only sex or Shah Rukh Khan sells’ and that stays true even today!” In reaction to the tweet, Neha tweeted, “20 years on, my statement rings true. This is not an “actor’s career” but a “king’s reign”! #KingKhan @iamsrk.” 


During an interview with The Times of India in 2004, Neha made the following statement, “Julie has love-making scenes and shots exposing my bare back… I’m not affected by the sex symbol tag. It doesn’t bother me if people say I have overshadowed Mallika Sherawat and Bipasha Basu by exposing in Julie. In today’s time, either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan. So I would rather be a sex prop in my next five films.” 

Neha had already taken to Twitter on Thursday to compliment Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in a series of tweets. Neha shared a snapshot of a shirtless Shah Rukh from the action blockbuster, which was released in theatres throughout the world on January 25. She tweeted, “Shah Rukh, the love we have for you is hard to explain. Deepika Padukone, you set the screen on fire with your gaze and your kicks and tricks. John Abraham you make bad look so good! Salman Khan we would go back to the cinemas to watch the best cameo in history. Pathaan is here to stay!!!” 


While praising the film, she tweeted, “It was a packed house, there were whistles, there was cheer and our hearts rejoiced… we laughed on beat, we applauded on every dialogue and we jumped out of our seats on cue each time Pathaan kicked. Shah Rukh Khan, thank you for you… this is what cinematic victory looks like!” 


Pathaan is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and has the biggest superstars of the country Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in it. YRF’s adrenaline pumping film, Pathaan, released on January 25, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
