'Bigg Boss 14' contestant Pavitra Punia reveals she got 'offers of nude scenes' after 'Splitsvilla 3'

'Bigg Boss 14' contestant and television actor Pavitra Punia had begun her journey in the entertainment industry with 'Splitsvilla 3' after which she was offered several 'soft porn' projects, Pavitra said. The actor also added that she is not likely to do any projects that require her to do bold scenes. 

During an interview, elaborating on the same, Pavitra said, "After the reality show I would get offers of nude scenes. There are websites and movies made which have such bold content. If I say in other words it was soft porn. But we have been brought up in such families where till date we can’t watch kissing or lovemaking scenes with our parents. We feel awkward. We just get up and go somewhere," Hindustan Times quoted her saying. 

Pavitra further spoke about how her extended family was pretty conservative and took a while to accept her television appearances. 

"I realised that my family is not ready to see me on television and if they see me doing such bold content, they will be very hurt. And this is one thing (bold content) I feel I won’t be able to do that in my career. I feel I will have to gather a lot of courage to do such bold content and I know it is next to impossible. Hats off to people who do nude scenes," she said.

On the work front, Pavitra has been a part of popular serials such as 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein', 'Sasural Simar Ka', and 'Naagin 3'. While she did not win 'Bigg Boss 14, Pavitra found love in her co-contestant, actor Eijaz Khan.
