It's not about the clothes. Every girl has the right to dress up as per their society thy move in.....i think it should be done sensibly but again it's their choice. Turning on etc etc is given to us by nature , it's not our choice . It's in a man's mind and his body .
I'm not talking about women in general but actresses and models. Heroines like zeenat went bold , she was appreciated , sharmila "chose " to go bold by wearing a two piece in evening in Paris. helen chose to do item numbers ...Likewise many others . But in today's times there is no place for actresses. Girls have to look good , wear short clothes , do item numbers , hot photoshoots , kiss on screen , do 1 making out scene , even have fake affairs for pr. If they don't do it , some other girl will. So girls go that route consciously and what exactly is the intention ? They say its their choice , their body , they r comfortable in these clothes so nobody should have a problem. But men think otherwise don't they? Are they sexualizing themselves or not ? Are they forced to do such roles ?
It's glamor industry where everyone is there to exploit , everybody's main aim is to earn money whatever the means . If any girl is being sexualized , they must quit but do they? This whole debate about "who are you to tell any woman or man how to dress up , what to do what not " All this talk wouldn't be happening if girls and boys were not sexualizing themselves .
If I am not wrong, there was a paki actresses who was criticized for her bold photoshoot recently. Why exactly ?
