Apurva Asrani's post comes after his Thursday`s contention on the microblogging site where he spoke about how our society and the netizens responded differently to Poonam Pandey and Milind Soman's partly nude and nude photos respectively.
Launching a fresh attack on those who react differently to the ways of men and women, and are gender-biased especially when it comes to nudity, film editor and screenplay writer Apurva Asrani on Friday, took to his Twitter handle to express his views on the matter and state that "our women are labelled sluts if they go nude, men are not."
On Friday, taking to his verified Twitter handle, the film editor wrote, "Our women are labelled sluts if they go nude. Men are not. Actresses who `bare` are branded sex-sirens for life, rarely reaching respectable positions like Madhuri and Sridevi. Male actors though, get away with sex 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 the netizens responded differently to Poonam Pandey and Milind Soman's partly nude and nude photos respectively.
"#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," Apurva had observed in his earlier tweet.
On Wednesday, actor-fitness enthusiast Milind posted a nude photo 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 some memes in goodnatured jest.
Milind shared the image and wrote, "Happy birthday to me! 55 and running."
On the other 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 this week, which sparked protests in 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 Penal Code, she was arrested in North Goa on November 5. Poonam however, was granted bail on Friday.
