Ranveer Singh has created a lot of buzz with his recent nude photoshoot for Paper magazine. While many celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Lilly Singh, Manish Malhotra and Alia Bhatt have applauded the actor for his bold move, many others are not so happy about it.
In fact, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) and a woman lawyer have filed separate complaints against the actor with Mumbai Police. The complaints have claimed that Ranveer Singh’s nude photos have hurt the sentiments of women.
Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that Ranveer Singh is actually not the first celebrity in the world to pose nude for the camera. Actually, he is also not the first Indian celebrity to do so. In the past decades, despite all the societal norms against them, many Indian stars have shed their clothes for the camera.
Milind Soman & Madhu Sapre
Who can forget the iconic photo of Milind Soman and Madhu Sapre in 1995? The two models were seen posing naked together with a python wrapped around them. That is not all. Milind Soman gave solo nude shots as well, which still has the fans abuzz.
Bipasha Basu
Bipasha is one such actor known for her bold and elegant charm. She was seen posing topless for the cover of the international magazine Maxim in 2011. Her sultry eyes and sensuous curves had everyone swooning.
Pooja Bedi
Known for her steamy scenes in Bollywood movies, Pooja Bedi’s nude shoot for Kamasutra Condom advertisements was the cause of great controversy in the 1990s. The said ads were banned by the country’s official broadcaster Doordarshan.
Aamir Khan
Everyone was shocked to see the first posters of Aamir Khan’s movie ‘PK’, as the actor was seen in his birthday suit. Khan is known for his elegant and poised personality, with a need to achieve perfection in his work. The fans had never expected to see something like this from the star!
