A complaint was filed at the Chembur police station, over his nudes, by an office-bearer of a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), also based in the east Mumbai suburb, and a woman lawyer.
The NGO office-bearer stated the actor had hurt the sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty through his photographs. The application filed by the lawyer also demanded a case against Ranveer Singh on the charge of intent to outrage the modesty of women.
Ranveer Singh was photographed in the nude by PAPER magazine. In the pictures, the actor has stripped down to nothing, as he poses on a Turkish rug. His photoshoot was inspired by Burt Reynolds, who did a similar nude shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine.
