Screaming affair

Neha Dhupia couldn't be happier with her newfound Hollywood glory as Bollywood Hero, an American TV series in which the actress plays a B-town star, has received rave reviews in the US -- even The Incredible Hulk actor Ed Norton was impressed with her acting skills.

It's another thing, however that Dhupia took a while to recognize Norton. The actress reveals, "After the premiere of the show, when the lights came on, I saw Ed Norton sitting with me and I screamed! He said `hello' and complimented me, and I screamed again. He said, `I'm not that scary that you scream every time I ask you anything'. That was my Ed Norton moment."

With her pictures up on billboards in Times Square, Dhupia has become quite a known face in Hollywood.

She recounts, "I was taking a taxi in New York and saw that the top of it had my picture... I couldn't stop gaping and said [to the driver]: `that's me on the top'...he came out to look and said `yes, that's you'. I didn't have to pay a dollar for the taxi ride."
