No more sex for Gurmeet Choudhary

Not on screen, that is. I am so done with erotic thrillers, sighs television s favourite blue-eyed boy Gurmeet Choudhary who rose to fame playing the Hindu mythological god Lord Rama on the small screen.

Last year Gurmeet the poster-boy for wholesome family values shocked his fans with his multiple deep-throat kissing and simulated copulation in two back-to-back thrillers.

Gurmeet admits he got a lot of flak for turning sexy. Not that I disown those films. For an outsider like me I am from Bihar getting into Bollywood is still an ordeal. Making a name for myself on television was easier than finding a place in Bollywood. So when Bhatt Saab (Mukesh Bhatt) and Bhushan Kumarji offered me Khamoshiyan and Wajah Tum Ho, I took them up without a second thought.

However Gurmeet s fans reacted negatively to his erotic overtures. I received a lot of flak for doing what I did. My next release Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana is a sweet simple family film the kind that Sooraj Barjatya did with Salman Khan.

Gurmeet wants to take forward Salman s image of Prem in Barjatya s film. I am not claiming to be Lord Rama or Salman Khan. But I want to project the hero in the mould of Maryada Puroshhotam Rama, the way Salman Khan did in Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Hum Saath Saath Hain.
