Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has stirred controversy by criticizing Ranveer Singh’s nude photoshoot, which recently sparked debates on artistic expression and cultural values. Khanna, known for his conservative views, condemned the shoot, calling it “inappropriate” and “unacceptable in Indian culture.” His comments, particularly his statement that “every wife should protest against such actions by their husbands,” have fueled a larger conversation about the boundaries of freedom of expression.
While some supported Khanna’s stance, many argued that Singh’s photoshoot is a form of self-expression and should be respected. Social media has been flooded with mixed reactions, with some applauding Singh for breaking taboos, while others agree with Khanna’s concerns about decency and cultural norms. Deepika Padukone, Singh’s wife and a leading actress, has not yet commented publicly on the controversy.
This debate comes at a time when Indian society is increasingly grappling with the intersection of modernity and tradition, especially concerning how celebrities influence social norms. Whether Singh’s photoshoot will lead to a shift in public perceptions or simply remain a flashpoint in the cultural discourse remains to be seen.
