In 2022, Ranveer Singh broke the internet after posing nude for Paper magazine. The actor faced a lot of backlash for the shoot from across the country. Recently, Aashiqui actor Anu Aggarwal was asked about Ranveer’s photoshoot in an interview with Bollywood Bubble. She also recalled her experience with a topless scene in a film, which she described as "not a big deal."
Anu Aggarwal backs Ranveer Singh
When asked about Ranveer's daring photoshoot for Paper magazine, Anu expressed her support and said, "I think it is all good. A man, an actor needs to be daring. I think we cross our barriers as actors when we do such things... not just getting nude or naked, but also being able to cry openly in front of the camera."
Anu recalls her topless movie scene
Anu recalled her topless scene in the 1994 short film The Cloud Door and said: "When I heard the script, this (scene) was not part of the script. When asked to do the bold scene during the shooting, I said no. I was shocked, I said 'What do you mean?' The issue was not the scene, or that I could not do it, the issue was that it was never a part of the script and I was not informed earlier... a month after the shoot wrapped up, I started questioning myself for refusing the scene. Then I was like 'It was unethical, they should have informed me when they offered me the script'. Being topless in public is not something everyone does, it is a different thing... eventually we did shoot the topless scene but I felt really bad about how it all went down as people lack ethics. I took it on as a challenge, and my family, especially my mom, was very supportive... being topless is not a big deal, when we can show people killing, hating each other in films."
