My
Point
Of
View
I
am
not
naive
about
my
own
profession;
it
is
one
that
requires
lots
of
demanding
things
of
me.
A
character
may
demand
that
I
be
clothed
from
head
to
toe
or
be
completely
naked,
and
it
will
be
my
choice
as
an
actor
whether
or
not
I
take
either.
Understand
that
this
is
a
ROLE
and
not
REAL,
and
it
is
my
job
to
portray
whatever
character
I
choose
to
play
convincingly.
My
Point
Of
View
What
my
concern
is
and
I
am
stating
it
clearly
so
it
is
not
misconstrued
or
confused
with
Shahrukh's
8-pack
or
any
other
woman's
or
man's
anatomy.
I
have
spoken
out
against
an
ideology
that
such
regressive
tactics
are
still
being
employed
to
draw
a
reader's
attention
at
a
time
when
we
are
striving
for
women's
equality
and
empowerment.
In
a
time
where
women
should
be
applauded
for
making
headway
in
a
male-dominated
society,we
blur
the
lines
between
REEL
and
REAL
life
and
dilute
all
our
efforts
by
making
a
one-year
old
back
sliding
piece
of
news
a
headline.
My
Point
Of
View
Digging
out
an
old
article
and
headlining
it
"OMG:
Deepika's
Cleavage
Show!"
to
attract
readers
is
using
the
power
of
influence
to
proliferate
recessive
thought.
When
an
actresses
inner
wear
decides
to
do
a
"peek-a-boo",she
most
definitely
did
not
step
out
with
the
intention
to
do
so.So
instead
of
zooming
in,circling
it
and
pointing
arrows
at
it,why
don't
we
give
her
some
'respect' and
let
it
go
instead
of
making
it
'headlines'!?
Are
we
not
human?Yes
we
marvel,envy
and
drool
over
a
male
actors
8pack
abs
in
a
film,but
do
we
zoom
in
on
the
mans
'crotch'
when
he
makes
a
public
appearance
and
make
that
'cheap
headlines'??!!
My
Point
Of
View
I
have
no
issue
celebrating
my
body
and
I
have
never
shied
away
from
anything
on-screen
to
portray
a
character.
In
fact
my
next
character
portrayed
is
a
bar
dancer
(sorry
Farah
for
the
spoiler!)
who
titillates
men
as
a
means
to
support
her
livelihood.
My
issue
is
you
propagating
the
objectification
of
a
REAL
person,and
not
a
character
being
played.
Sure,dissect
my
characters
if
you
wish-if
it
is
of
so
much
interest
then
discuss
the
character's
cup
size
and
leg
length
if
it
is
relevant
to
making
the
role
convincing.
All
I
am
asking
for
is
respect
as
a
woman
off-screen.
My
Point
Of
View
It
is
not
about
breasts,penises,or
any
other
body
part
being
reported.It
is
a
matter
of
context
and
how
out-of-context
the
reportage
is
just
to
sell
a
headline.
And
more
so
during
a
time
in
dire
need
of
an
attitude
shift
towards
women.
My
Point
Of
View
For
me
this
topic
ends
here.Everyone
is
entitled
to
an
opinion.I
have
little
interest
to
take
this
further
as
it
might
get
more
attention
than
it
deserves
and
might
be
further
misconstrued
and
twisted
to
sell
more
undeserved
headlines.
My
Point
Of
View
Having
said
that,please
may
we
show
love,dignity
and
respect
to
each
other.
Live
well,
laugh
often
and
love
much.
