On 2nd December 2011, the question was: did Pakistani actress Veena Malik pose nude for FHM India's cover with ISI written on her arm?
That the photo caused a sensation is an understatement: triple trouble could be more appropriate an adjective: Veena is a Muslim woman from Pakistan, ISI is the initials of Pakistan's controversial Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency, and the magazine is based in India.
Then, Veena, through a spokesman reportedly said it's fake, that she never took part in such a photoshoot.
But FHM India said it's real, no photoshopping at all, and were willing to show proof.
Then, on 8th December 2011, the question became: is "topless" considered "nude"?
By that date she'd finally admitted that it was indeed her being topless on the cover of FHM India, but added that:
- while she was "topless", she was "covered" and "not nude", because "it was not that topless - a proportion of the body was covered with my hands." I can almost sense her haughty air as she continued by saying, "I won't allow anybody to remove my bikini or my shalwar (loose trousers) or my dupatta (scarf." But cryptically she then went on to say, "If I want to do it, I will do it myself. And if I do it, I will own it."
- she wants USD2 million from FHM India for doctoring the images to make her appear naked.
Again, FHM India repeated its earlier statement that "nothing was doctored."
The outspoken actress left with a parting shot, "If you look at the industry which I am working right now, there are various examples of such shoots - it's not that I am the first one who has done it. Why is sexuality such a big problem? Are we actually grown up? Are we still living in the jungles?"
