Never questioned frontal nudity in 'Qissa': Tillotama Shome (Interview)
Abu Dhabi, Oct 30: For "Qissa", Tillotama Shome has done what many Indian actresses would abstain from - a scene with frontal nudity.
Aesthetically shot, the "pertinent" scene marks a turning point in the story, in which the actress plays a girl brought up as a boy.
The actress, remembered as Alice of "Monsoon Wedding", says she didn't once question director Anup Singh about avoiding the scene.
"I didn't do it for any film yet - taken my shirt off and shown my breasts. In 'Qissa', it is a pertinent scene and the pertinence was of such a high order that when I read the script, I knew I had to do it," Tillotama.
