Recently, Neetu Chandra and model Krishika Gupta were shooting for the cover of men’s magazine The Man at a Juhu Hotel. The crowd at the hotel objected and shut down the shoot. But the pictures are out and the magazine is all set to hit stands later this week.The regular male customers of the hotel started raising objections, saying that the shoot promoted lesbianism and shouting, ‘Jai Maharashtra’. They got aggressive and began physically harming the crew of the magazine. They threatened the crew by alleging they had connections with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. That is when the shooting was wrapped up for the sake of the safety of the crew and the models.
Neetu says, “Though the concept about two girls getting very intimate was a bit outrageous, we were doing it very aesthetically. But these men were a frustrated lot and couldn’t take the heat. They only saw nudity in our concept.”
The actress explains, “First they tried to seek my attention with smiles and stares, so I acknowledged them. But as I went on with my work, the whole group of men suddenly started feeling ignored and began creating a scene. They did manage to scare me when they started to politicise the issue and screamed communal slogans. That was when we had to stop the shoot.”
