Ranveer Singh stole all the attention in the last couple of days with his nude photoshoot for a magazine. He was trolled vehemently, he got praise for his boldness, netizens shared memes on him and whatnot - he was just all over the news.
Recently, one Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in the Calcutta High Court. It requested the court to order the West Bengal government and the authorities involved to seize all printed copies of an issue of the Paper magazine (published on July 23, 2022), that featured Ranveer Singh’s nude photo as the cover image.
Advocate Nazia Ilahi Khan filed the case alleging the cover pic is ‘obscene as per the opinion of the public at large.’ It also claimed that the picture of the Bajirao Mastani actor ‘deprave the mind of the public at large in West Bengal, especially of minors’ and so it should not be circulated among all. The petition also asked to block the magazine’s website in the state (West Bengal).
Before this, an NGO in Mumbai’s Chembur filed a complaint claiming the pictures outraged the modesty of women. Chembur police registered an FIR (First Information Report) against Ranveer Singh for posting those photographs on social media.
Ranveer shared his thoughts earlier regarding nudity. In an interview with Paper magazine, he said, “It’s so easy for me to be physically naked, but in some of my performances I’ve been damn fucking naked. You can see my f*** soul. How naked is that? That’s being naked. Actually, I can be naked in front of a thousand people, I don’t give a shit. It’s just that they get uncomfortable.”
On the work front, Ranveer most recently appeared in Netflix's interactive special Ranveer vs Wild with Bear Grylls. He wrapped filming for Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani as well. In Rohit Shetty's Cirkus, he will star alongside Jacqueline Fernandez and Pooja Hegde. It will be released this Christmas.
