Baring
their
soul
before
the
camera
is
a
prerequisite
for
every
actor.
But
going
naked
in
front
of
it
may
not
be
everyone’s
cup
of
tea.
Still,
there
are
some
who
agree
to
bare
it
all
or
almost
for
the
sake
of
the
story
or
sensationalism.
One
recently
caught
a
fleeting
glimpse
of
Varun
Dhawan’s
bare
butt
in
his
OTT
debut,
Citadel:
Honey
Bunny,
which
had
the
amused
actor
respond.
That’s
the
tricky
bit
about
going
au
naturel
on
screen,
it’s
all
everyone
wants
to
talk
about
for
better
or
worse.
Sukanya
Verma
looks
at
some
bold
instances
of
Bollywood’s
beautiful
appearing
in
the
buff.
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Saawariya
Few
remember
the
movie
as
well
as
the
moment
Ranbir
dropped
his
towel
in
a
tantalising
moment
of
his
acting
debut,
Saawariya
showing
off
his
talent
and
tooshie
with
equal
gusto.
It
would
be
the
first
of
his
many
disrobed
avatars.
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Besharam,
Animal,
Sanju
Shots
of
Ranbir’s
butt
crack
under
the
shower
in
Besharam,
fully
monty
in
Sanju
and
slow
motion
streaking
of
a
man
losing
his
mind
in
Animal
reiterate
the
extent
of
an
actor
comfortable
in
his
own
skin.
Aamir
Khan,
PK
Ever
the
perfectionist,
Aamir
performed
the
alien
arriving
on
earth
sans
any
clothes
in
his
birthday
suit.
Initially
though,
he
tried
to
do
the
sequence,
which
required
him
to
chase
a
man,
wearing
a
pair
of
modesty
camouflaging
shorts
but
decided
to
go
for
the
final
cut
without
anything
on
to
make
it
appear
truly
convincing.
Rajkummar
Rao,
Love
Sex
Aur
Dhoka,
Shahid,
Omerta
Working
on
scenes
of
intense
sex
and
torture
required
Rajkummar
to
shed
his
inhibitions
to
an
extreme
degree.
And
the
only
reason
he
was
able
to
overcome
his
nervousness
is
his
faith
in
the
film-makers
at
helm
(Dibakar
Banerjee,
Hansal
Mehta)
known
for
their
artistic
aesthetic.
Ranveer
Singh,
Befikre
Whether
he’s
shaking
his
bare
butt
to
assert
his
playful
character
in
Befikre
or
stripping
for
a
magazine
cover,
Ranveer’s
madcap
persona
is
ever
willing
to
embrace
its
wildest
impulses
much
to
the
moral
police’s
chagrin.
John
Abraham,
New
York
Playing
a
victim
of
racial
profiling
as
an
Asian
immigrant
in
post-9/11
America,
John’s
character
goes
through
a
whole
lot
of
torture
and
trauma
behind
bars.
Kabir
Khan’s
unrelenting
documentation
of
it
as
well
as
John’s
no-holds
barred
participation
adds
to
the
impact
of
his
living
nightmare.
Rajshri
Deshpande,
Sacred
Games
Rajshri
grabbed
quite
a
few
eyeballs
with
her
topless
fervour
as
part
of
Sacred
Games‘
torrid
lovemaking
sequences.
‘When
I
did
the
scenes,
I
wasn’t
aiming
at
a
particular
impact.
It
was
what
the
character
Subhadra
and
the
situation
demanded.
Since
I
had
faith
in
my
director
Anurag
Kashyap,
I
didn’t
hesitate
even
for
a
minute
in
saying
‘yes’,
she
shared
with
Rediff.com.
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh,
Jail
Although
the
private
bits
got
blurred
out
in
the
final
edit,
Neil
had
no
qualms
about
performing
frontal
nudity
in
Madhur
Bhandarkar’s
Jail,
which
revolves
around
a
wrongly
convicted
man’s
experience
doing
time
in
prison.
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
Kurbaan
There’s
much
hue
and
cry
whenever
a
mainstream
leading
lady
engages
in
skin
show.
Expectedly
political
parties
and
the
moral
police
didn’t
take
too
well
to
the
focus
on
Kareena’s
‘topless’
allusions
or
intimate
scenes
with
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
Kurbaan.
One
protestor
even
draped
a
sari
around
her
poster.
Simi
Garewal,
Siddhartha
Back
in
1972
when
demure
was
the
desi
way,
Simi’s
bare
torso
and
Khajuraho-inspired
sex
scenes
with
Shashi
Kapoor
in
Conrad
Rooks’
adaptation
of
Hermann
Hesse’s
novel
attracted
both
eyeballs
and
controversy
for
its
content.
Indian
censors
didn’t
take
kindly
to
its
provocative
imagery,
which
continues
to
be
the
most
talked
about
aspect
of
this
Indo-American
collaboration.
Rishi
Kapoor,
Bobby
Years
before
Ranbir
Kapoor
doffed
his
hat,
rather,
dropped
his
towel
as
a
nod
to
his
dad’s
adult
debut
Bobby,
Rishi
Kapoor
showed
off
his
fearless
presence
and
posterior
in
front
of
the
camera
with
nothing
except
a
towel
on
his
shoulder
for
the
Raj
Kapoor
directed
romance.
Zeenat
Aman,
Satyam
Shivam
Sundaram
Raj
Kapoor’s
weakness
for
erotic
visuals,
wherein
his
voluptuous,
scantily
clad
leading
lady
would
often
find
herself
under
a
waterfall
in
transparent
saree,
became
the
talking
point
of
his
purported
social
dramas.
Be
it
Zeenat
Aman’s
partially
disfigured
village
belle
in
Satyam
Shivam
Sundaram,
which,
ironically
talks
about
inner
beauty
prevailing
over
the
physical.
Mandakini,
Ram
Teri
Ganga
Maili
Or
Mandakini’s
shower
in
the
mountains
draped
in
a
blouse
free,
barely
there
chiffon
sari
leaving
little
to
imagination.
Her
lack
of
talent
ensured
she
would
never
live
down
that
image.
Padmini
Kolhapure,
Geharayee
A
teenage
Padmini
Kolhapure
stars
as
a
possessed
schoolgirl
undergoing
an
exorcism
ritual,
which
requires
her
to
be
butt
naked
for
a
sequence
of
the
Aruna-Vikas
directed
1980
horror.
Considering
she
was
a
minor
at
time
of
filming
renders
it
both
controversial
and
creepy.
