All about Neetu Chandra @ Nneetu Chandra

Recently I read in a leading tamil e-paper that ‘Yaavarum Nalam’ fame Nneetu Chandra has decided to flaunt her well-endowed body (actually they used the term ‘semi-naked’ in e-paper) in her next film. Her well-wishers adviced to show off her body like Mallika Sherawat does to become leading heroine and she decided to execute their advice. The news created curiosity in my mind and I digged more details about her.

Nneetu Chandra was born in Patna, Bihar. She studied at Nortre Dame Academy in Patna and graduated from IP College in Delhi. Nneetu appeared in dozens of ads before entering the Indian film industry. She debuted in a glamorous role in ‘Garam Masala’ (2005) along with John Abraham and Akshay Kumar. Then she did Godavari(Telugu; 2006), Traffic Signal (2007), ‘One Two Three’ (2008), ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye’ (2008), Satyameva Jayate(Telugu; 2009) and Yaavarum Nalam & 13B(2009). ‘Khushar Prasad Ka Bhoot’ directed by Gary Garewal and ‘Mumbai Cutting' directed by Rahul Dholakia are her current projects. She did an Item Number in ‘Summer 2007’ which was released in 2008.

After seeing her excellent performance in 'Traffic Signal'', a National Award winning film, Director Bala tried her for his recently released film 'Naan Kadavul'. But during the screen test, Bala felt that she looks like a north indian girl. He wanted a south indian face and he selected Pooja. So Neetu could not get that chance.

Nneetu is a black belt holder in Taekwondo, a Korean martial art. She represented India in two different games which are very rare - International Taekwondo Championship at Hong Kong in 1996 and in World Korfball Championship in 1995 at New Delhi. She is a national games Silver Medal winner in Taekwondo. She is also a vivid Basketball player. She is a trained Kathak dancer. She is D’damas Jewellery brand ambassador.

Her featuring in Stardust in a stunning bikini shoot and dare-bare shoot for Maxim magazine reveals her self-confidence. Catch here what she said about the shoots in her own words “I am someone who doesn’t believe in the concept of ‘Size Zero’. I believe that for a woman, her curves and curls should be in the right place. I have been getting calls appreciating my approach towards the shoot. Of course, people have found me quite sensuous and hot.” About doing Item Numbers she said “I think item numbers are hyped negatively. But even then, I'm looking forward to doing them".

It is clear that she is ready to shed her girl-next-door image and ready to flaunt her voluptuous assets. Movie buffs! Be ready to catch her in her next film and enjoy!
