London, January 10 (ANI): Zhang Ziyi has incurred the wrath of critics after topless pictures of the Chinese actress getting intimate with her Israeli fiance hit cyberspace.

The Memoirs of a Geisha star had recently been snapped soaking the Caribbean sun donning only a pair of bikini bottoms while her billionaire Vivi Nevo thinned out the air between them.

The vacation snaps had enraged the tradition-preserving critics with many of them dubbing the artist as shameless, reports the Daily Express.

One critic wrote: “Zhang Ziyi is really shameless. She is with a foreigner, but should remember certain conduct is expected of Chinese women.”

China’’s Internet authorities had stepped in to censor the photographs, with many websites pulling them off cyberspace completely. (ANI)
