Actors update: Women are labeled sl**s if they are going nude, men aren't Apurva Asrani on Poonam Pandey, Milind Soman photos
Apurva Asrani's post comes after his Thursday`s contention on the
microblogging site where he spoke about how our society and therefore the
netizens responded differently to Poonam Pandey and Milind Soman's partly nude
and nude photos respectively.
Launching a fresh attack on those that react differently to the ways of men
and ladies, and are gender-biased especially when it involves nudity, film
editor and screenplay writer Apurva Asrani on Friday, took to his Twitter
handle to precise his views on the matter and state that "our women are
labeled sluts if they are going nude, men are not."
#PoonamPandey & #MilindSoman both stripped down to their birthday suits in #Goa recently. Pandey partly, Soman completely. Pandey is in legal trouble--for obscenity. Soman is being lauded for his fit body at age 55. I guess we are kinder to our nude men than to our nude women. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/qQ9UFQIYXJ

On Friday, taking to his verified Twitter handle, the film editor wrote, "Our
women have labeled sluts if they are going nude. Men aren't. Actresses who
`bare` are branded s*x-sirens for all times, rarely reaching respectable positions like Madhuri and Sridevi. Male actors though, escape with s*x scenes
and hairy-chest titillation. Face it. We are a sexist society."
His post comes after his Thursday`s contention on the microblogging site where
he spoke about how our society and therefore the netizens responded
differently to Poonam Pandey and Milind Soman's partly nude and nude photos
respectively.
"#PoonamPandey & #MilindSoman both stripped right down to their birthday
suits in #Goa recently. Pandey partly, Soman completely. Pandey is in legal
trouble--for obscenity. Soman is being lauded for his fit body at age 55. I
assume we are kinder to our nude men than to our nude women," Apurva had
observed in his earlier tweet.
On Wednesday, actor-fitness enthusiast Milind posted a nude photo of himself
on his Instagram handle, running nude on a Goa beach. The occasion Milind was celebrating was his 55th birthday. The post was flooded with comments praising
the star for his fit body and a few memes in goodnatured jest.
Milind shared the image and wrote, "Happy birthday to me! 55 and running."
On the opposite hand, an FIR was filed against Poonam for shooting an "obscene
video" on a Goa beach recently. In fact, a police inspector was suspended on
Thursday following outrage over actor Poonam`s controversial photoshoot at a
restricted dam site in South Goa.
Photos from the provocative shoot featuring Pandey, held at the Chapoli dam in
Canacona sub-district had gone viral earlier in the week, which sparked
protests within the area, with ruling and opposition party members staging a
protest on Thursday, demanding action against police officials permitting the
shoot.
After an FIR was filed against Poonam under section 294 (obscenity) of the
Indian legal code, she was arrested in North Goa on November 5. Poonam
however, was granted bail on Friday.
