“I have become the first Indian to pose naked for Playboy and nobody can
take away that achievement from me,” she said.
“My sister is proud of my achievement. I haven’t told anything to my
mother, but I think I will visit her and tell her that she has to accept me
the way I am.” Critics have complained that the magazine has billed her
as a Bollywood legend, despite only appearing in a handful of films and
being best known for Bigg Boss, India’s answer to Big Brother.
Columnists have dismissed her as a C-list actress while others have laid a
more serious charge, pointing that India is already struggling to control an
epidemic of sex crimes.
“At a time when innocent women across the nation from Gujarat to Guwahati
have been subjected to sexual abuse and humiliation, one wonders if Sherlyn
Chopra’s pictures wound a woman’s integrity,” wrote blogger Gayatri
Sankar.
“Isn’t it an irony that on the one side as common women strive hard to
safeguard their modesty, the Sherlyn Chopras encourage voyeurism?”
