Who really knew, a photoshoot of a Bollywood actor would become national news. The internet went into a frenzy when Ranveer Singh posed nude for Paper magazine recently. While there were trolls, a majority of them were in awe of the actor for his confidence. In times when actresses have been a victim of cyber bullying and incessant trolling for their sartorial choices or rather bold photos on social media, Ranveer Singh has received more love than hate for his ostentatious and audacious photoshoot.
Actress Sreejita De, who made news recently for her engagement with her German beau, feels how people are hypocrites in a way. 'I'm not sure how the reaction would have been if it was a female superstar who'd attempted such a bold photoshoot but having said that it was a really gutsy thing to do. It is something to feel comfortable in your own skin. It is something to be in love with yourself, to put yourself out there without any fear of judgements. Shakti Kapoor, Jackie Shroff did it too back in early 90s and suddenly everyone started playing safe. What he did was inspiring."
'I find it hard to understand how invested we are in everyone's business. I saw someone file a case against the actor on grounds of nudity, not surprising I'd say. But it is 2022, if you have a good body, if you are comfortable and also have the guts, then why not. I'd probably do it too. Why is it hard to understand the concept of My life, my rules. The subject here is not to cry foul if a woman is not given the same treatment as a man in showbiz, the question is why do we judge, why is it any of our business what we choose to do with our social media, wear clothes or not. I really mean, if I could, I definitely would," Sreejita quips.
