‘Maxim’ized Entertainment

Even under the most lax of standards, no one would conceivably accuse the rag Maxim of carrying intellectually stimulating interviews on its pages.

Actually, I correct myself – their contents are stimulating, including for the brain or parts substituted for brains by the male of the species. Yet, I am not sure what to make of this Q&A in the Indian edition of Maxim with a beyond-the-letters-of-the-alphabet-grade starlet/model I had never heard of, Sherlyn Chopra (partly SFW). The highly entertaining interview is of course, simply a space filler (and even presented in the smallest possible font so as not to distract from the eye-candy) – but whether it is indented as a shock value for the repressed Indian male or is a spoof, I am not sure.

Few gems:

So we’re guessing you weren’t a big fan of Ajit movies with their “Mona ke saath Sona” dialogues.

Never! I used to hate those filmslike anything. They were proper sleazebag flicks.

 

Ah – that totally answers why I was corrupted early in life: I watched ‘Yaadon Ki Baarat‘, ‘Zanjeer’ and the likes ! This would also be a good time to point out that a quick search reveals Ms Chopra’s non-sleazebaggy acting pedigree, having starred (under the name Mona Chopra) in such art-house flicks as Naughty Boy and Jawani Diwani: A Youthful Ride. And obviously driven by critical acclaims from such serious films, she now sets her sights higher:

Would you like to act in a porn flick?

It depends on who will be directing it. I like Martin Scorsese. If he is the one, then I’d go to any extent for him.

Unfortunately, I now see ‘Raging Bull‘ in a whole different light. 😛

And not just art, apparently she has a very scientific approach to life:

Well… yes I have done it again and again, but then the next time it was me with a guy and a girl. I don’t believe in sticking to the normal 1:1 ratio thing. If you can heighten your pleasure in a ratio of 1:3 or 2:4, then why not?

Possibly the best damn scientific explanation of ménage à trois !

You could very well ask what I am doing perusing pages of Maxim India and I may well tell you its none of your business.
