Actress Neetu Chandra has been moving around in a burqa these days, and she finds the experience "liberating".
The actress, seen in movies like "Traffic Signal", "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!" and "13B", has to travel in auto-rickshaws here these days since her car has gone for repair. It will take a fortnight for her to get her car back, but the over-enthusiastic reception from cab and auto drivers has forced Neetu to take refuge under the burqa.
"I'm enjoying the liberating experience of walking on the roads unrecognised," said Neetu.

"I think I will keep the burqa," she added.
