Sherlyn Chopra asked to stay mum about Playboy mag release date
Sherlyn Chopra has been asked to keep her mouth shut by editors of American magazine Playboy, it has been revealed.
The diva, who is the first Indian woman to feature on the cover of the magazine, has been instructed to keep "mum" about the release date of the magazine, which has already been "delayed."
The issue with Chopra on the cover was earlier scheduled to hit stores by November, but that did not happen.
Many of her anxious fans recently took to Twitter to ask the bombshell when the issue is coming out.
"Ya'll ask me each day about the release date of my PLAYBOY Cover. I truly wish I could reveal it to you. I've been asked to keep mum about it," the 28-year-old model tweeted in reply.
"PLAYBOY has super grand plans pertaining to the unveiling of my cover. Uncommon Chutzpah shall soon be served with Phenomenal Excellence," she tweeted, as she asked her fans to have patience.

Supermodel Bar Refaeli -- one of the most in-demand bikini models -- posted a topless photo of herself on her Twitter account on Monday.
Leonardo DiCaprio's former girlfriend had last posted a candid snap of herself during a painful-looking dental examination.
The photograph features the former Sports Illustrated model topless, while submerged in water, with the caption, "Watch your back!"
In the black and white image, Rafaeli can be seen from behind wearing nothing but a checkered string bikini bottom -- with visible tan lines -- as she coyly holds her triangle top, the Daily Mail reported.
She also posted a mysterious picture of herself with five small children, and wrote: "Can u think of a better day to start the day?"

Kate Upton, who has appeared in pin-ups for US Vogue twice, has scored a photoshoot for the magazine's British edition.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model has been picked by British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman to star on the cover of the style bible's January 2013 issue, the Telegraph reported.
"When I decided to shoot Kate for our first cover of 2013, it was to kick off the year with a young woman who is not a stereotypical fashion model -- although, let's face it, she's hardly a heffalump!" Shulman wrote in her editor's letter.
Indeed, 20-year-old Upton's physique doesn't make her an obvious candidate for a high fashion role: at 5'10" and with a generous 34C chest, her hips are some two-and-a-half inches wider than that other famous Kate -- Moss.
"It's very rare for a girl; to move from one area of the business to the other, largely due to the fact that fashion models are almost without curves, whereas swimwear girls are celebrated for them," Shulman added.
'Cash-strapped' LiLo selling off designer clothes to secondhand store

Lindsay Lohan has turned to selling off her extensive wardrobe of designer clothes in a bid to raise funds, according to reports.
The Liz & Dick star has apparently been sending her little sister Ali to hawk her wares to the popular Wasteland store in Los Angeles that specialises in second hand threads, TMZ.com reported.
An eyewitness told Radar Online that the 18-year-old, who apparently had a significantly larger bust than previously, turned up to the shop with bags stuffed full of items.
She then tried to broker a deal with the manager of the establishment, but was disappointed after being offered far less than she anticipated.
Ali reportedly shouted: "Thirty dollars for these? They cost 700 dollars! This is ridiculous!"
The wannabe singer then tried to haggle for the items, which included a pair of round-toe Chanel pumps and a Balenciaga purse.
Ali even tried to change her bartering tactics, arguing that because her infamous sister had worn them on red carpets and at photoshoots they are worth extra.
"These have to be worth more, Lindsay was photographed wearing them, that has to add value," she said.
As the manager refused to move the price, she left with significantly less cash than hoped for.

Anne Hathaway has revealed that her obsession with being thin is a source of "shame" and that she constantly worries about her body.
"I still feel the stress over 'Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?'" ABC News quoted her as saying during an interview with Glamour Magazine.
"There's an obsessive quality to it that I thought I would've grown out of by now. It's an ongoing source of shame for me," she said.
Hathaway lost 25 pounds for the film version of Les Miserables, which comes out December 25.
In an interview with Allure earlier this year, the 29-year-old actress said that she subsisted on a 500-calorie diet of radishes and hummus to play tuberculosis-ridden prostitute Fantine.
