After trying hard to make a foothold in Bollywood with a lot of skin show in films like 'Red Swastik' and 'Raqeeb: Rivals in Love', Sherlyn Chopra has finally changed gears.

Mumbai, Jan 17 (IANS) She has come out with an album titled 'Outrageous' to prove that she is much more than just an item girl.

'I feel I am more than just a good body and looks. I want people to realise that I have other talents too. I feel an album will not just give me creative freedom to express myself but I can learn a lot more from it,' she said.

'I did try the traditional way to get into movies. But I don't have a godfather so all the movies that were offered to me did not appeal to me.

'I was ambitious and hence made a few mistakes that in hindsight could have been avoided. I did a film that I realise did no good for my career. Hence now I'm more careful and choosy about what assignments I take up.'
