'Aisi ladkiyon ko..': Pavitra Punia blames projection of nudity onscreen for growing rape cases

Pavitra Punia, known for her stint in shows like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Balveer, Bigg Boss 14 and more recently shared her views on the projection of nudity onscreen and called it unnecessary. The Bigg Boss 14 fame also blamed the same for the growing rape cases in India and speaks about how certain scenes are absolutely unnecessary.

Speaking to Telly Masala about the same, Pavitra adds how women are unsafe not just on the streets but in the industry too. The actress says, ''Unko aisa lagta hai chalo isne 2 smooch scenes kar liye phir toh button hi khulwa do. Jis ladki ko onscreen kisi ne aise karte huye dekh liya usko koi bahu beti ki nazar se nahi dekhne wala hai. Toh yeh jo, even jo rapists are growing, this is happening because of this, 'screen.' Hum ne nahi dekha Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan ko aise karte huye, aur agar karte bhi thhe toh usme ek masumiyat hoti thi. Un actresses ko koi hawas bhari nazaro se nahi dekhta tha. Toh jab aap khud hi pradarshan karwate ho chizo ka aise aur kehte ho crime rate itna badh gaya hai, arre dikhana bandh kar do, uski log kaise izzat karenge? Aap agar ek smooch ka scene nahi daaloge toh kya aapki picture nahi chalegi?''

The actress also spoke about how she refused to do a web series 2 years ago and said, ''Not at all. Agar ye kaam karne hote toh abhi tak toh main chaa jaati, kitna kaam chhodti hoon main. Abhi 2 saal pehle hi maine itna acha project chhoda tha because unka requirement tha ke sirf lingerie mein, end mein woh apne sare kapde utaar rahi hai aur mirror ke saamne khade ho kar dekh rahi hai and suddenly they added some intimate scene also. Phir main boli, nahi hoga.''
