Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia has been in the industry for over a decade now and since then the actress has come a long way. She who was welcomed by the industry as soon as she won the 'Miss India' beauty pageant, claims that she is strong and emotional, but not delusional.
She states that the life in glamour world is very difficult as stars live dual lives. She who comes from a common life states that it's very rare that you find honest people.
"I like people who are politically incorrect as I see a bit of myself in them. I don't get along with correct people as they worry me. We are human, not God. I love flaws and imperfections," she said.
When asked how it feels to be in such a demanding profession and at the same time have a personal space, she exclaims that an actor has to deal with many things at the same time. "You become so conscious and so aware and I constantly live these two lives. There is always this one Neha battling with the second Neha. There is one part of me that everyone wants me to be and the other part that is laid- back that understands that there is only one life," she added.
At the age of 34, when her contemporaries like Vidya Balan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rani Mukerji are married, the actress too believes in the institution of marriage but wants to wait for the right time and right man.
"Not at the moment. I was in a really fine relationship some time ago, but had to give up only due to the long distance. It's only when my relationship was slipping out of my hands that I wished that I was working in a bank so that I could have moved to Washington DC without thinking twice," Neha said.
She adds that she is not the only one to go through this phase. "There are days when I feel very lonely. I feel that I should have someone in my life and I shouldn't have to think of just what is the next piece of clothing I will wear at the next event or the next film I should chase... it's never going to end. Everyone, who is living in this city, is just running and half of us don't even know what we are running behind. I am in that unfortunate list of people and so is my entire industry. Being in this industry, you experience so much as we get bashed so publically that even a relationship break does not hurt you as much as it would normally. It's not easy. You could develop a small tumor that you could throw out sometime or if it grows, you may explode someday," she concludes.
