Sherlyn Chopra, born in Hyderabad in 1984, rose to
fame in the early 2000s with her performances in several small budget,
A-certified movies. She starred in some movies like Dosti: Friends
Forever(2005), Naughty Boy(2006), Game(2007), Red Swastik(2007) to name a few. Her
skin show, ready-to-pounce sex appeal, raunchy lovemaking scenes made her the
'bold' actor with a hot body and a loud mouth. Say hello to the current hottie,
Sherlyn Chopra.
She is supposedly the first Indian to feature in the hyped Playboy magazine. She
has gone nude, and repeatedly so, in the last one month. She is seen
comfortably standing with the media Mogul, Hugh Hefner. After having a
blink-and-miss performance in about ten films and three studio albums to her
credit, Sherlyn Chopra has finally arrived onto the tabloid scene of not just
Indian, but world-wide media forums.
She was playing the image she had created for herself- raw and sultry, but
well, she was playing herself in a YRF movie. Everyone thought that was her big
break, and finally, she had arrived in Bollywood. In this movie also, more than
the acting prowess of Sherlyn Chopra, we saw her playing a seductress with
plunging necklines, tight skirts and bikinis. She has been non-chalant about
her sexuality and its expression. She landed a side-role in an A-lister, Yash
Raj Films production, Dil Bole Hadippa in 2009.
Another small stint in Bigg Boss 3 in 2009 and we all thought that Sherlyn
Chopra is the new starlet to watch out for. But then she vanished for a couple
of years. New ladies arrived on the scene. Stunners like Rakhi Sawant, Veena
Malik and the more recent Poonam Pandey and Sunny Leone hogged the limelight
with new-age erotic cinema and sizzling item numbers and reality shows. Sherlyn
Chopra announces her photoshoot with the famed Playboy magazine. She tweets
pictures with the Playboy monarch Hugh Hefner, posing cosily with him in his
mansion.
Nudity
has become the new catch-phrase. Where one model claims to strip if this and
that happens, another one hides her private parts on the camera, giving us
near-nude pictures. Everyone is attempting at nudity in their own way. It is
about getting that spotlight, basking in that fame and becoming the hot-topic. Cut
to 2012. On a dull July evening, when people are winding up their offices and
heading home, one girl changes the game.
The announcement was followed by racy, nude pictures, which were, in a bit,
removed from the social networking site. Sherlyn Chopra has managed to hog the
limelight on social media and traditional media for over three weeks now. It
was official. Sherlyn Chopra was nude, and now she was famous. She did what her
contemporaries were aspiring to do.
She considers herself the liberated Indian woman,
who is not shy to flaunt her body, thoughts and sexuality. She speaks as she
thinks. In a recent tweet, she said, 'Thanks 2 all those who have applauded my
choice 2 b free-spirited n 2 do with my life what I please 2 do.I'm answerable
2 no one but myself.'
In a recent press conference, on being questioned about her Playboy shoot, she
aid, 'there is a difference between a porn star and a Playboy girl. Everyone
knows there is a difference between posing nude in front of a rolling camera
and having sex in front of one. And well, I have only taken the first step till
now.'(sic) She starts sniggering after the comment.
She continues, 'this is my life, my body and my work. This is not a local
magazine, it is the world-famous Playboy.'(sic) I am still left with my question, is nudity
the ticket to fame? Is the importance of an actor determined by how early the
actor strips?
