In
the
film
Strangers,
presented
by
Sahara
One's
Motion
Picture
Sonali
Kulkarni
has
done
the
unimaginable.
Sonali
Kulkarni
who
has
always
got
this
girl
next
door
image,
has
shed
her
inhibition
and
has
dared
to
shoot
semi
nude
in
a
bath
tub.
Sonali
Kulkarni
thus
joins
the
gang
of
Bollywood
damsels
like
Mallika
Sherawat,
Neha
Dhupia&Kareena
Kapoor's
controversial
backless
shot
in
their
respective
films.
According
to
a
sources
in
the
Strangers
unit,
director
Anand
Rai
felt
that
it
was
a
very
emotional
scene
in
a
bath
tub,
and
it
was
essential
for
the
scene
to
be
shot.
He
had
also
informed
Sonali
about
the
semi-nude
scene
since
it
was
an
integral
part
of
the
film.
Initially
he
was
a
bit
apprehensive
if
Sonali
Kulkarni
would
do
the
scene
but
to
his
surprise,
Sonali
being
very
professional
and
accommodating
agreed
to
expose,
since
it
was
a
requirement
in
the
script.
However
the
director
ensured
that
only
the
minimal
people
required
shooting
the
film
were
present
for
the
particular
scene.
The
sources
add
that
director
Anand
Rai
incorporated
the
scene
in
Strangers,
since
it
takes
the
story
ahead.
They
were
no
intention
to
add
sleaze
since
the
film
is
not
based
on
sleaze
but
a
shocking
tale
of
the
protagonist
being
Strangers
in
their
respective
marriages.
Stranger
is
about
the
emotional
turmoil,
mind
games
and
a
shockingly
devious
plot
that
forms
the
crux
of
the
emotional
thriller
starring
Jimmy
Shergill,
Kay
Kay
Menon,
Nandana
Sen
and
Sonali
Kulkarni.
Sahara
One's
Motion
Picture
were
so
impressed
by
the
film
that
it
bought
the
rights
and
will
be
presenting
Strangers.
