Strangely we Indians can't seem to go beyond flesh.

Shahrukh khan to Host IIPM 4Ps Annual Business and Marketing Quiz

But the nude scene in “Rang Rasiya” is at the core of the film. It was my family who clinched the matter for me. When I told them about the nude scene they supported me completely. Otherwise I was very reluctant to do it. Now I'm proud of the fact that I did it. My character, Sugandha, was the first pin-up girl in India. All the calendar art became available to people because printing came into being at the same time when Sugandha posed for Ravi Varma. People actually could bring images of goddesses home. At the same time she got ostracised for what she did. She was truly a trendsetter. And playing her, I became a trendsetter by doing our first nude scene.

But based on current reaction, it would seem to be a disturbing trend to set, wouldn’t it?
All over the world, the greatest directors use actors and actresses in the nude in completely non-gratuitous ways. Strangely we Indians can't seem to go beyond flesh. Ironically Ravi Raja Varma was taken to court for painting a nude. Today 130 years later the same issue seems to have come up. People want to know why the face of a girl who's seen in the nude should be superimposed on a goddess. So, are we - I and the director Ketan Mehta - going to be ostracised in the same way that Ravi Raja Varma and Sugandha were 130 years ago?
