Sherlyn Chopra likes being unconventional

Sherlyn Chopra who has just turned producer is happy that she is part of an evolution in Bollywood.

Says the firebrand actor, "I'm glad to be a part of the era which has witnessed a huge revolution. Be it politics, cinema, sports, business or any other arena, women across the globe including India are in great form mentally, physically and consciously to undertake greater responsibilities and tougher challenges that are often encountered on paths less travelled."

Sherlyn is also happy that she has gone from being just a pin-up girl to an entrepreneur.

Says she, "The rapid metamorphosis in my case would not have been possible had the mindsets of the majority of the people in the Hindi film industry continued to be goverened by prejudices. I look upto entrepreneurs who command respect and attention for daring to think out of the box and act accordingly. They do not have a herd mentality. What they have is unadulterated creativity which is set on fire by courage."

Naming films like " The Dirty Picture", " Erin Brokovich", " No One Killed Jessica"," The Black Swan" as cinema that has changed the way we think, Sherlyn says, "Unconventionality is no longer a taboo. It is being applauded and celebrated by both the classes and the masses. The pulse of the youth is racing towards liberalisation. And I'm truly loving it."

Asked why she decided to give us photographs that resembled those of the " Jism 2" campaign, the actor quips, "I have pushed the envelope by choosing to cover my nakedness with nothing but pure consciousness."
