From the hallowed halls of MSU to the tinsel town - was that an accident or a calculated step? “I was never interested in Bollywood. I have done movies because they came on my way,” claimed the dusky beauty that captured eyeballs not only on the ramp, but also on the silver screen.

Yes, we talking about non else but our very own Nethra Raghuraman, who's hot, who's happening and who's also very very Gujarati. “Yes, I too believe to be one of Gujarat as I have stayed in Baroda and completed my honours in industrial psychology from MSU,” Nethra gushed.

Afterhrs caught up with this sexy lady in Ahmedabad on Tuesday to know what goes into making the model designers adore. “Oh, I love doing all different stuffs such as item songs, hosting shows and modelling,” Nethra confided, adding, “And I always love to do something new.”

Apart from having intelligent and well-read, the gorgeous looks won the lady several beauty pageants besides being part of most of the happening ramp shows globally. A winner of the 'best female newcomer' title for her work in Bhopal Express, Nethra, to her credit, has already worked with big names including Shyam Benegal, Gulzar, Govind Nihalani and Mani Rathnam.

When asked if winning is her forté, the lady who had also been the winner of the reality show, 'Khataron Ke Khiladi' hosted by Akshay Kumar, looked visibly astounded. “I thought I would be out from the show right on the day one itself.” But we know that her grit won her the crown. So, which was the toughest stunt?  “Although it was a tough ride all throughout, the scariest was walking on glass walls at a great height. But, I believe, life is too short. Experience change, accept it and enjoy,” the beauty with brains concludes with a smile.
