Ever since Ritwik Bhattacharya, India's ace squash player, accompanied Neha Dhupia to a function in Dubai, Neha's phone has been ringing incessantly.

Everyone wants to know whether I am seeing Ritwik. We have known each other for the last 10 years," says Neha. So is she seeing him? Neha freezes for a moment, and then smiles, "Frankly, these rumours have been on for years now.

In school, and then in college too, everyone used to ask me if we were an item. And now, it's the rest of the world. Ritwik's an adorable guy, and we are very good friends. But apart from that, I don't want to say anything just now," says Neha.

Clearly, Neha wants to change the topic. Does she still believe in her famous statement that only sex and SRK sell in Bollywood? "That statement keeps coming back to me.

And now people expect me to make a statement like that all the time," she laughs, but continues, "I think it is still true.

SRK is very much there, on the top, looking as sexy as ever, and all you've got to do is look at Bollywood films being made to corroborate the second part." But is she off bikinis? "Yes, I am in a transition phase. I am moving from bikinis to bindis in my career."
