There’s someone special in Neil Nitin Mukesh’s life, but he won’t say much about who she is. “She’s not from the industry. I’ve indirectly told her about my feelings and will make it formal and public at the right time,” he says.

And when that happens, Neil wouldn’t mind going all out to prove his love for her. “I’d even get a tattoo of her name,” he says.

About his chemistry with co-star Bipasha Basu in his latest flick, Aa Dekhen Zara, he says,” I’m in awe of Bipasha and adore her completely. She’s a disciplined person and would transform us into live wires the moment she arrived on the sets,” says Neil. But Bips hasn’t been heard saying much about him. “It’s not a mutual admiration society and I’m sure she feels a great fondness for me,” he says.

Going by reports, it appears that Aa Dekhen Zara seems to be in the Mr India mould, except that Neil’s character has a camera rather than a watch. “There is a gadget in the movie , but the film isn’t similar to Mr India except in terms of its simplicity,” explains Neil.

The actor, who’s just one-film-old, says he has learnt a lot from his 2007 debut, Johnny Gaddaar. “I’ve understood how important marketing is to make sure your film is watched. Johnny Gaddaar would have been a much bigger hit if it had been marketed well. I’m lucky that the film didn’t go unnoticed and audiences liked my work,” says Neil.

About doing different genres of Bollywood cinema he says,” Indian cinema is changing fast and I like doing roles that have various layers to them. I’ve not made a deliberate choice about doing thrillers, and in Aa Dekhen Zara, you will see me shaking my booty. My next with Ken Ghosh is a romantic movie. Thrillers excite me; there’s drama and lot to emote.”

He also declared that he would soon start blogging like many of his colleagues in the industry, so he can connect with his fans.
