Ranveer Singh has undoubtedly created quite some buzz with his n*de photoshoot, for which the actor has also got booked by an NGO for hurting the sentiments of women.

Milind Soman On Ranveer Singh Getting Booked For His N*de Photoshoot
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times Milind said, “Nothing has changed because human beings don’t change. Since ancient times, people would have been talking about stuff that they like or don’t like. And there’s no time in history where everybody would have liked everything. So people would have objected. Even in the times when Khajuraho was carved, we love it today and we say it’s beautiful and part of Indian culture, but maybe some people objected. But the king liked it so it was there. And today, we hear everybody’s voice, not just the king’s. We think 20 years ago there was not so much noise, but that was because we could not hear people’s opinions, now we can because of the internet and social media. Today we can hear everybody’s voice.”
He further added, “If you look at Raja Ravi Varma, the famous Indian painter, there was a case against him more than a hundred years ago. And it was on similar lines, on what some people considered obscenity in his depiction of Indian women in his paintings. The same Indian law, because I don’t think that has changed very much either. There’s nothing else that is happening. People are talking, but people always talk. It’s just that nowadays we can hear everybody. That’s all.”
For the unversed, Milind himself has previously got booked for going n*de in a shoe advertisement which was shot in the year 1995, the actor and model has fought the case for almost 14 years. Talking about the same Milind said, “I won’t do that again. There was a case that went on for 14 years. The issue was the representation of women. It wasn’t that we were naked or not naked or whatever. It was about how women are represented. That was the major aspect of the case at that time, according to me. So there are various aspects of the law that deal with this subject. So we have to see which ones are relevant and if they are actually relevant. Because finally, you don’t want to do something that’s illegal.”
