Grindr's faceless queer profiles are sporting a new DP—nude ... (ThePrint)

Ranveer Singh's devil-may-care attitude towards all actions challenging heteronormativity might explain his popularity among gay men, many from small towns.

A while ago, I found my short, straight friend wearing a pair of heeled boots and asked him if his family judged him for it. As a matter of fact, Ranveer Singh has set the record about his sexuality ‘straight’ but that hasn’t stopped him from being who he is—comfortable and secure in his own skin. From wearing high heels to gorgeous ghagras, he has shown that one can be straight, liberated of gender identities and still rule the Hindi cinema industry, which otherwise hasn’t witnessed a surge of LGBT+ celebrities coming out ever since Section 377 was scrapped for consenting adults.

OPINION: Why is Ranveer Singh's nude photoshoot a topic of ... (PINKVILLA)

It only happens in India. An FIR, a national debate- over an actor's personal choice!

People have problems with Ranveer when he wears clothes and now they have a problem when he is naked. Where is the outrage when under posts of women, in full clothes or naked, vulgar, disrespectful comments are written? There are no outrages when a girl is harassed in plain sight, why? All the furore over Ranveer Singh's pictures has made one point very clear, that in India, 'My Body, My Choice' is a far-fetched reality. It only happens in India when someone's ass becomes a topic of 'national debate'. Am I surprised? All hell broke loose in India, 'a land of culture' (as per the FIR again), after a picture that featured Ranveer's 'bum' went viral.

Ranveer Singh, unclad (The Indian Express)

Offence was taken at the sight of Singh's bare body, and two individuals — a lawyer and a person running an NGO — complaints with Mumbai police. Based on the ...

With the ambit of “offences” only growing bigger and wider — including a whole range of “misdeeds”, from nudity to scenes from decades-old films — it is up to the state and its instruments to ensure that one individual’s right to be offended does not impinge on others’ freedoms. This, too, has happened earlier: Shilpa Shetty found herself in court because at a 2007 event Richard Gere kissed her and the complainant felt that “she did not protest”. A case was registered against Soman in 2020 for sharing a photo of himself running in the nude on a beach in Goa. Twenty-five years before that, obscenity charges were slapped on Soman and fellow model Madhu Sapre for posing for an advertisement wearing only sneakers — it took 14 years for the duo to be acquitted. Offence was taken at the sight of Singh’s bare body, and two individuals — a lawyer and a person running an NGO — complaints with Mumbai police.

Ranveer Singh needs no controversy: Rozlyn Khan from viral PETA ... (Hindustan Times)

In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Rozlyn Khan opened up about her controversial photoshoots as she made her comeback in the song Aa Bhi Jaa.

I was a newbie and I have learned from my mistakes in the past. People have come to me and said, ‘Are you trying to change your image?’ People were surprised to see that I have screentime.” But I gave myself a break during the Covid. There was a period of time when I was sitting at home and doing nothing because I wanted to do something different. However, she believes that there’s a difference between how the audience perceive experimental shoots from a male and a female actor. “The difference was there before and it’s going to be there. That was the best thing I have done because it takes a lot of courage.

The FIR Against Ranveer Singh for 'Obscenity' is a Farce – Treat it ... (The Quint)

Ranveer Singh FIR: The photoshoot by Rnaveer Singh for Paper Mag does not violate Sections 292 and 509 of IPC on obscenity and insult to modesty of a woman ...

Flashing a woman would certainly meet that definition, but despite the attempt of the activist who was one of the complainants against Singh to say you can seen his private parts when you zoom in (raising more serious questions about why such detailed magnification was being sought), there is no frontal nudity in the images. It has to be remembered that even under old Hicklin Test regime, nudity in and of itself is not obscene. Singh makes no sexually suggestive gestures, is not wearing any clothing or tattoos that denigrate women, and nor does he make any comments in the interview or captions to the images, that say anything at all about women. Thanks to the internet, your name will go down for posterity in connection with this. The message and context of the images has to also be considered when deciding whether something was obscene. Because the truth is worth it.) The picture should be suggestive of deprave mind and designed to excite sexual passion in persons who are likely to see it, which will depend on the particular posture and the background in which the nude/semi-nude woman is depicted. Only those sex-related materials which have a tendency of “exciting lustful thoughts” can be held to be obscene, but the obscenity has to be judged from the point of view of an average person, by applying contemporary community standards." Play an active role in shaping our journalism by becoming a membe r. It is understandable why the case has generated heated discussion online, with those who filed the complaint facing flak for their decision to make Ranveer Singh's body a national issue. If there is to be a point to the media coverage of this case, it should perhaps be to point out the flaws in the Aveek Sarkar judgment, and remind the courts and the legislature of the need to do more to protect freedom of expression in this country. The Supreme Court also noted that in another 2007 case, when examining the scope of Section 292 of the IPC, it had held that "the commitment to freedom of expression demands that it cannot be suppressed, unless the situations created by it allowing the freedom are pressing and the community interest is endangered."
