Actor Shivam Patil, who made his debut with Nasha, says he is an actor and not a stripper.

The controversial film sees the actor do bold and steamy scenes with his co-star, Poonam Pandey. "If you are serious about your craft, you should be able to do everything. Be it bold, comic, dramatic or emotional, all scenes demand intensity and test you as an actor. In Nasha, there were many scenes that required me to break down and I was absolutely at ease doing them as well," he says.

Stating that he didn't strip for attention, all he did was to get into the skin of the role. He adds saying, that the film is realistic and performance driven which portrays the journey of today's youth.
