Deepali Singh (DNA; August 1, 2017)

Ask Neha Dhupia who was the biggest revelation for her in the first season of her audio chat show No Filter Neha, and she exclaims, “Ranbir Kapoor! I always thought he was really shy but he was very unfiltered on the show.” The actress is back with the second season of the show, with Varun Dhawan was the first guest to let Neha in on his secrets.

In the pipeline, are guests like Parineeti Chopra, Imtiaz Ali, Ranveer Singh, Vidya Balan, Sania Mirza and six more celebrities, who will remain a surprise for now. Who is the one celebrity who’s on her wishlist? “Shah Rukh Khan!” she says without missing a beat. “He was nice enough to meet me after the first season and I have taken that informal party conversation as a confirmation, so I’m hoping he comes on my show. I’m a big fan!” she gushes. Well, Neha might have put a lot of celebs on the hotseat, but we turned the tables on her and made her answer some questions of our own. Presenting our version of No Filter with Neha!

Exes. Friends forever or foes forever?
I think they are friends. I’m friends with all my exes.

If you had to choose between...A. Katrina Kaif or Alia Bhatt
I will choose Alia for the first season and Katrina for the second.

B. Fawad Khan or Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir.

C. Karan Johar or Imtiaz Ali
You can put anyone in the other place and for me, Karan will always be the winner.

D. Shopping or sleeping
Sleeping for sure.

If you had to present an award for the following...A. Best fake laugh
Ranveer Singh, on my show, said that he has the best fake laugh, so I’ll give it to him.

B. Best gossip girl/boy
Ranbir Kapoor.

C. Best ‘Thank God they have famous parents or they’d be nowhere’
That’s a tough one. I would like the star sons and daughters to come for my show, so I won’t answer that question.

D. Best ‘Almost Made it but didn’t’
Me. Karan gave it to me, so humiliating! Let’s go with that.

E. Best social media account
Sonam Kapoor

If your plane was going down, what is the one thing you would trade with God for your life — sex, money, fame, movies or dessert?
Dessert, for sure.

Have you ever dated any of your co-stars?
No, I haven’t. But I wish I had dated more in my life. For someone like me, I have dated very little.

Are you single now?
Yes, unfortunately.

Fashion advice to the following: A. Kangana Ranaut
Don’t always look so good because it makes me feel really sh**ty when I wake up to see your photographs.

B. Sonakshi Sinha
Wear more Indian because you look amazing in Indian clothes.

C. Priyanka Chopra
OMG! She’s on Times Square wearing a white T-shirt and denims and ruling the world. What can I say to her!

Your flaws: A. Do you brush your teeth twice a day?
No, I don’t. It depends. Sometimes, I brush even four times when there’s an agenda. But definitely once!

B. Do you skip showers?
No, I’m obsessed with showers. I have three-four showers even on a cold winter day in Delhi.

C. Do you burp in public?
Ya! of course. As long as the public is not paying attention.

D. Do you wear the same T-shirt twice without washing?
Yes, specially when it’s airport spotting. If they don’t notice me while I’m going in, then I wear the same tee on my way back.

E. Do you give ma-behen ka gaalis?
Yes! I do a show called Roadies, don’t forget that!

F. Do you lie about being late?
All the time! I’m always late!

G. Have you ever drunk-dialled someone?
I was with my best friend in Barcelona and I drunk-dialled one of my exes. His sister picked up the phone and I started rambling without knowing who’s on the other side. And she was like, ‘I love you, too’.

Are you part of the mile high club?
Uhhhhhhhhhh... trick question.

Who are you sexting these days?
Nobody, I’m so busy with this show, there is no scope for anything else right now.

Do you have an issue with creepy crawlies?
If they come on to me, yes.

What are Neha Dhupia’s relationships like?
Chilled out. Lots of Netflix and eating out. No agenda.

What’s Neha like as a girlfriend?
I think pretty good for as long as it lasts.

Three things every girl wants in a guy, but never says out aloud.
I don’t know about every girl but for me, it would definitely be punctuality, great parallel parking skills because I don’t know how to park. And all the help in the world when it comes to technology because I suck at it.

Your instant ‘feel sexy’ trick?
Spanx

Skinny or curvy? What according to you do guys really crave?
Curvy

Would it bother you if your partner looked at another woman and say she is sexy?
Not really. For the first six months, it would bother me. Not after that since I would have also checked out so many guys by then!

Have you ever snooped on a boyfriend?
No, not my style

On a scale of 1-10, how high maintainance are you?
I’m a fauji kid. Our biggest luxury growing up was camping out, so not at all.

How would you describe love?
I think it’s immense friendship and immense comfort, and a lot of companionship.

A celebrity you last dreamt of...
This is really weird, but I dreamt of Rannvijay Singha. I was watching Roadies and I passed out while doing that and I was dreaming of him. It was hilarious!

A word for men who wear make-up?
Honestly, I want to tell them to calm the f**k down.

Complete this sentence. Men who takes selfies should be....
...Kept at a distance

If you had to act in the desi version of Fifty Shades Of Grey, who would you cast as Christian Grey?
Someone cast Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt on my show, I’ll go with that. I’ll produce the film.
