Ranveer Singh nude photoshoot: Hypocrisy dances naked

Ranveer Singh has always been open to intensity, versatility, and depth. And if one goes through the entire interview and not just the pictures, there is a lot that engages the mind.

Ranveer Singh

By Sakshi Verma

Before Thursday’s uproar in Parliament, the only topic that had been talked across the length and breadth of the country this week had been actor Ranveer Singh’s nude photoshoot. The outrage surrounding the shoot doesn’t seem to end anytime soon. From filing an FIR against him to calling his nude pictures a national issue, the media and people have had a variety of opinions on this matter.

Some people in Indore also organised a clothes donation camp for Ranveer to wear instead of baring it all. Yes, the news is a little stagnant these days. What more than a Bollywood actor known for his outlandish wit and unassuming self and married to Bollywood’s biggest woman star to foist the TRP bandwagon onto?

The inherent hypocrisy in the debate over Ranveer Singh’s all-too candid photoshoot is not lost on many. Yes, there have been many women actors who have shed clothes for nude photoshoots but why the fuss when a man does it? Did the men of the country get an inferiority complex on seeing the actor’s toned self? Despite the bodybuilding and fitness craze of the last few years, obesity in Indian men has stayed a constant. If you doubt it, please spend some time at your apartment complex’s ponds (I mean swimming pool) or at a public swimming facility and the sight of folds upon folds of adipose tissue crammed into swimming trunks is a sight that will leave you retching (carry a barf bag, for convenience).

Many other actors, male and female, have done nude photoshoots before too. Has India become numb to artistic expression (even if in the nude)?

Ranveer Singh has always been open to intensity, versatility, and depth. And if one goes through the entire interview and not just the pictures, there is a lot that engages the mind.

Firstly, the photoshoot was done for foreign magazine PAPER with Singh paying homage to American icon Burt Reynolds’ iconic 1972 shoot for Cosmopolitan. In the interview, the 36-year-old said, “It’s so easy for me to be physically naked. In fact, in some of my performances I’ve been damn naked. You can even see my soul. Now how naked is that? And for me, that’s being actually naked.” The publication even dubbed Ranveer as “the last Bollywood superstar”.

While some people in the country loved the photos and said that only Ranveer could have pulled this off, others are just trolling him. The actor has been facing a backlash for the past five days now. From being accused of hurting national sentiments to calling him of insufficient intellect, yes this is an approximation of horrendous politically incorrect words, people have done everything and still the outrage does not seem to end.

A couple in Mumbai, the wife’s a lawyer, have filed an FIR with Mumbai Police against Ranveer Singh for hurting the sentiments of women in general, and insulting their modesty and obscenity.

On the other hand, several Indian women actors have not only done nude photoshoots but have also been applauded for their bravery and what-not. From Sherlyn Chopra to Kiara Advani and Disha Patani they have shot nude pictures for Dabboo Ratnani’s calendar and were praised by tweeple. Male actors like Aamir Khan and Milind Soman have also done nude shoots.

Social media, which is meant for every user to broadcast their opinion, does end up feeding this mass of outrage and fake concern to keep our eyes from the real issues.

Whatever it maybe, the episode reeks of India’s twisted gender bias and moral policing. Ranveer Singh has shown us that hypocrisy can never be covered.

Aamir Khan to begin shooting in Delhi for Sitaare Zameen Par next month

Aamir Khan is gearing for the shooting of his next film, Sitaare Zameen Par

Published

Aamir Khan is getting ready for Sitaare Zameen Par, his upcoming film. The actor took a break following Lal Singh Chaddha‘s failure on the box office. The shooting of Sitare Zameen Par is reportedly set to start in Delhi the next month, in May.

Aamir Khan will be traveling to the national capital to shoot his upcoming film, according per a report. Aamir Khan will fly down to Delhi next month for Sitare Zameen Par‘s shoot, a source was quoted as saying. For the shooting of his film, he will travel to the capital with about 11 child actors. Other notable cast members will also be there; their specifics are still pending.

The schedule is set for one month, between May and June, the same source continued. For the shoot, the children will take part in a variety of Paralympic Games. Several locations in Delhi, such as Lal Qila, Purani Dilli, Lodhi Garden, and Thayagraj stadium, will be used for filming. They are filming it in several parts of Delhi since they don’t want all the youngsters to go to the NCR.

This film will make you laugh, it will entertain you, Aamir Khan said when he unveiled Sitare Zameen Par at an event following the box office failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. However, the topic remains the same (as Taare Zameen Par), which is why they have carefully considered their options for a similar name. They are carrying on this theme since although they all have shortcomings and flaws, they also all have something unique to offer. Those nine boys, who have their own problems, assisted him in Sitare Zameen Par, he added.

Darsheel Safary portrayed the dyslexic character Ishaan Awasthi in the film Taare Zameen Par, while Aamir Khan played the role of art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh, in the film. Taare Zameen Par was release in 2007 in December 21. With a global earnings of Rs 1.35 billion. The film was a commercial success.
