Popular
television
personality
and
actress
Mandira
Bedi
must
have
been
paid
a
hefty
amount
for
posing
topless
for
Vogue
magazine
but
it
could
do
more
harm
than
good
to
her
profession.
In
fact,
it
could
change
the
image
that
she
has
earned
with
her
energetic
and
path-breaking
of
sort
cricket
commentary.
Mandira
surely
doesn"t
need
the
kind
of
publicity
that
she
has
got
from
her
topless
photo
shoot
because
she
is
already
a
household
name.
Not
long
ago,
people
even
glued
to
the
small
screens
long
after
a
cricket
match
is
over
just
to
have
a
glimpse
of
her.
Besides
television
assignments,
her
clean
and
vibrant
image
earned
her
some
endorsements.
But
unfortunately,
her
topless
photo
shoot
for
the
Vogue
magazine
could
change
her
image
and
the
public
perception.
It
could
even
cost
television
assignments
and
certain
endorsements
that
demand
certain
image.
Posing
topless
is
not
a
big
deal
in
the
West
but
it"s
not
the
same
in
India.
Most
Indians
are
still
conservative
at
heart,
so
topless
photo
becomes
too
much
to
take
for
many.
Moreover,
her
protective
fans
wouldn"t
like
to
see
her
this
way.
Considering
these
facts,
Mandira
could
have
avoided
exposing
so
much,
at
least
for
her
fans
if
not
for
herself.
