Girls getting intimate doesn’t suggest lesbianism, says Neetu Chandra

Denying rumours that she got carried away while shooting a provocative male fantasy photo shoot for the cover of a men’s magazine, actress Neetu Chandra (of Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye) has stated, “I very much knew what I was doing and never got carried away. But if there is even an iota of doubt in anyone’s mind, let me make it clear once and for all that I am not a lesbo.”
It can be recalled that Neetu was shooting for the cover of “The Man’ magazine with a model outside the lobby of a 3-star hotel last week, when a group of regular male customers started shouting “Jai Maharashtra” slogans and threatened action from Raj Thackeray’s Maharashrtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). They even tried to confiscate the camera, resulting in the shoot having to be abruptly called off.
Neetu had termed them as “some frustrated men, who just wanted my attention. When they didn’t get it, they started making a scene about the shoot and threatening us.”
Now there has been talk about some activists planning to burn copies of the said magazine when its issue carrying Neetu’s images releases next week, alleging that the images have lesbian connotations. But Neetu flatly denies the charge. “It’s about two girls getting intimate to arouse male interest. And that doesn’t mean it’s about lesbianism,” she reiterates.
She says the shoot has been done so aesthetically that several Bollywood biggies have complimented her after the pictures made its way into television channels and papers even before the magazine hit the stands. “I am getting so many congratulatory phone calls, SMS’s and emails,” says Neetu and adds that even her family members in the conservative city of Patna, instead of being embarrassed, have praised the pictures.

haha, I see dudes holding each other like that all the time on the metro in Delhi and no one calls them gay!

on the other hand, why is it okay for girls to touch each other if it’s for male arousal, but not if they’re actually lesbians who don’t need men in the picture?
just think!

Forget whether this has lesbian connotations or not, and it definitely does (not meaning she has to therefore like girls as it is just ‘acting’ in the shoot), but the notion of posing half naked, or as good as naked, to please the desires of men is in itself a sinful thing for a conservative family. Yet they congratulate her? I never get it when people congratulate nudity - how hard is it? Babies are naked when they are born - there is nothing to it. Why congratulate? Stupid immoral people. Bollywood bitches are becoming like Western bitches! Especially with all the vajayjay flashes! They watch too much Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan. L
