Back in 2022, the nude photoshoot of Ranveer Singh for an overseas magazine caused a major stir across the nation and several complaints were lodged against the actor. Not too long ago, actor Anu Aggarwal opened up about the same in an interview with Bollywood Bubble and spoke of a bold scene she once did for her 1994 short film The Cloud Door.

Anu Aggarwal discussed her scene in The Cloud Door where she was topless. Aggarwal's role in the 1990 movie Aashiqui is what made her most famous. She revealed, "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."

Anu responded to a question regarding Ranveer Singh's bold photo shoot for Paper magazine, "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."

Ranveer Singh made headlines earlier this year in July 2022 when he appeared in a paper magazine while completely nude. He posed with an air of confidence that had never been seen before. The reactions to the pictures were swift and dramatic: on the one hand, a lot of people praised Jaffar as a brave man; on the other hand, calls for his arrest due to alleged indecency were received, along with complaints about his modesty from both police officers.

Anu Aggarwal and Ranveer Singh both keep pushing the limits of artistic expression despite the criticism, questioning social conventions and promoting candid discussions regarding the representation of daring material in the media.
