Actor Ranveer Singh's nude photoshoot has gained a political turn, commenting on the shoot SP leader Abu Azmi said if nudity is acceptable in the name of ‘art’ and ‘freedom’, then why is wearing of hijab by Muslim women under Islamic norms considered ‘oppressive’ and ‘discriminatory’.
“If exhibiting your bare body is called art and freedom, then, why, on the other hand, if a girl wants to cover her body with the hijab according to her culture, it is termed as oppression and religious discrimination,” Azmi wrote.
Bengali actor and politician Mimi Chakraborty also shared her thoughts on the photoshoot, which has created stir on social media, the actress wrote “Internet broke with Ranveer Singh's latest photoshoot and comments were (fire emojis) mostly. Just wondering if the appreciation would have been same if this were a woman. Or would you have burned her house down, taken up morchas, given her a death threat and slut shamed her.”
